This is how a car should be reviewed, another great review!
Hi Pranav, thanks for your compliments. Glad you enjoyed my review. Regards !
@@KKCOnAMotive need a longterm review of your kia seltos
Brilliant review! This is how cars are to be reviewed. The special focus on the driving aspects is 👍🏻
Hi Aditya, Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video and liked my style of reviewing. Regards!
Great review buddy! You've got a new follower. I have driven harrier ( XT plus MT 2021 Feb) for at least 40,000 kms. The Cons I would like to recapitulate for potential buyers.
1. Visibility is an issue, You'll get used to it after a while. Go for front parking sensors as an Accessory from TATA.
2. Steering is super sensitive at high speeds. Needs a bit more weight
3. Rear suspension is a little bumpy as compared to Safari (but not as bumpy as Fortuner 😄)
4. Buy the AT instead of MT, the left knee touches the Dashboard if the seat is adjusted other than its lowest settings.
5. Audio system other than the top variants is very average
6. The touchscreen needs significant improvements
7. The NVH levels are good (Comparing it to my Fortuner AT)
8. Steering makes groaning noise when steered fully, It is due to the Pressure of the steering pump (But I didn't like it being a 25lakh car )
9. The AC console has an irritating rattling sound, But it isn't there all the time so I ignore it. Didn't want my dashboard dismantled so ignored it. (It is with my vehicle only)
8. The car pulls left. Even after multiple alignments. But the good thing is the tires are in good condition despite the left pull.
9. The cold starts sounds like a tractor
10. The lights are very average, Had to upgrade my foglamps to Bi-Xenon projectors.
But everything vanishes when you start driving the vehicle, It's a mile muncher. I would suggest waiting if they launch something new for the harrier and the safari in the upcoming Auto expo 2023. Cheers !
Thanks Sushant for your appreciation towards my content & the subscription to the channel. Also thanks for sharing your thoughts and review. Best Regards !
A good professional grade review, Karan!!
Thanks for your appreciation.
Namaste sir, more than on ur video I'm really fond of ur voice sir 👍.
Thanks for the compliment Niranjan.
This is a complete and comprehensive review!! Superr
Hi Vinit, thanks for your appreciation. Regards!
The infotainment system, Rear camera, no rear wheels discs brakes, buggy software.....are some of the major aspects Tata seriously needs to work upon to present harrier as its flagship car.....
Thanks for this detailed review ... Like it !
Thanks RONN !
Great as usual
Thanks BALBIR !
Fantastic review with no nonsense !! Very professional 👏
Thanks Praveen for the appreciation.
The way u explain things make a buyer make his decision on the spot tysm sir for giving us such an awsome explanation nd such an awsome videos really Tysm sir
Hi Gautam, thanks. Good to know that you found my style of reviewing cars convincing. Regards!
Extremely informative and a great video as always !
Thanks Kiara, as a owner of a Discovery Sport this video would have been interesting for you indeed. Regards !
Lot of indepth explanation on technical aspects which was not even explained in autocar india review. Really appreciate your exploration and knowledge transfer. This really how one needs to explain. Please keep this differentiation sir from other review channels. Really felt impressed which I couldn't find anyone explaining.
Hi Bhargav, thanks for your appreciation and compliments. Regards !
We bought it as a replacement to our aging Civic! Dad loves it but Damn, Its *HUGE!*
Hi Abinash, good to have an Harrier owner comment on the video. Thanks.
Amazing detailed review !
Thanks Ramya !
Another professional grade review 👍
Thanks for your compliments Chirag.
You are a Great reviewer. Professional grade. None like this exist in the Indian context. Keep up the good work.
Hi NARENDRA, thanks for your motivating comments. Regards !
Sorry got a little late. But indeed you are setting a benchmark in terms of true, unbiased reviews and user experiences and this is a great help for the potential buyers to think through.

Great review
Thanks Aditya.
Nice technical and detailed review..a must watch I must say for people who are actually planning to buy this great Indian product.
Thanks Ashwin.
@KKC On A-Motive : I was realy waiting for a review from yourside, I would count on your review. I find your reviews more trustworthy. Keep up the good work. I wish you could upload more frequently.
Hi Aditya, thanks ! Glad you find my content trustworthy. I mostly film/review only those cars i can recommend, however il try my best to bring more videos. Regards !
Ah finally car insights 🔥 good Find
Thanks !
Karan paaji .... ❤️ Always loved your reviews. To the point & all about cars...
Thanks Vivek !
Superb analysis 👍
Thanks !
