Competition
Lastly, competition is what matters a lot. Harrier receives competition from Jeep Compass, Mahindra XUV 500 and Hyundai Creta.
For the Jeep Compass, you will have to stretch out a bit extra. But the size and specs put it in the same league. Compass offers more off-roading features and dynamics than Harrier.
XUV 500 fits as an ideal competitor, because of a similar pricing. XUV 500 also comes with a similar feature list with an exception of Electric Sunroof, which Harrier does not get. It also offers AWD powertrain in the top-end variant.
Hyundai Creta falls a bit short in the pricing range when compared to Tata Harrier. Creta also offers a similar feature list, but some additional segment first features to give it an edge.
