[@asitkhanda]

The only thing I hate about the updated models of Tata is the all touch-based gloss center console. Buttons are tactile and doesn't need a serious attention of the driver to be worked with. Touch based controls that give no feedback when touched upon was a particularly bad idea. Maybe, Tata can learn from Hyundai and give a combination of button/touch with feedback on the center console.

[@noice8674]

But you can control almost everything through voice command. From AC to sunroof to music. So it shouldn't be a major problem.

[@CAPT_PHYSICS]

It's a type of cost cutting if you don't mind, Buttons need more work as mechanically, but touch based buttons are little less because of programmed.

[@divyanshbhutra5071]

Exactly. Idk why everyone is going mad over it. I mean, in Europe this happened ages ago, and most manufacturers are now switching back to proper buttons, or at least proper haptics rather than some stupid vibrations.

[@ajinkya820]

@@noice8674that is major problem .. half of the time there is noise and half of the time it doesnot work as expected .. a Simple tactile button or knob would does the job and no one will have to take off the sight from the road ..

[@neog3461]

Exactly. And those idiots even put boot release button there as a touch button

[@kindofanmol]

I know this is gonna sound kinda corny but I'm GENUINELY proud of Tata Motors and how far they've come. This is a class-leading SUV imo.

[@PeakyBlinder92]

You do sound corny😂

[@abhijeetchavan13]

Except 4×4

[@Johnironvick]

Buy Tata first, then talk. I have had a Tata Safari Decor for the last 12 years, and their after-sales service is superb. The Tata team has been very supportive with pickup and drop service and maintenance scheduling. So, Tata is the best

[@VKEDITZKBFC]

Me too, the service is top notch

[@metaphysicalrider1111]

When other companies were trying to dominate Tata, tata was preparing themself to bang them all like a tank. What a transformation Tata.. though i dont own it, but iam proud of you

[@pankajgarg100]

It is a big disappointment and surprise that Tata engineers could not remove such a small flaw that the driver's knee hits the dashboard, which is quite serious.

[@MayankLongiany]

The only concerns here are the glossy black trim and Tata's track record with dealership behaviour and servicing.

[@madhavendrashenoy]

7:10 In all the Tata Harrier 2023 reviews, the main problem discussed is the left knee hitting the dash. As a 6':2" guy, it is a big let down 😢

[@Kickbox52]

Tbh after my safari broke down at 25k kms and just 20 months life and didn’t start again, the dealership people are yet to say what has happened shows how Tata is a unreliable brand and how their service is still bad. The looks are a facade inside its still a waste of 28 L for me

[@navixaxa5023]

Bhai, I have the 2020 Harrier Dark Edition Top Model. Ye kaunsi problems bata rahe ho 😂 maine to aaj tak aisa kuch face nahi kiya. Have the Crysta Touring Sport and Legender, and this car equals the superior comfort of the Crysta. Went to Jodhpur from Gurgaon in Jan, and drove the Crysta till Kishangarh, and the Harrier till Ajmer. Unrivalled experience. Bc Legender to race me hi nahi hai. The only qualms I have with this car is the infotainment system [looks kinds outdated], and that Handbrake [just that the cup holders become problematic to use]. Baaki to sab superb hai. Aur jahan tak bat touch controls ki hai, bhai Siri aur Bixby bhi itna hi time leti hai kaam karne me. What matters is that they're able to register and understand what has been said to them. Itni tagdi gaadi bana di. XUV, Seltos wagera to kuch bhi nahi hai iske saame.

[@tarunsingh229]

I somehow feel they’ve botched up the aggressive looks of the Harrier, which really made it stand out. The front design of the old Harrier was the USP of the Car. This is very Hyundaish, very confusing, too much cuts & creases. The beast look has gone for a toss.

[@noice8674]

All the Future designs of TATA will be EV oriented with better aerodynamics. Gone are the days where SUVs looked macho. Upcoming designs will be subtle and futuristic.

