The growing segment of mid-size SUVs have put the manufacturers introducing new products and we have already seen Jeep Compass, Hyundai Creta and the newly launched MG Hector and upcoming Kia Seltos.
With the growing competition, Tata Harrier which made its mark in January 2019, was an instant bestseller and have been beating the sales of Mahindra XUV500 and Jeep Compass by a good margin. Tata Harrier sports a new design and premium features, however, the option of Sunroof was always a disadvantage among its rivals.
