Pros Cons of Tata Harrier

Pros

  • The new design is bold and eye-catching, particularly with the addition of the Sunlit Yellow color exclusive to the Fearless trim.
  • It comes loaded with tech features like a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a 10-speaker JBL sound system.
  • Safety has been enhanced with 6 airbags, ADAS features, and standard electronic stability control, making it a well-rounded package for its segment.

Cons

  • The electronic parking brake can be cumbersome, especially in the manual variant, where it automatically engages and can disrupt driving flow in traffic.
  • No significant changes to the engine, which means performance remains the same with noticeable turbo lag at lower revs.
  • Some issues with feature execution, such as the sunroof mechanism and a lack of USB-C ports, slightly detract from the premium feel.

Verdict

The 2023 Tata Harrier Facelift brings substantial upgrades in style, technology, and safety, offering a more premium experience than its predecessor. While there are some minor inconveniences in functionality, the overall package remains strong, making it a compelling choice for buyers seeking a stylish, tech-savvy SUV in the mid-size segment.

Pros Cons of Kia Carnival

Pros

  • Captain Seats In Limousine Variant Is A Must Buy
  • Great Ride Quality
  • Diesel-Automatic Combination Is Great

Cons

  • Poor Safety On Lower Variants
  • Low Ground Clearance
  • 9-Seater Variant Offers Little Practicality

Verdict

The Carnival comes to India as a Completely Knocked Down kit, and while it has all the makings of a benchmark MPV, its higher price tag and the fact that Kia is still a relatively new brand is making a lot of MPV buyers shy away from the product. That said, it is undoubtedly a solid product and if you are out looking for a large, premium, chauffeur-driven vehicle, that can also double up as a family car or maybe a workplace on wheels, then you must consider the Kia Carnival.
