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 😮😢
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
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?
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?
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.
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
This facelift has made Harrier the best in segment (5 seater SUV) The more I drive Harrier, the more I like it. Excellent machine. Well planted on highways
@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.
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?!
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
Well presented and covered all the aspects in the presentation, pretty well. No un-necessary chirping and fiddling, which others do in their presentation.
@@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!
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.
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?
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 ❤️
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
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.
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 :(
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
@@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
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 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
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.
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.
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..
