Tata Motors will soon update its highly-popular Harrier SUV model lineup in the country. The carmaker recently dropped tweeted “See more, be more, #LiveMore! Get ready to experience panoramic views like never before”. While the company hasn’t revealed what update it will be, it’s likely to be the two new mid-spec XTA and XTA+ automatic variants. The existing Tata Harrier model lineup includes four automatic variants, namely, XMA, XMA+, XZA and XZA+. The new XTA and XTA+ automatic will feature the same 168bhp, 2.0L diesel engine that can be had with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic gearbox.
In other updates, the home-grown carmaker is ready to introduce the Tata HBX concept based micro SUV to challenge the Maruti S-Presso, Mahindra KUV100 and the upcoming Hyundai mini SUV. In fact, its production-ready first batch is ready to dispatch. Rumour has it that the model could be named ‘Tata Timero’ or ‘Tata Hornbill’. Its official name and details are likely to be revealed in coming weeks. The Tata HBX will be the brand’s smallest and most affordable SUV.

The former will be good enough for 110bhp and come with 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT gearbox options.
