2023 Tata Harrier Facelift Or Recently Revised 2023 Kia Seltos: Which One Should You Choose?

Tata recently launched the 2023 Harrier facelift with an updated design, revamped interior, and plenty of new features. However, if you want a slightly smaller SUV that’s also feature-loaded and has good looks, the Kia Seltos comes into the equation. Yes, the Harrier is a midsize SUV, while the Kia Seltos is a compact SUV. However, some variants of both models are similarly priced. Let's compare these two vehicles, including their pricing with specifications and features.

Price

Official pricing for the 2023 Harrier facelift is revealed with on-road prices of top-spec Fearless+ trim in automatic transmission variant going upwards of Rs 30 lakh. Keeping this in mind, let's explore how the 2023 Harrier justifies its premium pricing in terms of features and not only its size.

Dimensions

Considering that the 2023 Tata Harrier is a midsize SUV, it is bigger in every aspect. With its larger height, width, and generous wheelbase it offers a more spacious cabin experience compared to the Seltos. It also boasts a slightly larger boot space, but not by much.

Features

Both the cars come loaded to the gills with features that should satisfy your requirements. However, it must be noted that the 2023 Harrier inches ahead with additional features like gesture-enabled powered tailgate and an extra knee airbag. On the other hand, the Seltos packs a head-up display that isn’t offered with the Tata. 

Powertrains

Kia offers multiple powertrain and transmission choices for the 2023 Seltos, including a turbo-petrol and naturally aspirated petrol engines, paired with their respective transmission options.In contrast, the 2023 Harrier is only available with a single diesel powertrain option, that’s more powerful than the Seltos’ powertrains, offering both manual and automatic transmissions.

Conclusion

With the 2023 facelift, the Tata Harrier now offers a feature-packed cabin similar to the Kia Seltos. If you prioritise a larger form factor and bigger size, the Harrier will be the choice. On the other hand, if you seek more powertrain and transmission options along with a feature-rich cabin, the Seltos is worth considering. Summing up, though, both have quite a lot going for them, so irrespective of the model you pick, you won’t go wrong.
