Verdict: Style Meets Substance
The Tata Harrier and Safari Stealth Editions are more than just cosmetic exercises—they’re a testament to Tata’s ability to blend rugged utility with urban sophistication. While the price hike is steep for aesthetics alone, the allure of a factory-built, head-turning SUV will resonate with enthusiasts.