[@ideaman1087]

Martin Uhlarik, Head of Design for Tata Motors European Technical Centre, UK. Really looks doing a great job for TATA MOTORS after Pratap Bose.

[@anantutube]

I was biggest critique of hydraulic steering. Thank god .. finally .. electric is here .. hope in gold edition they offer both tilt and telescopic adjustment.

[@MixyezGuy]

Tata Motors had one major issue to fix - the centre console obstructing the driver's knee, and they didn't fix it.

[@VikneshSadasivan]

This is how you do a review. How can you not like and subscribe to such great content. Very well done.

[@Geetikantha]

4X4 or AWD was a must here. It's a very big miss to be honest.

[@premprabhakar805]

they said it will come with ev as an option

[@ruturajfakatkar1758]

Tata Motors should provide an option of AWD like other brands so that car enthusiasts can sometimes go for a bit off-roading and a better grip.

[@fish0733]

Agreed

[@I.S.Chawla]

True waiting for that day..

[@krish5445]

1st n foremost they should learn how to provide a good after sales service, rest is all unnecessary and subjective.

[@damdardude]

Very few real enthusiasts who buy awd for going off-roading. Difficult for brands to make such offerings from financial point of view.

[@geetarthneo]

Thar's best selling model is the 2wd version. And that is a enthusiast car, not like the Harrier which is a family car.

[@ashwaneeeee]

Feeling so proud seeing an Indian company making world class products ❤

[@aneeshkashyap2853]

Tata definitely has upped the game by adding more tech and features, but we definitely need AWD

[@santanukumar5220]

Forget Discovery Tata has tried to make dream of every Indian true of a tech suv.❤

[@dibyendubose2314]

I am really surprised why TaMo is not correcting the ergonomics of the dash touching the knees if the driver who’s around 6 feet. If “arithmetic” (that the proportion of such customers is not material enough), is the only reason then no one would have built ramps for wheelchairs

[@debarghyaroy556]

How does auto emergency braking work with the manual? Wouldn't it stall the car, or does it somehow engage the clutch by itself too?

[@sainofficial7759]

Really proud on tata ! Tata gives a epic vibes 🔥

[@bikramsingh7768]

When is the ev coming ??

[@theunemployedmind]

Why is tata doing away with physical buttons?? I’ve been looking forward to the new harrier but. On unpredictable indian roads where even having 4 eyes is less, now you need to look at the panel to select or change functions. Thats just dangerous.

[@PramadakM]

Need an comparison video between 2023 harrier vs kia Seltos, need to see how the adas and other features are like between them

[@TheGauravjhanwar]

Certainly Tata does come up with the advance feature loaded cars making them Cars of the Future. But sadly they are still not going into the Petrol version and bit of improvement in the After Sales Service at Service Centre is the need of the hour.

[@anishisabish]

It looks so imposing man. Such a sleek yet aggressive look!

[@einstankan]

Amazing content, Autocar.. Polished to the point as always..

[@shaheens9837]

I hope they solved the niggles which plagued the pre-facelift version. And the lack of a petrol engine and awd is a bit of a bummer. But otherwise this is a very good facelift and makes the Harrier much more desirable

[@gamer-fl6ef]

Will altroz get a facelift too this year??

[@vishalanand8971]

A Mild Hybrid option with 80-100 km range would have been a game changer

[@boxersoho]

Harrier weighs 1700kg + without any load because of solid build. Hybrid for now is limited to light cars with 1100kg around load and that too feels low in power.

[@etcgamer2515]

Tata nailed it Ahead in competition

[@raghunathsrinivasan4078]

Tata's are quite behind in technology compared to M&M. They know the specs of XUV700 AX7L the top of the line. It has so many advanced features like pentalink independent rear suspension, AWD, Headlamp booster and the likes. These are existing in the market since 2 years. Yet these features are missing in the latest offering from Tata.

