After months of writing my first impressions of the Tata harrier, I finally got to take it out on a little test ride. It was a relatively small ride but it was enough to make me not want to give it a second thought. Let me explain why..
So, as I had mentioned in my previous post, I was totally floored by how the Tata Harrier looked. I loved how butch it looked, the bold new design, the LED's on the bonnette and the main headlights being part of the bumper, the humongous tires, the interiors and almost everything about the car was very impressive. I just couldn't wait to get my hands on the car and yesterday was finally the day.
It is said that beauty is only skin deep and I feel it kind of applies very well in case of the Harrier. Its a great looking car no doubt but only after you drive it will you know how unrefined the car actually is. It took me a while to get the driving position right and after I did, I could feel the unease from the moment I put it into first and started to drive it. Then engined felt extremely laborious. There was a lot of noise creeping into the cabin which was quite unnerving and most importantly the A pillar and the huge rear view mirrors kept coming in the way when I want to take a right turn. I didnt like the hand break and also the storage space near the hand break which didnt have a push button life. I just didn't like it one bit and was waiting to get out of it.
I drive a Hyundai Creta and by far I think its one of the best car there is. Im not being partial towards it because I own one. The sheer number of Creta's on the road is testimony of the fact that it is just the perfect little SUV. The cabin feels rich and its so quite in spite of it being a diesel engine. There is ample amount of power when you need it and its not too large and neither is it too small and its extremely easy to drive. It was introduced with the tag line of "The perfect SUV" and I feel Hyundai just nailed it. Nothing seems to be able to come anywhere close to how good this car is. Most importantly, mind you the Creta just had a face lift and the version 2.0 is yet to come. If they can maintain keep everything like the current creta and design it in a much futuristic way, I dont think anything can ever beat it.
Anyways I digress from what I initially started off saying. I didn't like the Tata Harrier one bit. The Tata buzzard which is a 7 seater version of the current Harrier is also around the corner. The design once again looks spot on but I hope the engineers at Tata do something to the noise insulation and the slightly sluggish performance. The 19L on road price for the Tata Harrier seems way to steep. Just waiting to see the sales figures. The Jeep Compass was a runaway success but it fell flat suddenly. Tata Harrier may also face the same problem. Lets see.
I wish I took some photos of the interior to add in this article but like I said. I just wanted to get out and get back in my Creta.
I'll keep doing more of these reviews. Stay tuned for more.
