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 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class

Pros

  • Plush ride quality
  • Sophisticated looks makes it stand out
  • The cabin is very spacious and well designed

Cons

  • The Gearbox is not so responsive
  • The AMG trim is pricey
  • Rear Seat Legroom Could Be Better

Verdict

The Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class offers an exceptionally plush ride, with a cabin that has been redesigned to align with its more upscale siblings. Perfectly sized and positioned for the Indian entry-level premium market, it provides a harmonious blend of luxury and practicality. Despite the general upward trend in vehicle prices over recent years, the GLA-Class maintains an attractive price point. Its introduction is a significant and welcome enhancement to India's entry-level premium segment, promising a blend of comfort, style, and prestige.
