Tata Harrier expected price
The petrol engine would help in reducing the starting price of the Harrier. The anticipated starting price of the Tata Harrier petrol variant in India is approximately ₹13–14 lakh (ex-showroom), which is marginally lower than the existing diesel price range of about ₹14 lakh to ₹25.25 lakh. With this pricing strategy and the introduction of a new engine, Tata Motors aims to enhance the Harrier’s standing in the mid-size SUV market, providing consumers with a more sophisticated petrol option while maintaining the vehicle's features and visual appeal.

Tata Harrier to share its engine with Sierra
At the core of the Harrier petrol lies a completely new 1.5-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine from Tata’s "Hyperion" series. This is the same engine that made its debut on the Sierra recently. This powertrain is equipped with high-pressure gasoline direct injection, an aluminium engine block that reduces weight while enhancing stiffness, and a water-cooled variable-geometry turbocharger. Additionally, the engine features dual cam phasing, a variable oil pump, an integrated exhaust manifold within the cylinder head, and a maintenance-free timing chain and valve train engineered for longevity and reduced ownership costs.
Regarding performance, this 1.5-litre engine is rated at approximately 168–170 bhp (around 170 hp) at roughly 5,000 rpm, producing peak torque of about 280 Nm within the 2,000-3,500 rpm range.
Both manual and automatic transmission options are anticipated. The automatic transmission would be a torque converter unit. The manual gearbox will be a 6-speed unit.
Tata Harrier Petrol updates
The petrol Harrier will maintain its existing design. Within the cabin, the SUV will include a sizable touchscreen infotainment system, a digital driver display, a 360-degree camera, and a Level-2 ADAS safety suite. Consequently, the petrol variant will align with the diesel's features and provide an equally compelling attraction.
