On top, a dual tone roof puts up a show every time you look up, while rugged roof rails exude boldness and masculinity while adding a degree of utility.
The side profile is accentuated by the signature Harrier mascot on the doors and stylish 18-inch alloys with aero inserts.
At the rear signature connected LED tail lamps with sequential turn indicators and welcome and goodbye animation leaves a lasting impression. An attractive centre position lamp runs across the width of the boot, giving it a look to die for.
