I have liked the Tata H5X since the time I saw it first at the 2018 Auto Expo in New Delhi. I understand that it will be launched in January 2019 as the ‘Harrier’ and have a few questions regarding the car. When do you think they will launch the electric or hybrid versions? Should I consider these options looking at the rising fuel prices? What is your overall view about this car? Should I wait for E-Vision considering I am looking forward to electric variants?

AAA Tata has no plans to launch a hybrid or electric version of the Harrier. It will initially be available with only a 2.0-litre diesel engine sourced from Fiat. In other respects, the Harrier is very promising and will possibly the best Tata ever made, though it shares a platform and running gear with Land Rover.

The new car will be used around Bengaluru and on 600km highway runs.

While examining the interiors, look out for any stains on the seat.

Air flow at the vent should be ice-cold and without any odour.

The battery electrodes should be free of corrosion. Ask the showroom for its warranty card.

Check the exteriors thoroughly for any signs of damage like dents, scrapes or dimples.

The exhaust should not emit any smoke at start up.

Check if all the lights are working fine.

Don’t forget to take a test drive. The steering should work smoothly.

Check if the tread of the tyres is new.

All fluids should be at the correct levels.

Check the ‘Form 22’ to confirm the manufacturing month and year.

Lift up each carpet and check for any signs of water seepage inside.
