What owners and experts like about the Tata Harrier

Highway stability

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“140 pe ye gaadi aisa feel hota hai ki 90 pe chal rahi hai. Rock solid, single hand se drive kar sakte hain. High speed stability jo Harrier provide karti hai woh 7XO nahi kar paati — isi wajah se Harrier choose ki.”

Highway overtaking

Strongly positivebased on 9 reviews

“Power bahut badhiya hai, jab nayi-nayi aayi thi tab to Sports mein hi chalayi — ud ke ghoomti hai. Itni power bahut hai, Sports mein to control mein bhi nahi aati.”

Highway mileage

Generally positivebased on 8 reviews

“Tank-to-tank calculation: the highway mileage came out to 14.39 km/l, cruising at a max of 90-95 km/h with AC on and two people in the car.”

City mileage

Generally positivebased on 6 reviews

“In the city this car is giving an average of 10 km/l -- that's the same as what my diesel automatic gives. So what's the problem? There's really no issue at all in going petrol.”

Ride comfort

Generally positivebased on 5 reviews

“Suspension fas, awesome — kuch feel nahi hota, drive quality bahut badhiya hai, is gaadi ki drive quality mein koi second thought hai hi nahi.”

Where the Tata Harrier falls short

Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.

Dashboard layout

Strongly negativebased on 5 reviews

“The gear shifter is not really nifty to use. It struggles when you're going from reverse to drive, especially if you're doing a three-point turn — you are going to have problems with it.”

Seat comfort

Mixed reviewsbased on 8 reviews

“Tata seats have always been very good historically, but on this, even though the support is nice, the squabs are a bit too short so under-thigh support is missing, at least for me. Even the cushioning is a bit firmer than the XUV's.”

Cabin refinement

Mixed reviewsbased on 14 reviews

“Ye dekho humne thoda bahut gaadi chalayi abhi usme ye samajh mein aaya, vibration hai — EV ka aadat ho gayi thi poori silent ki, isme diesel mein to vibration hai.”

Drivetrain reliability

Mixed reviewsbased on 11 reviews

“I've also heard about clutch plate wear-out issues with this car -- the clutch plate going bad early. That's also a fairly problematic situation reported with the Harrier (heard secondhand, not personally experienced by this owner yet).”

Fit & finish

Mixed reviewsbased on 5 reviews

“Panel gaps on the dashboard are quite uneven -- on the right side the gap is big enough to actually put a finger in, while the left side looks perfectly fine. At this price point, fit and finish should be more consistent.”