[@salilz]

Yup and last in car servicing competition

[@alok5065]

@@raghunathsrinivasan4078 yet their ev runs on ancient tech

[@VKEDITZKBFC]

@@raghunathsrinivasan4078 are these things mentioned here very important?

[@aditya2691]

I feel Tata has listened to everything except a couple of issues.. The back seat still doesn’t recline, the knee touching dashboard and a 4x4 option.

[@callsigncrusader9877]

If people can look past the inconsistency gaps in body panels this is an amazing car to drive

[@ganeshm6295]

Is the left knee hitting dashboard while gear shifting solved here?

[@Krieky]

‘Increase blower speed, please!’ So polite! Great review as always. The car looks great. But unless they can fix their quality and ergonomics…Look at the absurd place for the phone! Were they not thinking??

[@anjjusista75]

will it get 4*4, which is long pending ?

Please do make a review on Black Edition of Harrier especially lower variant (Adventure+ Dark)

Things to look regarding previous harrier stearing wheel clutch , gear box r they still heavy as compared to previous ones please suggest thanks

[@rahuljayachandran4128]

Would love to see a video of autocar team's personal cars-Want to know if you went with your head or your heart when it comes to car choices😁😍..

[@champ8080]

It’s high time automakers stop the gloss black interiors and exteriors. The material looks shiny on the day of purchase but looks woefully ugly scratchy shit within a week. Incompetence of designers to identify alternatives is alarming! I have 2 cars filled with these glossy black and I’m tired of taking care of them….

[@itsNaveen9]

I also felt left knee touching the dash and disturbing while driving if you are taller, like 6f. That was most irritating part 😢

[@huzioman]

Please review the new Jeep Compass Limited/Blackshark 4x2 Automatic

[@Pavan_Aiyappa]

What is that part which hangs down in the center , i have not seen anybody commenting on that, it doesnt look good from front or when noticed from other vehicles !!!

[@aimanfitri0iv]

I'm absolutely like the facelift it looks super beautiful 😍💖

[@AtingL-o3q]

The industrialists must understand that time has changed and they can't just sell their product betting on religious propaganda e.g Patanjali or based on patriotism e.g micromax...To make my point clear both of this brand failed miserably coz both of them were selling cheap product but 'Tata' is different...they sell reliability, strong built-in quality products thats best of the best in the line... Thats why Tata will proudly make its mark in the consumers ❤️

[@mohanprasad9845]

Did we get electronic power steering also they should have all wheel drive even grand vitara does have

[@einstankan]

5:47 but can it run CRISIS 3 on max graphics though…🤔 :p

I am confused whether to buy Safari or Harrier. Hairs are going grey.

[@taljeetsingh1545]

The Wise Man of Autocar India

[@sivaselvam]

Very nice, the background music is kept at a very low volume, easy on our ears and helps to focus on the review. Keep this standard for all reviews. In many reviews the music used to go overboard, jarring and makes it difficult to follow the review.

[@minimalist1911]

Lacks CLASS! This is what separates ur Audi, BMW, Merc and Volvo from the rest. We know they are luxury brands, but how do u bring that luxury feel to ur customer at a lower price? That's what Tata and Mahindra have to figure out. When u buy a car, u should FEEL IT!

[@capricornus993]

These are not positioned as luxury products. They’re marketed as premium offerings. Good to have at a fairly reasonable price.

[@Mr.abhishek3266]

Tata harrier is beast🔥😎

[@Mi62047]

So the knee hitting the dashboard remains! What about the deep and hard clutch?

[@kiranm25x]

Clutch deep and hard is basic feature of 2.0 Multijet, be it Hector or Compass or Harrier. Tata won't or cant fix it unless they go to some other engine

[@thewarlord502]

Big thumbs up for bringing up the refinement concern. Thats the biggest bummer for Tata cars and a shame that its carried over here as well. For someone who loves engine this is a big red flag.

