Under the hood, the new Harrier petrol is powered by Tata’s 1.5-litre TGDi turbo-petrol engine, delivering 168 bhp of power and 280 Nm of peak torque. The engine comes mated to a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed torque-converter automatic, giving customers flexibility in their driving experience.
This TGDi petrol engine is a part of Tata’s in-house Hyperion series—first seen on models like the Tata Sierra—with tuning tailored specifically for the Harrier to suit SUV dynamics and everyday usability.
The petrol Harrier doesn’t skimp on features, and many of the highlights seen in the diesel models carry over, including:
- A 14.5-inch Neo QLED touchscreen infotainment system
- Dolby Atmos sound system
- Panoramic sunroof
- Ventilated front seats
- Digital IRVM with integrated dual dashcam
- Advanced driver aids and safety tech
Safety remains a priority, with the Harrier petrol receiving a five-star Bharat NCAP rating across its variants, affirming the SUV’s strong crash protection credentials.
The Harrier Petrol is offered in a wide range of variants to cater to different buyers—from value-oriented trims to more feature-loaded and premium versions. These include trims like Smart, Pure X, Adventure X, Adventure X Plus, Fearless X, Fearless Ultra, and special editions like the Red Dark and Ultra Red Dark editions.
This variety ensures that buyers can choose configurations that match their budget and preferences, whether they prioritise value, comfort, or a more premium SUV experience.
