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.”

Pros Cons of Skoda Octavia

Pros

  • Punchy Engine
  • Performance
  • Well-Appointed Cabin

Cons

  • Low Ground Clearance
  • Expensive
  • Low Sales

Verdict

The new-generation Skoda Octavia is better in so many ways than its predecessor. There's a concentrated effort on making comfort a priority and everything feels from a segment above. In fact, it's so much better that we believe it will eat into the share of Superb buyers. The new Octavia is such a good car on its own that it leaves you with a beaming smile behind the wheel. In the land dominated by crossovers, the new Skoda Octavia is a solid reminder of the traditional sedan's beauty.
