Hyundai Alcazar vs Tata Harrier: which should you buy?
The Tata Harrier starts at ₹12.89L against the Hyundai Alcazar's ₹14.51L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.62L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹21.10L, where the Alcazar tops out. Past that only the Harrier has anything left to sell you, up to ₹25.95L.
Only one of them takes the whole party: the Alcazar seats 7, the Harrier 5.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹21.10L to both showrooms and you come out with the Alcazar Signature (Diesel) at ₹21.10L or the Harrier Fearless X at ₹20.00L, the Harrier leaving ₹1.10L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.10L more for the Alcazar Signature (Diesel): ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)), blind spot monitor and second-row captain seats. The useful extras on top: hill descent control and rear ventilated seats. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Hyundai Alcazar seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- The Harrier swallows the most luggage at 445 litres
- The Harrier Fearless X is the strongest of the two at 170 PS
- Also on the Alcazar Signature (Diesel): powered driver seat (8-way against 6-way), terrain modes, auto-folding wing mirrors and third-row AC vents, and some minor trim beyond that
- Choose the Tata Harrier Fearless X if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.10L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Alcazar Signature (Diesel) if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
