Honestly I don't think the new harrier needs anything to work on besides the tail lamps. Which aren't bad or ugly.. it's just that people will compare it to a certain premium hatchback (ifykwim)
Yes the quality of fit and finish is a big concern that Tata Motors needs to address sooner than later! I've TiagoEV fully loaded version: similar problems: Boot plastics components fall off, glove box lock is a nonsense and it opens on jerks, the ceiling fabric comes out from door rubber linings 😮😢
A review as straight as an arrow! Lots of people used to complain about the left leg fouling with the bottom of the dashboard and the centre console. Is that issue still there?
never seen anyone pointing to shortcomings in the car like you do Sirish.. I remember you noted short comings in the fit and finish of VW Taigun which was fixed later..thank you for a candid review
When you do a proper test drive, please do one in the night on Highway. It's important to get feedback about adequacy of lights. Also, do drive in congested roads. Try some roads that challenge the blind spot. Take this to some tough terrains and drives. Challenge its ADAS, although safely for sure.
@sirishch Which wrist watch you wore in this presentation. It’s dope! Slew of smartwatches but you have really nice taste of wearable. Please do respond if you see this.
Hey great review, really went into a lot of details! One thing i wonder is that reviewers in India don't spend much time talking about luggage room or whether the rear seats fold flat or not?
Since this was a first drive review , we rarely have the time go into a lot of details. But we shall keep this in mind when we do the comprehensive review
Hey Sirish, Amazing review as usual🔥🔥 few quick things, I believe the Google maps litsup in the MID with the Android Auto I believe and Apple Maps with CarPlay, And on 10:05, don’t they offer a volume controls in the steering wheel?
Unless a car offers 4*4 capability, i really don’t see the upside to owning a manual on a daily driver car in 2023. Not only is the technology ancient, our roads, traffic and parking constraints just make an Auto a lot more practical. 70-80% of their running time cars are stuck in traffic. The only time I’d really consider a Manual is if it is new age, smooth, with powershift etc. and it’s your secondary or weekend car.
Tata Harrier Fearless+ AT vs Jeep Compass Limited 4x2 AT. which1 is best? Considering: - wud keep for 8-10 years - average running is 8k/year mostly in Pune - 15-20 long-short highway trips yearly - to be driven by myself and my wife We like Jeep compass because of its look, size, safety but are hesitant because of - doubt on Jeep long term presence in India - high maintenance & part cost (nt sure) - no 360 camera and ADAS We liked the new harrier in many aspects but again - It's cost is just 2-2.5 lakhs below compass - Premiumness, fit & finish not great as Compass - size is still bigger especially width (practical for city/traffic?) Kindly share your valuable thoughts
The amount of detail in this video. Stellar! Truly blown away. One quick question set though, Are the 19 inchers on the dark edition worth it? Will the change in profile compromise on ride quality? How much costlier would the tyres be?
One small error. When you connect an Apple device to the ICE only apple maps can be projected onto the center console. While if you connect an Android device, only Google Maps can be projected on the center screen.
That's the best part of removing the buttons and given touch sensitive. It looks cool and amazing. Marvellous design. Use voice recognition and adjust the controls while driving.
Wonderful and detailed review. Already a huge fan of Sirish. Being a Harrier owner, completely agree about the quality issues, especially finishing and minor glitches which are not showstoppers but more of irritants. This new version looks great. Am I tempted to exchange my current one for this? Nah - same engine performance .. isn't it? XUV700 will still remain numero uno in this segment in that department. Otherwise I have done 45k in last couple years, and Harrier is a very reliable car for a long journey ... Love my beast ... The king of bad roads.
Superb review Sirish ! Everyone simply focuses only on the positives and go crazy over its looks. You balanced both negatives and positives! Best automotive reviewer in India.
Amazing upgrades! Great review on the hands of Sirish and this new headlamp deserves a night time review in different scenarios as this new setup may limit user customization/upgrade. And @evo team, will this replace your existing long term harrier?
Well presented and covered all the aspects in the presentation, pretty well. No un-necessary chirping and fiddling, which others do in their presentation.