Superb review!! No nonsense! Major Go!
Thanks Vivek for your appreciation.
@@KKCOnAMotive Thanks for reply Karan. Just 1 quick question, Shall i buy this over Kia Seltos diesel automatic variant ?
@@vivekmalkan6326 - I personally wanted to buy the Harrier last year at launch but unfortunately the detuned engine felt restricted and didnt impress me let alone the other niggles of the car. Plus an A/T was missing so finally waited for the Kia & picked the Seltos GTX+ DCT. Being a Turbo Petrol DCT it is a very engaging product i also like all the features both the cars offer but the Kia has an edge in overall kit levels & finesse. Harrier has its advantages like the LR genetics, space and an overall more SUV like feel. Between the 2 Diesel A/T id pick the Harrier A/T as its more powerful & offers more car per buck. But one can pick according to the personal preference, needs. All the best. Regards !
Very informative video..
Hi Aquib, Thanks!
Perfect review and a must watch for the people who are considering to buy a Tata Harrier 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for your appreciation Karshini. Regards!
Excellent review Karan. I've read all your reviews on team BHP as I'm a member too.
I dare say this is one of the better video reviews of Harrier. Keep them coming!
Hi Rufus, thanks.. Always appreciate a fellow BHPian commenting on TH-cam. Thanks !
Brilliant review!!
Thanks Ravikumar.
As always informative and enjoyable video brother 👍👍👍
Thanks ARJUN for your appreciation.
Greetings Karan, fellow Bhpian this side. Another fantastic one man! Right to the point which is your style and is always well appreciated.
Take a bow for your research of the gearbox used in Harrier 🙇♂️!
Hi Ranvir, thanks. Good to have a BHPian commenting on TH-cam. Btw, just posted this video and made a post in the TEAMBHP official review thread, do share your thoughts there too. Yes, the research on finding the gearbox took time but was worth it. Regards!
What a review. Please review the manual also
Hi Harsh, Thanks. For my thoughts on the manual variant, check this post;

Clean review .. nice
Thanks Abhinav.
Awesome review Karan 👍. Throughly enjoyed it. Some insider info on the parts sourcing (GB and rear suspension) by TML for this project was an added bonus for this video 😊
Hi Satyen, thanks. Glad you enjoyed my review & all the research which went into making this video. Regards !
I have been watching your reviews, you must be an automobile engineer,even international car reviewers don't present like you ,keep it up
Vekeyes, thanks for your kind appreciation. I am from a Science background (BSc. Chemistry) then a Plastic Engg. Diploma & finally topped up with an MBA in Marketing. Not an automobile engineer, the videos are technical thanks to the passion and viewers/subscribers like you who keep motivating me with such comments which help me in delivering such content. Thanks for your support. Regards !
Fantastic review sir......I'm willing to meet you sir....❣
Thanks Prajwal. You are welcome. Regards!
Love your reviews. Sir please make a video on tata nexon diesel facelift please sir
Apex, ive already reviewed the Tata Nexon (Diesel) here;
th-cam.com/video/fRvJBslo2oQ/w-d-xo.html
^ Though its of the pre-facelift model it covers everything much in detail which will help you in your buy decision of the facelift Nexon Diesel.
All the best, Regards !
Diwali wishes in a form of video🔥🔥
Once again a great review sir
Yes RAGUL, this video indeed was planned for a Diwali release. Thanks. Regards!
@@KKCOnAMotive 🔥🔥🔥
Once again a great review for people who are more interested in the driving dynamics of the car. Sir I am seriously impressed by the efforts you put in to make sure what you say is very helpful for real car people.
Have been watching your videos since the fortuner one and I wish you keep doing the great work. ❤️
Thanks for your kind appreciation Gunapreetham.
Great Review Brother!
Thanks Hunk !
Hi Karan, fantastic review as always, the best part about your reviews is the GB, chassis and engine origin you talk about. That's something that needs a lot of research and work and something 99% people don't know about, even enthusiasts !
The Lotus rear suspension thing was brilliant !
Hi Umang, thanks for appreciating my research & analysis which went into making this video. Regards !
Finally some one who has real knowledge and done his homework , good review
Ram, thanks for your appreciation.
@@KKCOnAMotive one more thing what's your view on htk plus diesel auto kia?
@@ramyagya5280 - I personally have bought the Petrol TURBO DCT (GTX+). But I believe the Diesel auto is a great buy too for one who does a lot of touring.
