What Are The Pros And Cons Of Tata Harrier Diesel?

The pros or advantages of Tata Harrier diesel are:

  • Best-in-class ground clearance of 205mm
  • The only car in its segment with official mileage figures and a diesel-automatic powertrain
  • Gets features like multiple drive modes and terrain modes
  • Automatic transmission is available in all variants except in XT and XE variants
  • Choice of 4 unique interior themes — regular, Dark, Kaziranga and Jet
  • Choice of getting the fairly loaded XZ variant without the sunroof

The Tata Harrier diesel has the following shortcomings or problems:

  • Overpriced XM and XT variants and stripped XE and XM variants; in fact, over the base XE variant, none of the higher trims justify the incremental cost with features
  • No petrol engine option
  • Multi-terrain modes in a front-wheel drive, monocoque car has questionable efficacy and usability
  • Missing features like 360-degree camera, head-up display, rear defogger, TPMS and ADAS
  • Including the dark, dual-tone and Kaziranga, there are just too many variants, which could create a lot of confusion for a potential customer

What Is The Price Of Tata Harrier Diesel Variants?

The Tata Harrier is available in 5 main variants — XE, XM, XT, XZ and XZ Plus. all of these variants are available with a diesel-manual powertrain. In addition, the Harrier also gets variants like Dark, dual-tone and Kaziranga with exclusive cosmetic features. These are otherwise based on one of the main variants. The ex-showroom prices of the 2022 Tata Harrier diesel-manual range start at Rs. 14.53 lakh and go up to Rs. 20.47 lakh.

Except for the XE and XT variants, all other variants get the option of a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission as well. The automatic transmission is Rs. 1.30 lakh more expensive than similarly equipped manual transmission variants. Only the XZ Plus Dark automatic is a little more expensive and costs about Rs. 1.35 lakh more than the XZA Plus Dark manual. The Harrier automatic variants cost between Rs. 17.23 lakh and Rs. 21.81 lakh.

Tata Harrier Diesel XE - Base Model Features & Review

The base XE variant of the Tata Harrier diesel costs Rs. 14.70 lakh (ex-showroom) and is only available with a manual transmission. The most notable features of the Harrier XE are:

  • Halogen reflector headlamps
  • All power windows
  • Dual-function DRLs
  • 16-inch steel wheels
  • Tilt and telescopic steering
  • Front armrest
  • Electronic stability control
  • Hill start assist
  • Traction control
  • Internally-adjustable outside mirrors

For the price and segment of the Harrier, the base variant is missing several must-have features like:

  • Touchscreen music system
  • Fog lamps
  • Projector headlamps
  • Steering-mounted controls
  • Power mirrors (must-have for a wide car)
  • Height adjustable driver seat
  • Auto AC
  • Remote central locking
  • Split rear seatback

With so many features missing in the base XE variant of a car, we can’t recommend anyone to buy this variant. It’s even more disappointing to see that a car costing Rs. 14.70 lakh (ex-showroom) is missing these features.

Tata Harrier Diesel XE vs XM Variant - Price, Feature Comparison

The XM variant costs Rs. 16.10 lakh and it’s Rs. 1.40 lakh more expensive than the base model. With the automatic, the XM costs Rs. 17.40 lakh (ex-showroom). For the additional cost, it adds the following notable features:

  • 7-inch touchscreen
  • Steering-mounted controls
  • Height-adjustable driver seat
  • Remote central locking
  • Follow me headlamps
  • Rear washer wiper
  • Power mirrors
  • Projector headlamps
  • Fog lamps

While it offers some must-have and some good-to-have features, it still doesn't offer following features we expect from a Rs. 16.0 lakh SUV:

  • Android Auto
  • Apple Carplay
  • Cruise control
  • Alloy wheels
  • Rear armrest
  • Auto AC
  • Keyless entry with push-button start/stop
  • Rear camera
  • Small sunroof
  • Split rear seatback

Considering the Rs. 1.40 lakh price gap, the list of additional features is too short while also missing several features. So, we can’t recommend the XM variant either for Harrier manual as well as automatic buyers. This is also the most affordable Harrier variant with an automatic transmission. The XMA is Rs. 1.30 lakh more expensive than the XM diesel-manual powertrain. This price gap between the manual and automatic variants is consistent across all variants of the Harrier and it’s a bit higher than the usual Rs. 1.0 lakh we have come to expect for TC, CVT and DCT automatics.

