Tata Harrier 7-Seater SUV Launch Details, Expected Price & Specs
The Tata H7X will take directly on the Honda CRVand Mahindra XUV500.
2019 will witness some really exciting launches from Tata’s stable. While the home-grown carmaker kick started year with the launch of its much-awaited Harrier premium 5-seater SUV in January, the Harrier 7-seater version and 45X concept based hatchback will come later this year. Prior to their official launch, the company will showcase the Tata Harrier 7 Seater (codename – Tata H7X) and 45X hatch at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 2019. Alongside, the carmaker will also preview the Tata Hornbill mini SUV and an electric vehicle based on Alpha platform in their concept avatars.
Interestingly, the Tata Harrier 7 seater (Tata H7X) will carry a different nameplate along with minor design and feature upgrades. With all obvious reasons, the H7X SUV will have longer rear overhang with a third row of seats than the standard Harrier. Though, the wheelbase of the bigger SUV will be similar to the 5-seater version. Read – Tata 45X Hatchback To Challenge Maruti Suzuki Baleno