All the car reviews from all channels will always be on good roads. I would appreciate if your channel can make videos on the experience of driving the Harrier in city traffic or potholed roads Having said that, your videos are a treat to watch and this was one more excellent review of the Harrier facelift
Usually media drives are given the first batch pre production models. And the actual ones which customers receive will have a better quality checks & finishes. Again not sure why manufacturers like Tata does not do qc for the pre production ones
Crisp review!!! Liked it. Question: My usage of the bigger vehicle is low. If I make the diesel Harrier stand still for a month with no usage will it develop any problem related to DPF or anything related to engines being a diesel vehicle? Otherwise I will opt for Seltos Petrol Turbo. Only the look and feel of Harrier is making me double minded.
No modern vehicle would have a problem if it's unused just for a period of a month. For longer periods, the manual should have procedure you can follow to no cause any problems. Apart from that, look after the car well, and you shouldn't have any issues.
Run away from the Harrier. This is a quarter baked one. Go for the Seltos. It's a far rounded product. Even the pre-facelift top-end Seltos , had plushness in the cabin on par with the Volvo V40 during my TD in 2019. Just to give you a picture. Yes, the sheet metal build is inferior to the Harrier and poses safety concerns regarding the build. Keep that in mind. Personally I feel such hefty sheet metal build is an overkill deadweight futilely lugged around by the engine. Aside from this, Seltos is miles ahead than the Harrier. And, the dimensions of the Seltos is more agile, friendly for anywhere/everyday use.
If for daily use automatic or the manual to get....and how much does missing out on 4x4 does it affect this car.... I'm seriously considering to buy one so?!
Will we ever see evo India videos with better than 1080p video res? Amazingly detailed reviews and content, but not the best quality in terms of video res :(
@@evoIndia🥲🫠 will try to find the magic trick for sure. By the way sir, the video is great and the qualitative analysis is what I was waiting for before booking the model. I will wait out to test these and communicate with dealership. Thanks for the video!
I have 2021 Harrier Automatic nd LUCKILY i havent faced any Quality issue till now..😅..yes it has lack of finesse like my other other 2 cars( XC 60 nd City) bt i have to say it is damn ROBUST..❤️nd i love that feel ❤️
I just do not like the illuminating steering wheel, please keep it the same as before, digital screens are everywhere now, we don't want digital screens on the steering wheel, it just kills the manliness feeling of the car, and in the exterior, the supporting rails on the roof is just ruining the bada*s look of the Harrier, please remove it from the next generation. These are the 2 feedbacks that I want Tata Motors to genuinely consider because the Tata Harrier is my dream car and it was just perfect! But these 2 changes are not good at all, kindly fix it.
Tata cars feel more premium than any other manufacturers in any sagment. I find their fit and finish far more better than hyundai kia mahindra vehicles.
@@evoIndia I liked the old steering. Gave that german engineering feeling of the vw. This new design of tatas steering wheel seems like shiny plastic with a bland flat boxy design, no contours, no flow and would leve smudges by the looks.. hope Tata will get this feedback
Physical Knobs, Buttons and please remove youtube from infotainment screen..this is a big distraction. Yes quality is an issue plus TATA motors service not good at all..
To my knowledge the maps on the instrument cluster depends on your phone. The Apple Maps on Caprplay and Google maps on Android Auto. But yes, google maps can be projected on the screen, just need an android phone. I think most manufacturers have moved on from physical switches to capacitive buttons and Harrier is no different, which is honestly sad. But I think steering controls should work, it may not be as bad as you sound it to be 😅, and doesn't Harrier also come with voice controls? That should make switching volume a bit easier no? I think what Tata needed was a newer generation or atleast a more extensive, thorough update inside and out. It is still a good product but customers these days are spoilt for choice. And Harrier, even with this update may not be on top of that list.
Obsession of auto manufacturers with touch sensitive operations is really disheartening. It's a feature no one really asked for. Love old-school cars for their practicality and analogue nature.
@@evoIndia The dealership and tata themselves have been very cooperative and replaced a lot parts under warranty. But to have so many issues in a brand new vehicle does put a bug in the owner's mind as to what happens after warranty expires. I recently sold my nexon

