The recently updated Tata Harrier not only offers functional advantages over the MG Hector, but also comes with some impressive features inside and out.
When the Tata Harrier was launched in 2019, it directly competed with the MG Hector. While the MG SUV was known for its extensive features (which got even better with a recent update), Tata has upped its game with the Harrier facelift. In fact, the Tata SUV now offers some unique features that set it apart from the Hector. Let’s take a closer look at these features:
Dual-zone AC
-
The Harrier now offers dual-zone climate control, a feature that is being introduced for the first time.
-
This comfort and convenience feature is available in the higher-spec Fearless variants of the SUV.
-
The Harrier Fearless trim starts at Rs 22.99 lakh.
7 Airbags
- The Harrier now comes with 7 airbags, making it the first Tata car to offer this feature.
- It includes a driver-side knee airbag and 6 standard airbags, giving it an advantage over the MG Hector.
- The Fearless+ variants of the SUV, priced from Rs 24.49 lakh, offer this safety feature.

10-speaker Music System
-
The Harrier now boasts a 10-speaker JBL sound system, which includes 5 speakers, 4 tweeters, and 1 subwoofer.
-
The MG SUV, on the other hand, offers an 8-speaker Infinity music system.
A Bigger Driver’s Display
-
The Harrier now features a bigger 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, which also shows map navigation on the entire screen.
-
This convenience feature is usually seen in luxury cars.

The new Harrier is equipped with the larger instrument cluster from the Pure trim, which starts at Rs 16.99 lakh.

Memory Function For Driver’s Seat
-
The Harrier and the MG Hector both come with a 6-way powered driver seat. However, the Harrier has the advantage of a memory function for the driver’s seat, which allows the driver to save up to 3 preferred driving positions.
-
This feature is available from the Fearless trim onwards.
Diesel-automatic Option
-
The Harrier has had one major advantage over the Hector for a long time, which is its diesel-automatic combination with a 6-speed transmission, something the Hector lacks.
- This is despite the fact that both SUVs are powered by the same 2.0-liter diesel engine with 170PS and 350Nm of torque.
-
Tata offers this combination from the mid-spec Pure+ variant onwards, with automatic variants of the Harrier starting from Rs 19.99 lakh.
-
The Harrier is priced from Rs 15.49 lakh to Rs 27.34 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Like the MG Hector, it offers premium features such as a large touchscreen, ADAS, leatherette upholstery, and significant road presence.
