Very nice video. You described all aspects of the vehicle nicely. Also your selection of words to describe a particular situation are very good! Most importantly while describing you were driving. A lot auto reviewers forget to drive the vehicle. I personally prefer seeing the reviewer drive it and then explain each point. Excellent work!
Very honest review, after a lot of contemplation and months of Internet study booked my harrier automatic today. Upgrading from swift dzire and hoping to have good time ahead :)
I have seen a lot of tata harrier videos.. I must say this is the best one... Your observations are amazing and POV drive is a delight to watch... I hope you get millions of subscriber and views.. you deserve it.
That was a good video, thanks for uploading it. You explained the pros and cons of the car quite well. Your narration style is nice to hear - cool and composed instead of hurried and repetitive (like most vloggers out there, unfortunately). Keep 'em coming!
Very nicely done video. Gives a good idea of what to really expect from the Tata Harrier especially where different types of road conditions are concerned. I too want to buy the car but the reliability concerns are keeping me away at the moment.
@@shantanusrivastava5019 suspension would have to go through a immense amount of pressure and steering rack will also suffer may be your bum will not feel enough but your car will + small rocks crashing on paint + its a Tata so expect some rattles
Watching your videos for a while now and I really appreciate the honest perspective you bring to the table as opposed to just regurgitating spec sheet and adding no value, as most TH-cam reviewed do. You’ve earned a subscriber. Keep it up!
Very nice review dude, you right driving dynamic s is what matters. And more important especially on an suv ment for long drives and in different terrains . Only one area you could have elaborated more was the 4 lane drive experience and high speed performance of Harrier
@@tapanpal7526 Hi, My experience has been 7/10 with Mychoize. Their cars are usually good, but there have been 1-2 instances where the car wasn't clean. However, all cars that I rented were mechanically sound.
What a great video and I just loved the way you talked us through the entire episode.. it comes out so naturally... I bit the bullet and bought a Harrier in July 21, and I totally agree with what you say about it being a perfect vehicle to road trip in India.. I've taken two road trips so far, and am looking forward to taking quite a few more in the coming year..... Overall its a tremendous feeling and does (in my humble opinion) has great road presence too... I chose the Auto over the Manual due fact that you need it in a city like Mumbai, but I wish I had the manual whenever I've been out on road trips....especially on the hills.... Once again great video - simple, nice and most importantly an honest review.... Look forward to seeing more of your videos....
Hi Deepak, Thanks a lot for your kind words and big congratulations on buying the Harrier! I have heard nothing but praises for the AT and it definitely makes more sense if you live in Mumbai! Wish you a lot of fun (and safe) trips in the Harrier :)
@@deepakjohar2992 Unfortunately, no. I am still new to this world and I am only able to review cars which are available to rent. I haven't been able to find a platform that rents it yet. And Happy New Year to you and your family too! Have a safe one:)
By far the best driving-capability review of Harrier, on TH-cam. Would like to know the difference of manual and automatic transmission of Harrier on these hilly roads, if you had a chance to experience.
Hi, I have also heard that the dashboard design fouls with the knee for some people depending on how you position yourself while driving. Fortunately, I have a laid back driving position so I did not face this issue. However, I'd recommend you to try it out on a long test drive. In showroom evaluation could be inaccurate and a long drive would give a much better picture. PS: I hope you are evaluating and not facing this after the purchase, inc which case you'll have to adjust your driving position a bit:)
@@road_not_taken yes I am just evaluating and I am really not happy with this problem at this price point. Will take it for test drive and then reevaluate.
I have also driven the harrier and jeep compass from my choice cars. Thanks to them I got opportunity to drive cars I cannot afford. The steering wheel of the compass is really amazing. Harrier and Innova in my opinion have the most exhausting steering wheels I have experienced.
Agree, I also find these platforms really helpful for us enthusiasts. The steering of the Compass is definitely better but somehow I got used to the Harrier's steering wheel. I have driven hydraulic steering wheels all my life and this felt very similar :)
Very well put together review. Helps a lot. I am looking to buy the Automatic Harrier however am a bit unsure if a new facelift is on the way or not. Some channels mention about a Q1 2022 update being on the way. Any clarity on that would be very helpful.