Really glad to see that Sirish go always an extra mile to cover all pros and cons in a concise manner with full honesty. He is a true enthusiast… 👏
Always for viewers!

You can adjust your seat accordindly.

Harrier truly looks like a world class product. Tata should aim to go global with this new Harrier.

Amazing review as usual🔥🔥
few quick things,
I believe the Google maps litsup in the MID with the Android Auto I believe and Apple Maps with CarPlay,
And on 10:05, don’t they offer a volume controls in the steering wheel?
i agree with you on DRL design
But that’s what Tata Motors has decided to stick to
I was surprised to see that even a Harrier manual also has ADAS and it works like the Harrier automatic.
Just need manual control of the gears
What I really liked about evo, is that, you take time to respond to every single comments., which other channels lacks it.
Unless a car offers 4*4 capability, i really don’t see the upside to owning a manual on a daily driver car in 2023. Not only is the technology ancient, our roads, traffic and parking constraints just make an Auto a lot more practical. 70-80% of their running time cars are stuck in traffic.

Tata Harrier Fearless+ AT vs Jeep Compass Limited 4x2 AT. which1 is best?
Considering:
- wud keep for 8-10 years
- average running is 8k/year mostly in Pune
- 15-20 long-short highway trips yearly
- to be driven by myself and my wife
We like Jeep compass because of its look, size, safety but are hesitant because of
- doubt on Jeep long term presence in India
- high maintenance & part cost (nt sure)
- no 360 camera and ADAS
We liked the new harrier in many aspects but again
- It's cost is just 2-2.5 lakhs below compass
- Premiumness, fit & finish not great as Compass
- size is still bigger especially width (practical for city/traffic?)
Kindly share your valuable thoughts
The amount of detail in this video. Stellar! Truly blown away.
One quick question set though,
Are the 19 inchers on the dark edition worth it? Will the change in profile compromise on ride quality? How much costlier would the tyres be?
Prices will be out soon and we shall know then. Do take a test drive and find out if you like them personally.
Really love the new interiors and steering in all new Tata cars, Nexon, harrier and upcoming Safari. They should also update altroz
Other Tata cars should be being worked on.
@@evoIndia yes agreed
One small error. When you connect an Apple device to the ICE only apple maps can be projected onto the center console. While if you connect an Android device, only Google Maps can be projected on the center screen.
How is headlight performance of Safari/Harrier compared to XUV700 ???? Its also important for safety.
That's the best part of removing the buttons and given touch sensitive. It looks cool and amazing. Marvellous design. Use voice recognition and adjust the controls while driving.
I watch evo for these kind of videos.Quality, technical superiority.
Glad you like it

Lovely car , hopefully one day I own this
We hope the day comes soon!
I like the way he explained it's straight.
Glad you liked it.
Superb review Sirish ! Everyone simply focuses only on the positives and go crazy over its looks. You balanced both negatives and positives! Best automotive reviewer in India.
I have a doubt, will these quality issues be addressed when the vehicle starts to be delivered to the public?
Amazing upgrades! Great review on the hands of Sirish and this new headlamp deserves a night time review in different scenarios as this new setup may limit user customization/upgrade. And @evo team, will this replace your existing long term harrier?
We don’t have a Harrier in the fleet now but we would love to have one.

Run away from the Harrier. This is a quarter baked one.
Go for the Seltos. It's a far rounded product. Even the pre-facelift top-end Seltos , had plushness in the cabin on par with the Volvo V40 during my TD in 2019. Just to give you a picture.
Yes, the sheet metal build is inferior to the Harrier and poses safety concerns regarding the build. Keep that in mind. Personally I feel such hefty sheet metal build is an overkill deadweight futilely lugged around by the engine.
Aside from this, Seltos is miles ahead than the Harrier. And, the dimensions of the Seltos is more agile, friendly for anywhere/everyday use.
For the weight and size of this car, doesn’t it feel slightly underpowered? Like i would appreciate if numbers are spoken of in relative terms.
Lovely video with good details.
Good point out on the manual flaws
What would you choose then harrier or xuv 700?
If for daily use automatic or the manual to get....and how much does missing out on 4x4 does it affect this car.... I'm seriously considering to buy one so?!
Unless you will off-roading on a regular basis , you won’t miss the 4x4. And the AT is a better choice
Excellent review. You hit the points on QC perfectly! A wonderful product ruined by a lacklustre attitude in quality and service.
Fantastic review by Sirish. please please don't let any other hosts to post these high-viewable videos
Glad to hear you loved the video.
As it's manual, how adaptive cruise control will work? Will it downshift or upshift automatically
You will have to manually take control and drop gears once the revs go below 1500rpm
SONG: Let's Get It - Captain Joz
Dat last 1%..u nailed it..
Glad you liked it
when can we expect petrol version from Harrier (TATA)
Ye, I agree with the connected led drl should be eV exclusive
Then again, Tata Motors might have some idea behind it.
He didn’t talk about the variant this is? What variant is this? Adventure? Adventure plus? No idea!
This was fearless+, one under dark
It's better if u do all the car drive reviews.

Previous tata harrier had same streeing issue tata definitely improved streeing issue
Yes they have.
superb product!!
Only if Tata Motors fixes a few bits here and there.
It should be 4x4 - Ladder frame, then only it can compete with likes of Scorpio-N, Jimny, Fortuner etc.
Isn't meant to compete with those as such.

the previous harrier was elite
