Tata Harrier Adventure X+ vs X: What’s New for ₹35,000 Extra
Tata Motors has expanded its Harrier SUV lineup with two new variants — Adventure X and Adventure X+ — catering to buyers seeking a premium experience below ₹20 lakh. While the Adventure X is priced at ₹18.99 lakh, the X+ variant demands ₹19.34 lakh, bringing along multiple upgrades that justify the ₹35,000 price bump.
Key feature additions in Adventure X+:
- Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with adaptive cruise control
- Front and rear disc brakes
- Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) with auto-hold function
These three upgrades significantly enhance driving convenience and safety, making the Adventure X+ a more well-rounded offering.
Exterior Design and Styling
The Harrier Adventure X+ stands out with its bold and modern SUV design. It features:
- Exclusive “Seaweed Green” color option (one of six total shades)
- LED projector headlamps with signature DRLs
- Silver grille accents and functional air bands for improved aerodynamics
- 19-inch alloy wheels with a smart silver finish (235/65 R17 profile)
- Functional roof rails (design only, not load-bearing)
- Full 360° camera setup with sensors on the front, rear, and ORVMs
- Radar and camera integration on the front for ADAS functionality
- Smart LED tail-lamp setup with bold rear design cues including shark-fin antenna, rear spoiler, defogger, rear wiper, and chrome badging
Interior and Cabin Experience
Inside, the Adventure X+ offers a dual-tone theme with tan and black elements, creating a visually premium and spacious cabin feel. Major highlights include:
- Electronically adjustable 6-way driver seat
- All four power windows with one-touch up/down & anti-pinch
- 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Digital instrument cluster displaying ADAS engagement and vehicle telemetry
- Automatic climate control with both digital and physical controls
- Terrain response modes: City, Eco, and Sport + Rough/Rain/Wet modes
- Flat-bottom steering wheel with illuminated Tata logo and mounted controls
- Panoramic sunroof, manual IRVM, and premium black piano and wood finishes on the dash
While the cabin exudes sophistication, some minor misses like the absence of wireless charging, electrochromic IRVM, and vanity mirrors on both visors were noted.
Rear Cabin and Boot Space
The rear cabin is optimized for comfort with:
- Black leatherette upholstery
- USB Type-C and Type-A ports for rear passengers
- No center hand rest (a trade-off for enhanced middle passenger comfort)
- Ample legroom and supportive seat design
- Rear door with power windows, magazine holders, and grab handles
Boot space is generous for a 5-seater configuration, and while the boot lid is manually operated, it features hydraulic struts. The Adventure X+ does not offer a spare wheel but includes a puncture kit. However, essentials like a 12V socket or rear boot light are missing.
Engine, Performance & Safety
Under the hood, the Harrier Adventure X+ houses a 2.0L Kryotec diesel engine delivering:
- Power: 170 PS
- Torque: 350 Nm
- Mileage: Claimed 14–16 km/l
- Transmission: Automatic
- Fuel type: Diesel only (50L tank capacity)
In terms of safety:
- Global NCAP 5-star rating
- Full disc brakes
- Level 2 ADAS suite: includes lane keep assist, forward collision warning, emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control
Tata Harrier Adventure X+ vs Safari Adventure X: Should You Pay ₹65,000 More?
For buyers considering a 7-seater, the Safari Adventure X is available at ₹19.99 lakh — just ₹65,000 more than the Harrier Adventure X+. The Safari brings similar feature offerings but adds third-row seating. Those with larger families or future seating flexibility in mind might find the Safari a better fit.
However, for individuals or families seeking a feature-rich 5-seater SUV with powerful diesel performance, high safety ratings, and stylish road presence, the Tata Harrier Adventure X+ delivers substantial value under ₹20 lakh.
Verdict: A Smart Buy in the Sub-₹20 Lakh Premium SUV Segment
With the Adventure X+ variant, Tata Motors offers a compelling full-size SUV alternative that ticks nearly every box in this price range — from design and comfort to performance and tech features.
The SUV is ideally suited for buyers looking for a diesel-powered, high-safety, premium 5-seater SUV, especially those who do not require a third row. Its minimal compromises are balanced by a rich feature list and strong road presence, making it a standout option in India’s competitive SUV market.
