In terms of size, the Hector, XUV700 and Harrier are by far the largest here followed by the Compass. The Seltos and Creta are the smallest SUVs here though they do sit half a segment below the Tata and MG. The XUV700 is the longest SUV here, although, it shares its wheelbase with the Hector. Both SUVs are longer and taller than the Harrier though the latter is the widest here. The Seltos and Creta have the smallest wheelbase though the former is marginally wider and taller than its Korean sibling.

Tata has made no adjustments to the engine line-up with the familiar 2.0-litre diesel carried forward from the outgoing Harrier. The same Fiat-sourced unit is also featured in the Hector and the Jeep Compass where it offers identical output. The XUV700 gets the most powerful diesel engine here, developing 14 bhp more and up to 100 Nm of additional torque. The Compass does get the advantage of a proper 4x4 system though the XUV too offers all-wheel drive on top variants. A 6-speed manual is par for the course – the Seltos gets a clutch-pedal-less iMT gearbox – though the Jeep has the advantage of a 9-speed unit when it comes to the automatic gearboxes.

MG Hector Shine

Hector is longer than the Harrier and sits on a longer wheelbase though uses the same engine.

 

The Seltos, Creta, XUV700, Compass and Hector all come with petrol engine options though we did not consider the same in this comparison as the Harrier is diesel only.
