Tata Motors is preparing to add more excitement to its SUV lineup with a major update. The Tata Harrier and Tata Safari petrol engine specs have now been revealed, and this is big news for buyers who prefer petrol-powered SUVs. With this update, Tata is clearly aiming to offer more choices, better performance, and a smoother driving experience.
New 1.5-Litre Hyperion Petrol Engine Details
Both the Tata Harrier Petrol and Tata Safari Petrol will be powered by Tata’s newly developed 1.5-litre Hyperion turbo petrol engine. This engine has been designed to deliver strong performance along with refined driving comfort.
This petrol engine produces 168 bhp of power and 280 Nm of torque, which makes it quite powerful for a mid-size and three-row SUV. Buyers will get the option of a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic transmission, giving flexibility based on driving preference.
As expected, Tata has tuned this engine to be more powerful than the same unit used in the Tata Sierra. In the Sierra, this engine delivers 158 bhp and 255 Nm, but in the Harrier and Safari, it offers higher power and torque. This means better pickup, smoother highway cruising, and more confidence while overtaking.

The Tata Harrier Petrol will be offered in a wide range of variants so that customers can choose according to their budget and feature requirements. Tata has planned multiple trims, including standard versions, dark editions, and sportier-looking variants.
The petrol Harrier will be available in the Smart, Pure X, Pure X Dark, Adventure, Adventure X Dark, Fearless X, Fearless X Dark, and Fearless X Stealth variants. This wide lineup ensures that the Harrier petrol appeals to both value-focused buyers and those who want a premium and stylish SUV.
