Thanks buddy, but I'm just a bit curious as to how much it could cost. If I go that side, I'll check for sure. The Safari has my heart but the white seats are keeping me away, for now. OCD to blame

Hi I recently changed my booking from Altroz I turbo to Harrier XT+. Can anyone post pics of Harrier XT /XT+. Wanted to see how the alloy wheels look, Also a couple of interior pics would be really helpful, because I have not seen any photos online of the seats and material. All pics are of top end XZ+ only. Thanks in advance.

Hi All

I have a 6.5 year old Renault Duster with 80k on odo and I am now looking to replace it. I am still loving the Duster but got really bored of the horrible interiors and dashboard.

I feel spoilt by Renault and looks like Harrier is the only practical replacement at the moment because of the space available.

I checked out Seltos and felt rear seat space and under thigh support were far too less. Also, although the numbers for bootspace are quite similar, Harrier boot looked a lot a bigger in person. I hate the looks of new creta and didn't even check it out. So Seltos and Creta were outright rejected by my wife and I and we didn't even TD them. I am yet to test drive Harrier because dealership only has automatic for test drive. I don't want to test drive something which I am not buying at all. I Will check with other dealership if they have the manual TD vehicle available.

I have the budget for XM but seems XT strikes the right balance and I may have to stretch the budget by almost 2 lakhs. I am also a little apprehensive about Tata after sales service.

Now by posting here, I am hoping for some guidance on :

1. should I replace the Duster with Harrier or wait for more options or launches in next few months. Is there anything coming up in less than 20 lakh window?
2. Is it worth going for XZ over XT? Is XT the VFM variant?
3. How is the ride quality on harrier on highway and not so good roads. I am fine it's anywhere close to Duster.
4. Tata?

There is no replacement options for Diesel Duster in the 20 lakh range coming up either. The Duster or its cousins Captur or Kicks don't sell well and don't have diesel option. The Isuzu D-MAX V-Cross that is coming up is also the old version and not the international or South East Asian model. The Kia Seltos and Hyundai Creta cannot give the ride and handling finesse of the well defined Duster. The Hyundai Tucson is still one generation older and is tad expensive too. Due to the fall of Mahindra Ford joint venture, not sure how the new generation XUV 500 is gonna look like. What remains is the Harrier or Safari based on the LR like platform. Apart from the quality of interiors (not so premium to my liking) they are both good options. My long test drive on Harrier gave me the feeling, that the car may not be as nimble and agile like a duster but is a pretty planted and stable vehicle on road, goes through bad patches with least discomfort and is a capable SUV at 20 lakhs range.

Hi, My Manual Harrier is a gem, it's two weeks old. My daily commute being a doctor is a mumbai crawl daily with two round trips on the sea link.
I love the 2020 Harrier, especially my sun roof for the light it emits. This is a driver's car , I had to actually relearn how to shift gears on it, but once you do it's absolutely thrilling.
All the niggles have all been ironed out. I can say this because I've test driven the 2019 version and also the automatic.
I waited to test drive the Safari manual and automatic before booking my Harrier. Mine is a family of three and this car ticks all my boxes.
Hope all this is of help to you.
P.S Since the harrier isn't very common in Mumbai , that element also makes me feel really good.
Cheers!

Hi! I moved from a ~1.80L kms driven Duster to a Harrier XZ in November 2019. The car has done about 39,000 kms (all self-driven) till date and have had no issues yet. The car is superior to Duster in everyway other than the ride quality department, where both the cars are IMO equivalent. The Harrier glides on highways and bad roads alike with good handling. If you need a car in this genre for primarily highway drives, I would suggest the Harrier, but if city driving is the primary concern then MG Hector deserves a look as well.

Coming back to the Harrier, the XT is definitely a VFM as compared to the XZ if the comparison today holds true as what it was in end 2019. I would though certainly advice giving the AT a look if your budget permits, as the heavy clutch can get exhausting if you're stuck in a traffic jam. It's not an event that might happen regularly, but can exhaust you when it happens. This holds true for all the cars in this genre.

I think the only car to be launched in the near future in this genre is the new XUV5OO, which would probably remain a 7 seater and the comparison would then be with Safari, unless Mahindra surprises everyone and launches a 5 seater XUV4OO.

Thanks for your response.
Frankly, I don't really see any other option in 15-20 Lakhs. The car is a segment above Duster and Duster has horrible horrible interiors, so I am expecting most of the things to be better while hoping the ride quality to be close.
Most of my driving is highways and expressways and a visit to my village twice or thrice an year. I stay in Panchkula and Chandigarh tricity has good and wide roads with not as much traffic. Also I am a fan of manual transmissions. So MT works just fine for me.

I am tempted to consider Safari too but wondering if a couple of seats are worth a 100 or so kg extra weight and hence lesser performance.

The XZ variant is atleast 2 segments above the Duster. I too am a fan of MT, but had got stuck in 2 bad jams on the highway and that made me think about AT being a better option if the budget permits. I've heard that the AT is good as well. The performance reviews of the Safari are pretty good.

I own a Harrier XZA+. Following are the advantages I saw with respect to duster

1. Modern and Safer platform ( not tested but as it derived from LRD8 hope it will hold its legacy )
2 . Loaded Safety features : 14 ESP modes and 6 air bag options
3. Spacious
4. Torquey and Bigger engine
5. Interiors
6. Looks

Hi everyone! Looking to replace my Duster CVT with Harrier XZA+. I have been talking to KHT at Domlur (Bangalore) but I am not certain I want to go ahead with them. A family member recently picked up a Tiago and did not have a very good purchase experience, a lot of miscommunication and false promises on delivery dates and unnecessary extensions. They do not seem straightforward, a lot of back and forth, they also refused his request to do a PDI before registration claiming it’s not part of their internal process. The delivery however was smooth and the Tiago is doing fine but in my head, I definitely want to do a PDI before the car goes for registration just for my satisfaction, especially since this is my most expensive car purchase yet. Any recent owners here with similar experiences? How is Prerana Motors? Any sales ref contacts I can get in touch with there?

Every 15k kms is a proper service with an oil change. In between at 7.5k there is no oil change and is more of a preventative checkup and maintenance kind of service.

[Dieseltuned]

To all existing Harrier owners,

A few items to check ::

1. Is the head unit display laggy and are the frequent hang issues still there in the updated Harrier ?

2. What is the real world mileage of the Harrier ? in city ? on Highway ?

3. Any updates on Tata's service experience especially in Bombay ?
