So, what is a real unique buying principle to go for a Harrier. This question is not to talk negative about the Harrier, but a honest one, if I would want to buy it. Is it just a Heart over Head Case to spend this amount of money on Harrier ? OR is there something to it which I am not aware off.

Swami

Let me try to answer this as I am just about to take delivery of top end xza+ camo edition harrier.

You are comparing muv or people carrier with a proper Suv. Innova can never traverse bad roads the way harrier or even nexon or tiago does.

Whilst waiting for harrier I had to do mumbai Ratnagiri (Ganpatipule) trip. For those who are not aware.. This route is on old mumbai goa road which is under construction since many years.

I completed 350 kms trip in tiago in 7.5 hrs. Pretty sure this would not have been possible in Innova as you need to slow down for each pothole.

So apart from looks its the nature of the car. The beast is just made for Indian roads. Additionally you have to compromise on lot of gadgets and safety features for mid variant Innova due its horrible pricing. Harrier or in general all tata cars are take anywhere.. Yes there may be a niggle or 2 but they will rarely let you stranded due to mechanical issues. (This is based on my first hand experience of tiago 3 year ownership)

On a different note, I am about to take delivery of Harrier top end xza+ camo edition. I completed pdi in stockyard and both car and tyres are of Late December manufacturing. However tyres are Apollo Apterra HP.

Need help as not sure if these are good compared to bridgestones. Else will go for tyre swap.

Also to all who have taken Harrier delivery recently, what tyres did the car come with?

I would like to know how helpful a TPMS would be and also which brands to go for.

I am assuming you are buying the top end version? If yes, then there are not much accessories you can add apart from dash cam and tpms. If not, what is the the trim of your car?

Bridgestone tyres were discontinued from Nov 2019 and replaced with Apterra HP, all Harriers manufactured after Nov 2019 have Apollo tyres.
IMO, the tyres are good and I dont have any complaints with mine.

Congratulations on your purchase, My Harrier came with Apollo Apterra H/P tyres. I personally find them way too silent. Add the fact that there is no engine noise & good sound proofing, and You get a quiet cabin. Too much for my liking.

My car is a week old and has done nearly 2k kilometers and the tyres have been awesome. But too quiet, so i am itching to change them to continental A/T. Let me know if you too plan to change and what brand.

I never expected the Harrier to have so much space in the back to enable 4 people to sit and play cards!

Congratulations on both the Team-BHP approval as well as the beauty Red - DT. I would have definitely purchased this same combo had it been available at the time. It looks gorgeous!

Mine is December 2019 XZ Dual Tone and it came with Goodyears. I wanted to ask if any of you have upgraded your tyres to A/T? Kindly advise.

My car is October 2019 manufactured and came with Goodyears. Have done my fair share of highway runs and some offroading too. So far so good.

Update:

After 3 weeks & 3000kms later, I am happy to share that we are doing well. It would be too early to pass judgement, but so far its been good:

Pandit ji's stamp of approval, Done!


Happy wife, Happy life


Does not look that bad in white

Great to hear this after reading your pre-sales experience! Wishing you lakhs of trouble free kilometers and memorable time with your Harrier.

So far in my car purchase, the first criteria is always that my car can be any colour except white. But the Harrier in its XE and XM trim, with all de-chroming, de-glossing and steel wheels, carries a very sophisticated bohemian aura for me. Its as if the car knows it needs no embellishments to announce itself, it just knows it is flair on wheels!

Is anybody getting deliveries this month? People at Pune worrying a waiting time in excess of 2 months for the dual tone white+black xta.
Had gone with a friend who wanted to book, but was put off by the lackadaisical attitude of the staff.
For the last month, he's been hounding them and it's almost as if they are not interested.

If his booking is with Bafna motors tell him to cancel it immediately and go with a different dealer. The long wait is a dealership problem not a TATA one.

Just saw an advert on Tata Harrier/Winter Series released by Tata Motors. I suspect launch of some additional feature/AWD is on the cards.

Wow! IMO! Winter series has definitely something to do with AWD/ 4×4 ! What else can one think; all wheel independent suspension, rear discs ... ?

Congratulations for the new purchase!

I am really anxious to know about the mod you have promised to share to solve the problem of the left knee rubbing the plastic panel while the use of the clutch pedal.

During my test drive, my left leg was constantly rubbing the plastic panel and it really put me off. I don't mind chopping off the protruding plastic with a saw.

Awaiting advice as I am planning to book the Safari MT asap.
