Pros Cons of Tata Harrier

Pros

  • The new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine
  • The 14.5-inch touchscreen
  • JBL Dolby Atmos audio system
  • Excellent ride quality on all road surfaces

Cons

  • The touch-sensitive climate control panel
  • No AWD or 4x4 option
  • The massive width hinders city parking

Verdict

With the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol motor, Tata has fixed its biggest shortcoming and made the Harrier accessible to a much wider audience now. Its suspension feels robust as ever, the massive rear-seat space is segment-leading, and the five-star rating means it can handle most of whatever challenging Indian road conditions throw at it. The distracting HVAC controls and inconsistent service standards at service centers can bother some,but for the most part, the Harrier’s toughness and loaded tech kit will overshadow everything else.

Seshan sums up the car,

“This new petrol engine fits the Harrier well. If you were on the fence purely because it was diesel-only, it now deserves a serious look.”

  • Spacious seven-seat layout
  • Bold road presence
  • Comfortable highway cruiser

Cons

  • Interior design feels dated
  • Transmission is clunky and not silky smooth

Verdict

The Mahindra XUV500 stands out by offering a spacious seven-seater layout, strong diesel performance and comfortable highway dynamics at a competitive price. Its bold styling, that punchy diesel engine up front, and the generous cabin space fundamentally redefined buyer expectations for the segment. Even today, the SUV continues to offer a strong combination of performance, practicality and road presence.

A close look at the Mahindra XUV500 makes it clear. Fresh competitors bring flashier gadgets these days, but the XUV500 holds its own right where it counts for most folks hunting for an SUV.

Overall, Mahindra XUV500 still delivers a strong mix of performance, space, and long-distance comfort.