Tata Harrier Diesel XM vs XMS Variant - Price, Feature Comparison

The Tata Harrier XMS variant is the next in line with an ex-showroom price of Rs. 17.21 lakh with the manual and Rs. 18.51 lakh with the automatic. This variant is Rs. 1.11 lakh pricier than the lower XM variant.

Even in this variant, you may miss features like:

  • Cruise control
  • Aitp AC
  • Alloy wheels
  • Rear armrest
  • Keyless entry with push-button start/stop
  • Split rear seatback

The XMS variant mostly gets good-to-have features and it better justifies the incremental price gap over the lower variants because of some of these high-value features. It doesn’t have several must-have features. So, for better feature balance, you should consider a higher variant. However, if you’re interested in an affordable variant of the Harrier, then we can safely recommend the XMS variant as it at least offers a good value for money.

If you don’t care about a sunroof, then the XT is a decent option, although it is not available with the automatic transmission. The XT Plus variant is also a good option for buyers who want a balanced feature set without spending too much money for the XZ or XZ Plus variant. On the value front, the XT Plus is on par with the XMS. The XT Plus variant earns our top recommendation because of its balanced features and high value-for-money score.

Tata Harrier Diesel XT Plus vs XZ, XZS & XZ Plus Variant - Price, Feature Comparison

The Harrier XZ variant costs Rs. 60,000 more over the XT Plus with an ex-showroom price of Rs. 18.80 lakh with the manual and Rs. 20.10 lakh with the automatic.

The XZS costs Rs. 1.20 lakh more than the XZ and the XZ Plus adds another Rs. 40,000 to the ex-showroom price tag of the XZS variant.

The XZS variant adds the following features over the XZ:

  • Auto-dimming inside mirror
  • Power driver seat
  • Panoramic sunroof

The XZ Plus offers the following additional features over the XZS:

  • Ventilated front seats
  • Machined alloy wheels
  • Telematics

Most of these features are good-to-have. But the asking price is reasonable for these features. It’s worth noting that the XZ variant doesn’t get the sunroof, which is available in the XZS variant. The XZ variant is suitable for buyers who want a richer ownership experience without a sunroof. In terms of value for money, the XZ variant justifies about 80% of the incremental cost over the base variant with the extra features.

The XZS and XZ Plus are better in this regard because of the panoramic sunroof, which is a high-value feature. Both of these justify about 90% of the incremental cost over the XE variant with the additional features.

Tata Harrier Diesel XZ Plus vs Dark, Kaziranga, Jet Edition Variants - Price, Feature Comparison

Besides the top-spec XZ Plus variant, the Harrier is also available with some cosmetic variants which get style and some functional features. The XZ Plus Dark Edition, Kaziranga and Jet Edition variants cost Rs. 21,000, Rs. 36,000 and Rs. 50,000 more than the standard XZ Plus variant, respectively.

The special edition variants add style features, which you can decide if you want or not and make the purchase decision accordingly. Only the Jet variant adds some functional and safety features, which allow it to offer better value than the Dark and Kaziranga variants.

It’s worth noting that spending a little more cash can get you the Safari Jet Edition 6-seat, which offers 3-row seating, larger body, better road presence, captain seats in second row, ventilation and larger 18-inch alloys. It more than justifies the Rs. 55,000 price gap over the Harrier Jet Edition and is a better option than the Harrier Jet.

