The Hexa is Tata’s flagship product in the passenger vehicles department as of now. That, however, could change soon, as the company is looking to launch the Harrier SUV next year. Rivalling the Jeep Compass, the Tata Harrier would be priced around Rs 15 lakh and could take the crown of Tata Motors’ flagship product from the Hexa when it arrives early next year.
