Tata Harrier, Safari Petrol unveiled: New features, more power than Sierra!

Tata Motors has expanded the powertrain choices for the Harrier and Safari by introducing a new turbo-petrol option. The two SUVs now get the 1.5-litre Hyperion turbo-petrol engine, which made its debut recently in the Sierra.

However, the state of tune is different for these SUVs.The new petrol engine develops 170 PS and 280 Nm of torque. With this addition, the Harrier and Safari now cater to buyers who prefer petrol power, especially as demand for petrol SUVs continues to grow in the market.Along with the new engine, Tata has also introduced several feature upgrades across the range. Both SUVs now come with a large 14.5-inch Samsung QLED infotainment touchscreen, paired with Dolby Atmos sound tuning and a 10-speaker JBL audio system.

The system also supports Tata’s Arcade App Suite and navigation that continues to work even without network connectivity.

Some features from the Harrier EV have also made their way to the petrol-powered Harrier and Safari. These include a digital interior rear-view mirror with an integrated dash camera, front and rear camera washers as part of the 360-degree camera setup, memory-based ORVMs, and a sliding front armrest.

In terms of design, the petrol versions remain visually identical to their diesel counterparts. There are no exterior or interior styling changes to set them apart, with Tata offering the same variant structure across both fuel options. The Harrier petrol is available in Smart, Pure X, Pure X Dark, Adventure, Adventure X Dark, Fearless X, and Fearless X Dark trims.The Safari petrol follows a similar approach, with variants including Smart, Pure, Pure X Dark, Adventure X+, Adventure X+ Dark, Accomplished X, Accomplished X+, Accomplished X+ Dark, Accomplished X Stealth, Accomplished X Ultra and Accomplished X Red Dark.