Watch the following video to know more about the exclusive features of the Harrier and Safari Jet Edition variants and our buying recommendations for the same:

Which Variant Of The Tata Harrier Diesel Should You Buy?

The XE base and XM variants miss out on so many must-have features that you’ll end up compromising greatly on the ownership experience. On top of that, the XM variant even offers the worst value for money among all Harrier variants.

Because of the panoramic sunroof, the XMS variant justifies the incremental cost over the lower 2 variants. So, if you’re on a tight budget, then you should consider at least buying the XMS variant.

From there, the XT is suitable for buyers who don’t want the sunroof but prefer a more functional cabin and are willing to compromise a little bit of the value front. However, the XT Plus variant offers the best balance of value, style and other functional features and it earns our top recommendation.

Similar to the XT, the XZ is the variant to buy if you don’t want the sunroof. Meanwhile, the XZS and XZ Plus variants offer better value for money. But between these 2, we’ll suggest getting the XZ Plus variant for some of its exclusive upmarket features like ventilated front seats and machined alloy wheels.

The XZ Plus Dark and Kaziranga variants are mainly cosmetic upgrades. So, you should decide for yourself, which one is most suitable for you. But if you are considering the Jet Edition variant, then you should also consider spending Rs. 55,000 more and getting the Safari Jet Edition instead. It offers a few extra features along with 3-row seating and better road presence while getting the other Jet-exclusive features. The upgrade to Safari Jet will give you better value for money too as it more than justifies the Rs. 55,000 price jump over the Harrier Jet.

But if you can, then the XT Plus is our top recommendation. The XZA is the only variant with the automatic transmission, which offers functional and safety features without the sunroof and it’s worth considering. Although the XZA Plus is a better option for buyers who want high-end features.

Among the special edition variants, the Harrier Jet automatic buyers should consider jumping to the Safari Jet for better value for money, style, road presence and features.

What Are The Engine Specifications Of The Tata Harrier Diesel?

The Harrier is a D-segment SUV with 2-row of seating. It competes with the Mahindra XUV700 5-seat and MG Hector. The Hector also has a 2.0L diesel engine, which makes the same power and torque output with similar mileage figures too, with the manual transmission. So, the Harrier beats it with the option of an automatic transmission.

The Tata Harrier’s other rival is the Mahindra XUV700, which has a 2.2L turbo diesel engine available with 2 performance versions in different variants. In lower variants, the XUV700 diesel makes slightly lower power output than the Harrier but about the same tortuqe. This 155PS version of the XUV700 diesel only gets a manual transmission.

The more powerful version of the XUV700 diesel makes a higher 185PS of power and a considerably higher 420Nm of torque with the manual transmission. With the automatic, this engine makes an ever higher 450Nm of torque. While we don’t know the efficiency numbers of the XUV700 diesel, for a D-segment diesel SUV, it has on par performance with its 155PS engine and considerably better performance with the 185PS version.

What Are The Dimensions Of The Tata Harrier?

The Tata Harrier is the shortest in its class but also the widest. All 3 cars have about the same wheelbase. While the Harrier has a segment-best 205mm ground clearance it has the smallest fuel tank in its class, which can carry 10 litres less fuel than the Hector and XUV700 5-seat.

Just like the mileage figures, Mahindra haven’t revealed the ground clearance and boot space numbers either. They could be less than stellar for this segment but until we get official figures, we can’t comment on them. With the information we have right now, it looks like the Harrier has the credentials to offer imposing road presence.

    One of the best articles on the net with regards to the Harrier. If its not a bother for you, I need a piece of advice (as I a little bit confused with all the options :) ) My budget is around 25 Lakhs (family of 5) and I want an automatic variant, which would be best fit for me.

    Very Crisp and Articulated Article. I am not sure why this in not getting on top results on Google. The info is very useful and the comparo tables are even better then what TATA officially manages on their catalogues. Gives a perspective to the buyer in a shot. Well done !!
