Tata Motors unveiled the Harrier for export, rebranded as the Buzzard Sport, and revealed intentions to offer the vehicle in Europe at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show with the Buzzard. Since Toyota has already registered the name "Harrier" for the European and Asian markets, the name "Buzzard Sport" was chosen.
On August 27, 2019, the Harrier was introduced in Nepal under a new moniker, Tata H5, which was taken from the Tata H5X concept car. |

India's Tata Motors Limited manufactures the five-seater Tata Harrier, a compact crossover SUV with a diesel engine. It was introduced to the Indian market on January 23, 2019, and it sits in between the mid-size Tata Safari and the subcompact Tata Nexon.
During the development stage, this mid-size SUV was referred to as the Tata H5X concept car and was code-named Q501. In summer 2018, the parent corporation revealed the reduced name, 'Harrier'. The vehicle is a C-segment SUV built on the Omega Arc platform, which is effectively a redesigned version of the D8 platform used by the Jaguar Land Rover E-Pace, Range Rover Evoque, and Discovery Sport. Optimal Modular Efficient Global Advanced Architecture is referred to as OMEGARC. This building is monocoque. For safety, it has crumple zones. In contrast to the Jaguar Land Rover models' multilink suspension, the OmegaArc's rear suspension features a twist-beam scheme and panhard rod with coil spring, which is less expensive than the original D8. The front axle still uses an anti-roll bar and MacPherson strut with coil spring. There is less high-strength steel in the body.
Transmissions and engines are also subject to change. The Harrier's braking system consists of drums in the back and vented discs up front. Four-wheel drive is not yet available. It is a 2.0-liter engine. Fiat FCA India in Pune produces a multijet 16-valve, 4-cylinder turbo diesel with common rail direct injection and a variable-geometry turbocharger that produces 350 N⋅m (258 lb⋅ft; 36 kg⋅m) of torque and 140 horsepower (104 kW; 142 PS). In the Indian market, the MG Hector and Jeep Compass both use the same engine plant. Tata Motors calls the engine in the Harrier by the marketing name Kryotec. The Harrier's interior has a new 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto, and a 7-inch TFT display serves as the instrument cluster. Six airbags, traction control, and ESP stability control are standard on top model levels. In addition, a Terrain Response System (borrowed from Land Rover) with three selectable settings (Normal, Wet, and Rough) and three driving modes (Eco, City, and Sport) are available.

| HARRIER 2018 |
October 2018 saw the commencement of production at the Pune plant's new assembly line.
Tata Motors introduced the Tata Harrier #Dark edition in October 2019. The car's exterior and interior are completely black, as the name would imply. Other than that, nothing has changed on the mechanical front.
The Harrier was updated with new features in February 2020, such as a panoramic sunroof, more power, and a Hyundai-sourced automatic gearbox. Despite the fact that it now has 170 metric horsepower (168 horsepower; 125 kW).
When the Tata Harrier Camo edition, which has military-style graphics, was introduced in November 2020, the Harrier once more received feature improvements. Updated features include front parking sensors, side steps, and roof railings. Sunshades, 3D molded and 3D trunk mats, anti-skid dash mats, and a rear seat organizer are all included in the interior.
A brand-new 10.25" touchscreen infotainment system with a 7" digital instrument cluster, a 360-degree surround view camera, and ADAS semi-autonomous driving features were among the minor changes that the Harrier and Safari received in February 2023. and a brand-new Red #Dark version that is identical to the previous model but has red highlights on the front grille and an interior painted in red. This version is also unmodified mechanically. However, an all-electric Harrier EV concept with AWD was unveiled earlier in January 2023 at the Auto Expo with the previously mentioned Harrier and Safari Red #Dark variants. According to company executives, this model is scheduled to go into production in late 2024. Automatic transmission will be a part of this as well.
On October 6, 2023, the Harrier and Safari facelifts were unveiled. A production-ready Tata Harrier was on display at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2024 by Tata Motors.
