Compared to the Jeep Compass, the Tata Harrier has slightly larger numbers across all areas. The Harrier is taller, wider, and longer than the Jeep Compass. The Harrier even has a longer wheelbase and a higher ground clearance than the Compass. Regarding boot space, once again, the Harrier gains the upper hand with seven more litres of volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Harrier is 200 mm longer than the Compass, which helps the Harrier project a larger road presence, especially viewed from the side. Inside, the longer body helps it give more legroom to the people in the second row. The 104 mm extra width the Harrier has over the Compass makes sure that it can fit 3 people in the second row comfortably, which is a boon for 5 people sharing a car on a long road trip. For the taller people out there, the Harrier\u2019s roof is 78 mm higher than the Compass, so they do not have to worry about their heads touching the roof constantly or taking a bump to their heads whenever the car takes a bump. The extra wheelbase helps with better stability during cornering, while more ground clearance is one of the most important features a car needs to have to tackle the uneven roads of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, while the Compass may be smaller in size when it stands next to the Harrier, if we look at it objectively, there\u2019s not much to complain about. The Harrier makes sense for people wanting every inch (or rather mm) of extra space inside as they can. But the Compass is an adequately sized midsize SUV for the average Joe. If you fancy the Compass more, its dimensions are decent enough to not become dealbreakers of any sort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, the choice comes down to spaciousness versus manoeuvrability. The Tata Harrier gives you that extra space for a more comfortable experience sitting inside it. The Compass, on the other hand, is easier to handle and drive in city streets and parking lots.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n Parameter<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> Tata Harrier<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> Jeep Compass<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr> Engine options<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> 2.0-litre Kryotec Turbocharged Diesel<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> 2.0-litre Multijet II Diesel<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr> Transmission options<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> 6-speed Manual 6-speed AMT (TC)<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> 6-speed Manual 9-speed AMT (TC)<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr> Power<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> 170 PS<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> 174 PS<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr> Torque (Nm)<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> 350 Nm<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> 350 Nm<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr> Mileage<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> 14.6 to 16.8 km\/l<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td> 16.2 to 17.1 km\/l<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n An engine is one of the most important parts of a car. Hence, the engine of a car should play a big part when we check out a new car or even a used car. In this case, the two midsize SUVs both require a powerful motor to make sure that there\u2019s plenty of grunt to move the big car and the people inside as hastily as needed. Thankfully, both the Tata Harrier and the Jeep Compass have nailed the performance area well. Moreover, the engines of the two cars here are pretty evenly matched, so you\u2019ll be fine with either one you choose to go with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both the Harrier and the Compass come with the same 2.0-litre multijet diesel engine with a turbocharger feeding dense air for more power. The Harrier\u2019s Kryotec motor makes 170 PS, while the Jeep Compass manages to squeeze 174 PS from the engine. Moreover, the two cars even stand close to each other in the kerb weight section, with the Harrier weighing 1655 kg and the Compass only 5 kg lighter. The torque figures are identical, with both cars powering the wheels with the might of 350 Nm. Therefore, the power-to-weight ratio is nearly indistinguishable between both SUVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both SUVs offer a 6-speed manual if you like a more hands-on experience. For those who want their left hand to be on the steering wheel more, there\u2019s an automatic, too. Both SUVs offer a torque converter. While the Harrier comes with a 6-speed, the Compass offers a 9-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another crucial feature for most buyers is the mileage of a car. The Tata Harrier claims ARAI mileage of 14.6 to 16.8 km\/l. In this case, the Jeep has a leg up (albeit slightly) with a claimed ARAI mileage of 16.2 to 17.1 km\/l. However, the actual mileage depends on how the driver handles the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since both SUVs share the same engine, the choice between the two comes down to the transmission offered and the small difference in their fuel efficiency. Hence, the buyer\u2019s preference takes the lead in terms of the final choice.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n |
