Jeep Compass vs Tata Harrier: which should you buy?
The Tata Harrier starts at ₹12.89L against the Jeep Compass's ₹17.99L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹5.10L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹25.95L, where the Harrier tops out. Past that only the Compass has anything left to sell you, up to ₹30.70L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Compass comes in diesel, the Harrier in petrol and diesel.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹25.95L to both showrooms and you come out with the Compass Longitude (O2) at ₹25.70L or the Harrier Fearless Ultra at ₹25.95L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.25L more for the Harrier Fearless Ultra: level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (10.25" against 10.1") and 8-way powered driver seat. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Harrier Fearless Ultra: JBL premium sound system, ventilated front seats, drive modes and ISOFIX child seat anchorages, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Harrier Fearless Ultra, you give up frequency-selective dampers and auto-folding wing mirrors, which the Compass Longitude (O2) keeps
- Choose the Jeep Compass Longitude (O2) if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.25L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Tata Harrier Fearless Ultra if
- You live on your phone in the car and want the screens to keep up
