The owner starts by saying that luxury sedans are not meant for Mumbai. The condition of the roads are very bad and every time, some issue was coming in the car. As it started showing problems frequently, it became hard for the owner to maintain and he finally decided to sell his A6 sedan.

After selling the A6, he started looking for an SUV or a rugged looking vehicle which can handle all the rough roads and is suitable for Indian conditions. He had MG Hector, Kia Seltos and Tata Harrier in his list. He talked to many and talked about his requirements which helped him narrow down to Harrier.
