Tata Harrier vs Tata Nexon Comparison

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.”

Tata fixed the dated interior of the previous generation and fitted in some class-leading screens and premium materials on the current Nexon. Its exterior styling makes it look like a much larger, more expensive SUV on the road as well. Although the touch-sensitive controls require a learning curve, and the petrol engine lacks the refinement of its Korean rivals, the safety suite is what makes this car so practical for families. Moreover, the diesel variant is the undisputed one for interstate highway cruises.

Seshan summarises,

“I have known owners who have hardly faced many issues with their Nexon and are quite happy with their purchase.”
