Comment of the day – the3dsgeek – “I really hope they make it properly long so it has good rear legroom and boot space. I am from himachal and I am in a desperate need for a proper 4×4 suv which does not look like a cow shed from inside. Before the launch of harrier I was sure it would be the saviour i was looking for, considering it was supposed to be an upgrade over the discontinued safari and have great off road capability. Not only it didn’t have proper 4×4 system, there wasn’t even an AWD option. Hoping to see a good 4×4 suv which does not cost an arm and a leg.”