Hi Oliver, I have also read a bit about the Harrier facelift. There are also a lot of new features mentioned like the ADAS. Here is my suggestion: 1. If you plan to buy the top variant, buy the current generation as most of the niggles have been sorted out. But you can wait for end of year discounts though. 2. If you plan to buy the base/middle variants (without fancy features), wait for the facelift as they shouldn't have niggles from the early batches. 3. If you want the new features like ADAS, please wait it out at least for 8-12 months. A new Tata with fancy electronics is too much risk. I hope this helps:)
@@road_not_taken Thanks for your advise. I intend to buy the XZA variant ( automatic, no sunroof ) . I think based on your advise I will proceed to book it within Dec. thanks once again.
Absolutely spot on review. Most people call bad roads as off road in India. If anything, Harrier is a bad roader. I wanted to buy Force Gurkha, but ended up buying harrier simply because of family-practicality. If only Force Gurkha came with 5 str and 5 doors!..Sometimes one has to submit to the needs of the family!
Hi Sounak, I totally understand the feeling. I'd have loved to own the Thar, but we are a family of 5 and travel with decent luggage, so Thar is out of contention. However, you have got an excellent car in the Harrier. Off-roading aside, it is one of the best cars to travel around the country :)
Congratulations Swastik! You are getting one of the best mechanical packages! Please follow the Pre-Delivery Inspection religiously while taking the delivery :)
Haha...agree with the feedback. I have spent time working on this piece and you should see improvements in the Fortuner review and other videos going forward.
Always feel really good to listen from you.. I m a Seltos htx petrol owner was really interesting in harrier & my mom was even more.. when we watched commercials but they put it with FWD.. well thats not the way SUVs are defined.. yes AWD or 4×4 would have made it to old safari level... But putting FWD in SUV is cruelty.. hope some day Tata decided to make our wishlist true.. but until then it is as capable on those uphills as creta seltos or any new competition..
@@road_not_taken but i would anyday buy harrier over jeep or mg.. hope it get all sales numbers from them & then apne Tata wale agree to release AWD or 4×4 variant
You have driven xuv 300 , I have a strange question,how is the ride quality compared to harrier. As I had driven both of them, I found them pretty similar, little bit stiff, what's your take
Hi Kaif, Interesting question :) Ride quality is a relative term and depends on the other cars that you are comparing with. What is your daily driver, or point of reference for this? For me the XUV300's ride was better than my Ford EcoSport. However, the Harrier's ride was great compared to most vehicles I had driven including the XUV300. It rides better than the Compass that feels very stiff at low speeds (
Kaif ohh nice. The XUV300, as I said in the review rides better compared to the others in the segment and has an amazing set of engines. The Duster 4wd had better suspension than the standard Duster and ride quality was sublime. I haven't come across a better riding car in the sub 20 lac segment. The Harrier has similar ride at some speeds, which is why I really like it :)
Dear for a" DRIVER " no drive modes not the size of vehicle matters ! The uphill struggle which u showed is normal for any vehicle when we stop n proceed. Plz remember there are few draw back of "FRONT WHEEL" drive. Plz enjoy the good vehicle at lower price provided by TATA for we INDIAN'S. Foreign manufacturers charge price of 30*40 plot land size .

The best part about ur channel is the lack of music. The calm narration and pacing. No gimmick or nonsense.
Thanks a lot for your kind words :) I’m glad you liked it, and that you've seen other videos as well 🙂
Exactly the kind of review we expect from suvs not the city or smooth roads generally available. Amazing work
Thanks a lot for your kind words:)
Awesome review!! All the datapoints are very relevant, crisp, practical n helpful. Helped me choose this beast! Thanks.

Hi,
Congratulations! Wish you lacs of fun and safe miles with the Harrier! And do take it on road trips - it is built for these:)
During 4:10 when the tyre was skiting. Pull the hand brake little bit not much and the tyre won't skit and car will move forward.

How it will damage the car if to much accelerate?? Please explain

What a video dude! Totally unexpected to see such level of detail and quality. Good going!

One of the best review of the Harrier. Much better than several auto experts, so called.

Great video buddy...have booked dark edition ...even when xuv 700 is on all threads
I also loved the Harrier and it'll be very hard for XUV700 to convince me otherwise:)
@@road_not_taken true .... also the more packing of features simply means more expenses on maintenance
great video.

Thank you sir for this review its really good to know that how this car is actually works in practical situation