@@KKCOnAMotive yes I saw ur video on dct , thanks again for great info and you are so diffrent and refreshing , the way u speak doesn't look that you are planting bookish knowledge . why don't you scale your channel I am sure you will do wonders
@@ramyagya5280 - Thanks for your compliments & good wishes, Regards!
Nice
Thanks !
Default Like! Thanks! Love to hear your gyan of automobiles history i.e on fiat engines and gearbox used in harrier! 4:45 gearbox is what i was looking! How is it compared DCT seltos wrt up and down shifting!? JBL is better than boss huh!? 😜
Thanks Nithin. Glad you enjoyed the Gearbox segment. Also yes the JBL felt better in my opinion. Regards !
Saw lot of harrier reviews but nothing matches this analysis. Brilliant work
Thanks for your appreciation Ashwani, Regards !
Hi Karan, Great Review as always! Definitely Tata’s has matured their product in 2020. I had driven the earlier harrier (manual) it had some weird electronic problem. Also huge ORVM created a blind spot and it was quite difficult to drive in Mumbai.
Hi Nishant, Thanks. Yes a lot of feedback taken by Tata Motors and changes done are almost worthy of a facelift (which it isn’t).
Great review covering all technical aspects with a buyers point of view...can you do a review of the Hyundai Tucson Diesel 2 WD GLS...
Thanks Ritesh. Well about the Tucson its best to wait for the new gen. Regards !
I purchased Figo just by watching ur review. In drove 3 yrs 120000/-Km, with the same confidence, agility, security, which u suggested. Thank you KKC U r gem Dear.
Hi Anand, good to know that my FIGO video had helped in your buy decision. Thanks for your compliments. Regards !
Very well covered. Excellent. Can you cover Isuze MUX and its 2021 version launch details.
Thanks Rajat. Lets see once the new gen MUX comes in, will try. Regards !
A very good and decent review....in my opinion....the only best thing I liked in Harrier was the front looks... nothing else...👍
Thanks Gregory.
well researched, well balanced review. driver position for manual.. is not comfortable.. should have mentioned.. that.. clutch travel is high.. knee getting stuck is a common issue..
Thanks Makarand. As this was a variant(Automatic) specific review hence did not mention any points of the Manual variant. But thanks for your inputs, Regards!
Why is the infotainment system display flickering ?
👍👍👍👍
Thanks !
Why the TATA's do not give disk brakes for all the four wheels or is it not necessary to have them for the rear wheels. Please clarify on this.
Confused between Creta top automatic vs Harrier automatic ????????
Plz help
Nice Video Sir 👌👌
Pls suggest which one to choose from fortuner 4x4 auto or harrier or compass 4x4 auto or bmw x1 or gla 200d or xc40 or shall i wait for xuv 700?
Thanks
❤️ harrier BEAST ❤️ harrier XMA Auto Base model is batter than creta, seltose top model 💯✔️✔️
Really nice and commendable job. Can you review the renault duster 1.3 turbo petrol manual ?
Thanks Pramit. Honestly the Duster is too old now & even with the new engine I personally wouldn’t recommend as a new gen hasnt been introduced in the market(where as since about 2yrz it’s available globally). Hence no point reviewing as i cant recommend so it will be difficult for me to speak on it. Regards!
@@KKCOnAMotive I understand that. You are right 👍
Hello Karan
You reviewed just perfect 👍
Breaking down the real parameters what an potential owner looks for
Am considering this XZA+ auto for my spouse
Anything I need to look for
Your inputs will help me finalise
Thanks Vikram. Go ahead, but just a suggestion that do check out Safari as well, somehow I prefer its looks over the Harrier (personal preference) and its ride quality too with the added advantage of being more spacious. All the best.
@@KKCOnAMotive
Thanks for your response I will explore the safari
How is regular maintenance cost of harrier/ safari. This would be the 1st diesel vehicle. Coming from 2 decades of owning a petrol honda & hyundai's
Thanks
@@vikramnatarajan2857 I haven’t owned a Tata lately so can’t comment. Best to take extended warranty & expect regular service bills of oil, filters, brake pads etc as and when required or based on wear and tear. Im sure the spares would be priced appropriately.
Great and detailed review.
I bet no one on TH-cam has ever reviewed the automatic transmission the way he has done.
May be this is the difference between normal people and enthusiasts reviewing cars.
You get complete sense from this review how the car should feel while actually driving. I mean who gives info about hydraulic steering wheel and independent suspensions the way he has given.
Hi, thanks for your candid feedback. Really good to have people who can value the information & effort going into the videos. Best Regards !
