So is the ADAS system on the Tata Harrier actually useful in Indian driving conditions?
24 December 2024 12:34
I was skeptical about how ADAS would work in Indian conditions, but having used it in my Harrier, I’m impressed. In stop and go traffic on highways it's particularly useful. But it takes a little getting used to, and it’s no replacement for alert driving.
Is the Tata Harrier the hype, or just another overhyped Indian SUV?
24 December 2024 12:34
I honestly don’t think the Harrier is overhyped. It looks great, has a ton of features, but the quality issues are a deal breaker for me. I’ve heard too many horror stories about electronics failing and bad service experiences. If you are paying the same, you get a more reliable Korean or Japanese SUV.

I’ve had a Harrier for two years now and I can say, it’s definitely worth the hype. It has unmatched road presence and is a champ at handling Indian roads. There were some early niggles, but Tata has been on the ball to rectify these. It’s not perfect, but if you’re looking for a big, comfortable SUV it’s a pretty good choice.

I test drove the Harrier and its competitors, and it's a mixed bag. In ride quality, space and overall refinement, the Harrier is a winner, but it does lag behind some rivals. That really depends on what your priorities are. If you like a tough build and don’t mind the rough edges, go for it. If you’re looking for a more polished experience look elsewhere.

I don’t think it’s overhyped. Indian manufacturers take a huge leap forward with the Harrier. Is it perfect? No. It's competing with global brands at a much lower price point. The fact that we are even comparing it to established players shows how far Tata has come.

The truth is, the Harrier is catching the 'Made in India' wave. It's a decent car, nothing revolutionary there. Its strongest point is the design, but overall package is just average. I like to stick with a tried and true brand that has better long term reliability and resale value.
How does the Tata Harrier’s infotainment system compare to the competition?
24 December 2024 12:34
I've driven the Harrier's infotainment system and it's decent, not great. The UI is a bit clunky compared to something like the Creta’s system, but the screen is big and responsive. It’s not winning any awards, but it gets the job done.
How does the Tata Harrier’s infotainment system compare to the competition?
24 December 2024 12:34
The Harrier's infotainment is pretty impressive for an Indian made car. It’s not as polished as some European brands, but it’s packed full of features and easy to use. It also has a nice JBL sound system. It's not bad, I think it holds its own against most of its competitors in the segment.

Occasionally the Harrier’s infotainment system would freeze. When it happens it’s frustrating, especially if you used navigation. If Tata wants to get into the league of tech heavy Korean brands, it needs to work on software stability.
How does the Tata Harrier’s infotainment system compare to the competition?
24 December 2024 12:34
I'm not very tech savvy and for me, the Harrier system is simple and easy to use. It is easy to navigate because of large icons and simple menu structure. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of some rivals, but it does all the basics well.
How does the Tata Harrier’s infotainment system compare to the competition?
24 December 2024 12:34
It’s fine, but the infotainment system is nothing to write home about. The thing that bugs me is that there is no wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. That should be standard in this price range in 2024. What keeps the Harrier a step behind some competitors is these little details.
Is the Tata Harrier too big to be driven in cities?
24 December 2024 12:34
I drive a Harrier every day in Mumbai and honestly it’s not as bad as you’d think. Yes, it’s big but the view made it easy to navigate traffic. Parking can be a bit difficult, but the 360 degree camera makes it easier.

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.
Is the Tata Harrier too big to be driven in cities?
24 December 2024 12:34
I had test driven the Harrier but decided against it because it was too big. And in a city like Bangalore with notoriously bad traffic, I felt it was simply too big to be practical. So I went with a compact SUV and don't regret it.
Is the Tata Harrier too big to be driven in cities?
24 December 2024 12:34
One of the reasons I love my Harrier is because the size is actually quite small. It's big yes, but it feels safe and comfortable in the chaos of city traffic because of that. And, thanks to its high seating position, you have a great view of the road ahead. It's all about perspective.
Is the Tata Harrier too big to be driven in cities?
24 December 2024 12:34
I suspect the Harrier is painted too big. Other popular SUVs like the XUV700 are not that much bigger. It’s perfectly manageable in the city once you get used to it. It has a surprisingly good turning radius for its size.
Is the Tata Harrier too big to be driven in cities?
24 December 2024 12:34
I'll be the first to admit the size can be a problem in really tight spots as a Harrier owner. It's okay for most city driving, though. The real problem is fuel efficiency in heavy traffic, that's what you feel the weight of the car.
Is the Tata Harrier too big to be driven in cities?
24 December 2024 12:34
In fact, the Harrier is actually easier to drive in the city than small cars. You have a great visibility and the elevated seating position and the large windows are great when the traffic is unpredictable. Behind the wheel it's all about confidence.
How long can the Tata Harrier be relied upon in the longer run than its competitors?
24 December 2024 12:34
My Harrier has been pretty reliable and I have had it for 3 years now. Tata, had had a few minor electricals issues early on, but sorted them out under warranty. All in all, it's a solidly built feeling thing which I know will hold up.

As I’m from a family that’s been owning Toyota for years, I was skeptical about the Harrier’s reliability. So I took the plunge, and after 2 years I’m pleasantly surprised. It's not bulletproof Toyota level but it's way better than I imagined.
