I was interested to buy a Harrier, but I am having 2nd opinion after enquiring about the SUV with a friend, who recently bought one and facing engine problems. He said the problem started (within 3 weeks!) with steering vibration which was resolved by dealer. The other issue is engine sound inside cabin. He said, that typical old diesel car knocking sound comes during pickup, (after gear shift). Can anyone please explain how a brand new premium SUV (built on Range Rover platform), the show-piece car of TATA Motors, can have such problems?

5k done Agreed on noisy cabin if someone is harsh on accelator pedal. But if someone is gentle it's more silent as other 2.0 diesel engines. Ride quality is buttery smooth no niggles yet. Mileage in city 13 to 14 kmpl and on highways above 18 kmpl. Routine updates from TML makes this car even more user friendly.

It's been three months since Im driving the harrier and after driving around 7000kms here are the issues with the vehicle - engine noise is quite loud at lower rpms , clutch sounds when I shift gears, steering vibration and sounds of loose parts coming from the dash board which never happened in my earlier cars(vw polo/Honda city). Not quite a good experience for me so far. Needs more improvement . However the seating comfort is something other cars don't offer in this price segment

I drove 8000kms. No engine issue till now. Cabin engine noise is a bit high, but only when you accelerate at around 100kmph in sports mode. Engine could have been tuned even finer. But that's a trade off we need to make for rest of the things about the car are wonderful. Adjusting seat to counter the blindspot on the right due to huge A pillar and huge ORVM is one more issue I found with the car.
