One is a midsize SUV with plenty of new features, while the other is a popular compact SUV that offers a “complete package”

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.

Keeping this in mind, let's explore how the 2023 Harrier justifies its premium pricing in terms of features and not only its size.

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.