Nice review Karan. 👍 Coukd you please try to review the new Honda City as well from a driver's perspective.
Hi Shakti, Thanks. Let's see how soon i can make that possible. Regards !
Hi Karan ,
Another BHPian this side
Good review . Loved the swot analysis and the research on Gearbox as this will help the folks not to go for remap as the maximum torque rating is 360 NM . In weakness we can include after sales and constant niggles . I think the fit and finish and other QC issues are due to the manufacturing of Harrier in Pimpri plant rather than in Ranjangaon . Nexon has less issues compared to Harrier
Hi Nitin, thanks. Always good to have BHPians comment on TH-cam. Yes the research on the gearbox took time/effort but was worth it as strangely it wasnt mentioned by anyone yet. Also good point on Pimpri/Ranjangaon manufacturing. Regards !
your research is spot on... nice video. bdw may i know the wrist watch you are wearing?
Hi Salil, thanks. The watch yes, its a Grand Seiko from the Heritage collection. Regards!
Hi Karan! Great car and an even better review! I’d like to ask what watch are you wearing? It looks really good!
Hi Puneet, thanks for the appreciation. The watch yes, its a Grand Seiko from the Heritage collection. Regards!
Kids watch- joker faisal khan.
Legends watch - mr.Kkc 👌🏻
Ultimate review very knowledgeable brother 👌🏻😎
Thanks for your love, support & appreciation Manjyot. Regards!
😂
U can't disrespect anyone
@@madmo3377 faisal is just banging cars and just hard-pressing accelerate... And he doesn't know anything else😂😂 his knowledge is poor
Brother I have seen a video from a Tata harrier automatic owner that there is no way to open the boot from inside in the harrier which makes it inconvenient during mall security checks ! Is it true?
Boot us linked with the Central locking system and so is the fuel lid. So if you unlock the doors, the boot and the fuel lid will also be unlocked and you can press the electro-magnetic button (below tata logo) and open it. So because of this, there is no button inside the cabin to open that.
Hope this helps:)
Should i buy seltos petrol dct or diesel AT ? Or should i extend my budget my budget for harrier xza+ ? Driving is mostly in city with average running of 1000-1200 km.
Superb Analysis sir .
I need one clarification, can we upgrade rear camera sir?
Thanks Nagendra. I am sure there should be way to upgrade the rear camera. All the best !
Now this is how a review should be. The gearbox research shows your depth.
2.6.2008 the date on which TaMo acquired JLR, borne some hopes inside me for an affordable SUV with LR DNA from Tata. They took 10.5 years😀
P.S. I have booked XZ manual a week back !!!
Thanks for your appreciation Ratnadeep. Also congratulations for your booking. Regards!
Hi Karan , Great review !! Can you post a quick compare with seltos and also since you own one . Despite the segment difference anyone buying Harrier does compare both . It will be a great help. Thanks
Hi Manu, i personally wanted to buy the Harrier last year at launch but unfortunately the detuned engine felt restricted and didnt impress me let alone the other niggles of the car. Plus an A/T was missing so finally waited for the Kia & picked the Seltos GT+ A/T. Being a Turbo Petrol DCT it is a very engaging product i also like all the feaures both the cars offer but the Kia has an edge in overall kit levels & finesse. Harrier has its advantages like the LR genetics, space and an overall more SUV like feel. Hence one can pick according to the personal preference, needs.
All the best.
Regards !
@@KKCOnAMotive Thank you Karan for your response and it does help !!
Which will be better car between upcoming harrier petrol and fortuner petrol ? Which one i should prefer !
Both are different segments. However i'd buy such large SUV's in diesel form only. All the best.
harrier review, mba style ;) great review though with good research!
Thanks for your appreciation Sjay.
Karan sir there is a rumour that harrier comes with 1.5 litre 4cylinder turbo petrol engine in 2021.Coming to threats in S W.O.T Analysis the upcoming mahindra xuv500 can also give a tough competition to the harrier
Hi, thats an unfortunate rumour if its true. However yes your point about the upcoming xuv is valid & should have been mentioned in the threats. Bad miss by me. But thanks for pointing it out. Regards!
For me only thing lacking in harrier automatic is the paddle shifters.
True.
So shld go for manual/auto??
Amazing review! I’m finalising the XZA+ Harrier next week.
The infotainment screen seems to be flickering in your review as compared to the Instrument cluster screen.
Was there an issue with this model or is it because of the video recording?
I saw similar screen flickering issues on team-BHP.
Hi Ashish, Thanks !
