Tata Harrier

As Harrier is available only in Diesel - so strikingly pretty different having below Pros and Cons

• Not only Powerful - you will love in Experience of driving XUV700 in both city and Highway. For all practical reasons if you care combination of Performance and Comfort in one SUV - yes its XUV700 (although for buyers who have maximum City use will prefer Hector more, and for those who seek maximum highway will prefer Harrier) but mid way for those having mix usage will love XUV700
• Stylish, Feature Loaded, Performance, Comfort - you have XUV700 as ideal buy
