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 Volkswagen Polo

Pros

  • TSI technology boosts performance
  • The petrol engine is efficient
  • Driving dynamics remain unchanged and that’s a big plus

Cons

  • Design remains unchanged
  • A Diesel engine could have been advantageous as it opens up to a new set of buyers
  • There are no new features on the car

Verdict

The Polo remains at the top of the table when it comes to driving experience in the premium hatchback segment. Volkswagen have got everything right with the car but the addition of features would have been helpful.