Well the flicker is not there in real time/life its just there in the video/recording which too is very strange and surprising as it doesnt occur with other cars in my other review videos.
However congratulations on your buy decision & all the best.
Regards !
Nothing to worry about that flickering @ashish. It is due to the difference in the refresh rates of the screen and the video camera. This phenomenon can be also be observed in various other videos too, specially with DRLs.
Apaki hight kitani hai..?
Bhai bhai mein ladai @13:37
Yes !
If it Had zf 8 speed and a AWD then this car compete with bmwx3 , glc ,q5 at half the price , this additions will make car at around 28-30 lakh price but it will boom as mahindra thar did.
At end it is an LR discovery with a spec down version made by tata motors.
Great review as expected 😁
Thanks Poojan. Well even at 30L ex showroom if Tata manage to launch the 2L ingenium with an awd and zf8 it would be great but to make things spicy they should offer in the p300 trim as a performance variant :) lets hope for the best though. Thanks. Regards!
Hey Karan, did you check ICE of Hector?
Heard high about it’s Infinity ICE when compared with Harrier’s JBL.
Hi Gautam, Not sure.
Harrier XZA or Seltod DCT? Whats your take in it?
Finally going for Harrier
Congratulations
@@KKCOnAMotive welcome sir
Brother,
I am planning to buy Tata Harrier XT varient,
How is the Manual Transmission,
Is the Clutch too hard and Clutch travel is very long Travel...
Kindly suggest whether to buy Harrier manual transmission or I should go with Creta
Manual variant i drove in 2019 i believe that time the Harrier had many small teething issues but the clutch wasnt an issue at all, hence go for it.
Ford should learn from this & should get an auto transmission in the eco sport.
Both the cars are different what I mean to say is that auto transmission is the game changer today
You mean Ford Ecosport Diesel A/T, right ? As i already own a Ecosport DCT (1.5 Petrol).
Well can we expect Honda City 5th Gen vTec Manual to have S.W.O.T. analysis
Hey, watched your Seltos DCT review as well. My exact confusion is between Seltos DCt/AT and Harrier XZA+ Drivability, handling and quality is what I am looking for. What would u suggest? More City and less Highway.
More City & less highway then the choice should be the Seltos.
@@KKCOnAMotive thanks! It is the value prop, for 2 lakhs more I get a bigger, bolder and Panoramic sunroof in Harrier.
@@vinaybhoopalam1782 - I can understand. But i too had this confusion hence i picked the Seltos for city as for highway i have other cars (eg. Fortuner). But if you dont have other cars for highway duty then you should buy the Harrier.
@@KKCOnAMotive yes this would be my only car :) and thanks for the clarity. And I thoroughly enjoy the detailing u provide during ur review. Unlike all rhetoric of others, u give details with additional insights. More power to u bro!!! Cheers.
@@vinaybhoopalam1782 - Thanks, all the best.
Do you see the petrol engine being launched anytime soon?
Not sure. Currently Tata motors is busy with the Altroz A/T, then the Gravitas. May be after that the Harrier petrol will be planned. Regards!
Is it the same gearbox as new creta ??
Not sure, but mostly no.
I want to purchase harrier XZ PLUS or XZA PLUS. But will you suggest any other car if I tell you to or Harrier is itself a great choice and I go ahead with it only
Harrier is definitely worth considering. Other options you can consider are thr Kia Seltos D A/T or Creta D A/T (if you dont mind its looks).
Have you reviewed the new thar?
Not yet.
I realy like your review, i think harrier 2 wheel drive is better than jeep compass 4 wheel drive😅,anyway that was my thinking,what is your thinking?
Thanks Vaibhav. Interesting thought i may have to agree with you there. Regards !
Great review Karan. What’s the mileage on this version one can expect?
Thanks. Mileage will surely will be depending on the way you drive & the city conditions but on an average of mixed city & highway driving you can expect around 10-11km/l easily.
Great review. I am planning to buy Harrier XZA + DT in the later half of the year. Most of my driving will be in the city with occasional highway rides. Do you recommend this beast? Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Hi Nandkumar, i think Harrier (or even the Safari) is a great pick but by later half of the year the all new XUV 700 will launch and you should also wait and check that out before finalising.
yah toh range rover evoque lag rahe Tata Brand
Zindagi ho to aesi... Nii toh zinda toh 😂
It's a meaty car n og the best looking. But Interior is bit disappointing. Infotainment display is too small for such huge vehicle. No EB.and host of other features.
how is the rear space????(*
Good enough for this segment. For comparisons sake it is more than the Soltos & Creta. Regards !
