Tata have priced harrier reasonably good. But they could have priced it very well. The incoming MG hector which is rumoured to be priced par with harrier will possess serious threat to tata. It has a much better interior fit and finish and features than harrier.
Some cost cutting i noted in tata harrier:
1. Noise insulation
2. Inconsistency of interior panels and some plastic quality especially door pads and steering horn pad
3. No hydraulic bonnet lift
4. Engine bay is not fully cladded with plastics( seems like they have removed some )
5. No rear disc
6. Not feature loaded
7. No multi link suspension.
If MG comes anywhere under 21 lakhs otr for manual variant tata harrier will be drowned. Chineese manufacturer will be agressive in pricing.
Lets see how tata responds if manual hector is launched under 21 lakhs.
And i started to love hector . I like its touchscreen and more importantly connectivity features. And their ads are really good and tempting.
on the other hand , Tata is playing some kind of soulless ad in this IPL season
