Is the Tata Harrier too big to be driven in cities?

The Tata Harrier has a large presence on the road and impressively looks the part, which are arguments commonly cited by the manufacturer. But how practical is this large footprint in urban environments? Indian cities are famous for their narrow roads, small parking spaces and traffic chaos. The Harrier's size might actually be an advantage on highways and open roads, but an obstacle in city centers. Certain users prefer the security and visibility offered by a larger car, whereas others are intimidated by hard to negotiate tight spaces. The debate even includes fuel efficiency in stop and go traffic and the ease of finding suitable parking spaces. With more and more buyers looking to the SUV segment for daily driving these days, this becomes even more relevant, especially so as to find out if the Harrier's dimensions are a boon or bane in that urban driving is concerned.

I switched from a hatchback to a Harrier so I can say it took some getting used to. In narrow lanes, it feels massive and U turns can be a pain. The downsides of that are that they tend to be heavy, bulky, and require a large amount of space, but the benefits of space and comfort outweigh the downsides for me. Adapting your driving style is all it’s about.
