Both Tata and Mahindra are global
giants when it comes to making all-round utility vehicles of any kind which by
no means excludes top-class SUVs, which are the respective companies’ forte to
say the least. These companies have pioneered best-in-class SUVs consistently
and the Harrier and XUV500 are among their pinnacle creations. Here’s a
detailed comparative between the two on various features:
1. Engine & Transmission:
Tata Harrier
The Harrier is powered by a 2L
4-cylinder diesel engine. Tata Harrier fuel tank capacity is 50L with a decent fuel
economy of 17kmpl. The transmission is a 6-speed one with only manual
transmission available. The machine provides a laudable max power of 103kW at
3750prm and a max torque of 350Nm at 1750-2500rpm.
Mahindra XUV500
This car is available in both
petrol and diesel variants, with a 2.2 L mHawk 4-cyclinder 2.2 Turbocharged and
a mHawk155 Diesel engine(eVGT) in the petrol and diesel models respectively. It
gives a slightly lower fuel economy with 13-16km/L but compensates with a
larger fuel tank of 70L. The transmission has both automatic and manual options
available with a max power of 140hp at 4500rpm and max torque of 320Nm at
2000-3000rpm.
2. Architecture and size
Tata Harrier
The dimensions of the car are 4598x1894x1706 (length x width x height in mm). It has
a wheelbase of 2741mm and a ground clearance of 205mm which is perfect for
large speed-breakers on city roads or other tumultuous off-road experiences. It
also has ample boot space of 425L which increases to as much as 810L with its
rear seats folded. With disc brakes in the front and drum ones in the rear and
independent and semi-independent suspensions in the front and back
respectively, handling this heavyweight becomes a piece of cake!

Mahindra XUV500
The dimensions
of the XUV500 are 4585x1890x1785(L x W x H in mm), which makes it slightly
taller in height than the harrier. It has independent suspensions on both ends
unlike the harrier with Anti-Roll Bar. The brakes types are also different
here, with the rear end also having disk brakes. The XUV500 has similar ground
clearance at 200mm but stands at a disadvantage with a much lower boot space of
93L.
3. The looks:
Tata Harrier
The Harrier perfectly sports the
combination of orange (or any other variation), silver and black from the
dual-toned front to the perfect incorporation of the silver chin guard and also
the uniquely designed honeycomb-like grille. The high shoulder line, sleek
spoiler and 3D LED taillamps are eye-catchers. The HID projector headlamps and
the five spoked alloy wheels give an overall streamlined look to the car.
Mahindra XUV500
The XUV500 is the physical manifestation of
ideas like style and agility. The projector headlamps up front with the LED
DRLs provide the space for the new grille to shine through whilst maintaining
its majestic presence. The new diamond cut alloy wheels, the innovative black
accents beside the grille and the styling on the vertical door handles seem to
go in perfect unison.