[@rupeshchauhan878]

Is there any model in harrier have light interior?

[@bhattacharyasandeep]

Superb coverage of a superb product from TML !

[@juhihingorani3670]

I’m just under six feet tall needs a channel of its own ❤️

Can you guys do a comparison of the new Tata Harrier Automatic and Jeep Compass 4x2 Automatic

Service, build , fit and finish

[@ThePerlgeek]

Tata's design team will surely get a raise this year! LOL , @NikhilBhatia ,super walkthough as always!

[@drsankaranarayanan]

excellent car but a word to the tata engineers...the knee touching the dash and the shin touching the centre tunnel plastics is a big issue for long rides. the punch, nexon and harrier has this same issue..loks like a minor issue that can be solved by tata engineers...on long drives for tall people that is a big issue..hope the rectification comes soon...for this one single reason i opted out of punch and nexon..in my mid forties with a whole lot of long drives i cant afford to fatigue my legs by not being able to rest them comfortably

[@Abhishek-e9t]

Glossy panel and touch this is getting bad not better. It will be fingerprint magnet. Although cleaning won't be an issue but I m worried about long time durability of such touch panels replacement would be costly

[@sagarkumarvaland8460]

Technology and the perfect one for all the best ride 🔥

[@dorjinamgay3569]

Just few tweaks …. Don’t be fooled by cosmetic change by infotainment and color😅😅 esp the Colors …… what make a vehicle is it’s mechanicals, so 2nd Gen harrier is still miles n miles away from XUV700 reason being AWD a big miss

[@einstankan]

5:46 imagine honking the horn, out of reflex.. Yes, that happens sometimes.. Now imagine the same except you have this new steering wheel with this amazing LCD screen right where the horn is supposed to be… yikes… ❤️‍🩹

[@einstankan]

5:47 new lcd on steering wheel, and you still use that same logo. Huh? 🤷

[@wonderland7142]

An AWD option will be highly appreciated 👍

[@Galaxyeyez]

I was curious about how Tata was doing these days since they left the South African Market years ago. I see they've modernised well since the Indigo.

[@DeepakSharma-sp8cr]

Good but why this fixation on Diesel ? Does Tata not have Tech. to make Petrol, Flexi fuel vehicles?

[@cheguramana]

excellent review. wl search for the Safari review as well.

[@gp_here]

Given Tata has so many variants which stretch across a very wide price range, I'd request Autocar to include the changes in interiors across the variants as well. Maybe the interior could be filmed as a Tata showroom - I understand you guys can only use the car you get for the media drive.

[@pradeepbhatia3317]

Looks and interiors are fabulous. The review is professional and adequately critical. All in all a very useful video.

Nikhil never stops being naughty lol. Big fan since my school days. thats 25+yrs now. Kudos folks.

[@rakmanbaba]

4:56 Who uses blower control with an automatic climate control anyway. Set it to 'Lo' using the temp toggles and the blower will go to full blast when u start off and then bring the temp back up to ur preferred setting once the cabin has cooled sufficiently. I hate it when people mess with the blower for this!! The temp control of your A/c system decides required blower speed at any setting

[@fulldakait1408]

Your stoobidity in allowing blower at full blast is iconic

[@vasudevan2022]

What is that blak rectangle piece on front grill?

So wait, front 12 Volt port and USB port is inside the cooled box? How am I going to connect the cable in this case? Keep the cooled box a bit open for the cable to pass?

There is a USB port infact 2 USB ports Type A and Type C and wireless charger outside behind the gear shifter.

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 - my wife's height is ~5 ft 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?)

Major drawback driver knee hit the dashboard Iam 5’ 11 " if i push the seat back its difficult to reach the pedals especially the clutch pedal to the full its very difficult.. ur elbow hits in the center storage area when u change the gears 😢 .. Other than this this car is awesome .. .
