The SUV craze has grown exponentially in the last few years and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the Tata Harrier is one of them. Getting such a robust, safe and feature-loaded vehicle within a budget of ₹1 3 to ₹25 lakh is a real luxury experience.

When you first see the Harrier, it feels different, stands out on the road, and attracts attention. Large in size, but not heavy to drive. Plenty of space for the family, and nowhere is it lacking in appearance.

In the 2025 model, Tata has also given the option of a petrol engine, which was not there before. ADAS Level 2+ means the car itself recognizes some things on the road; Neo QLED screen and Dolby Atmos sound system are hard to find in any other car at this price point. And a 5-star safety rating with 7 airbags means there is no compromise on family safety.

In short, even though the budget is moderate, the car feels premium; this is the true strength of the Harrier.
