Go for the Kia Seltos Diesel Automatic GTX. For a 10-year ownership plan with predominantly highway usage, the Kia Seltos is the safer long-term bet. The Tata Harrier is the more powerful and rugged SUV, and it feels more planted on the highway, but Tata still has some way to go in terms of consistency in electricals, service experience and small niggles over a decade of ownership.The Seltos diesel is a proven package, the GTX is a well-equipped variant, and Kia’s service network and ownership experience are more consistent over the long term. The Seltos is also a very capable highway car, and the diesel engine is well suited to long-distance touring. The Harrier is the better choice if you absolutely prioritise size, road presence and ruggedness, but for a 10-year ownership plan, the Kia car mentioned above is the more sensible and dependable choice.

With 500km a week, you are well above the threshold where DPF becomes a concern. The DPF is designed to capture soot from the exhaust and then burn it off during a process called regeneration. This regeneration typically happens automatically when the engine reaches operating temperature and is held there for a sustained period, usually during a 15-20 minute drive at steady speeds. Your weekly running is more than sufficient for this.You do not need to drive the car every day. What matters is that the car gets regular runs where the engine is warm and running at a consistent speed. Short, stop-start city trips are what cause issues, not the frequency of use. As long as your usage includes some highway or longer stretches, the DPF will regenerate as intended.In real-world experience, modern Diesel cars are far less fussy about DPF than people fear. The issues tend to arise only with very low-mileage, purely urban cars. With your usage, the Tata Harrier Adventure X Diesel AT is a perfectly sensible choice. It is a strong, refined engine with good long-distance capability, and the automatic gearbox is well suited to both city and highway driving.The Harrier is also the right choice from a proportion and feel perspective. The Tata Safari is a good car, but if you do not need the third row, the Harrier is the more balanced and better-looking option.Go for the Harrier diesel without hesitation. Your usage is exactly what modern diesels are designed for.

Your Tata Harrier is powered by the same 2.0 diesel engine as the Jeep Compass; however, while the Harrier gets a 6-speed torque converter, the Jeep uses a 9-speeder which isn't as responsive as the Tata's.Sure, the Compass is a more premium-feeling SUV with a better-finished cabin and a more compact footprint, which can be helpful in the city. However, it is not significantly more refined or easier to live with than the Harrier, and even spare and maintenance costs for the Compass are higher than average.Given that your Harrier is a 2022 model with 45,000 km, and the Compass is also a 2022 model with 30,000 km, the swap only makes sense if you are getting a very favourable financial deal. Otherwise, you are merely exchanging one diesel SUV for another.
