Tata Unveils Harrier and Safari Petrol Range With New Ultra Trims, 1.5L Turbo

The move targets petrol‑preferring buyers with lower entry prices via new tech‑laden Ultra trims.

Overview

  • Both SUVs adopt Tata’s 1.5‑litre Hyperion/TGDi petrol rated around 168–170 bhp and 280 Nm, paired with 6‑speed manual or 6‑speed automatic gearboxes.
  • New petrol‑only flagships debut as Harrier Fearless Ultra and Safari Accomplished Ultra, adding a 14.5‑inch Samsung QLED infotainment screen, 10‑speaker JBL Dolby Atmos audio, a digital IRVM with dashcam, and enhanced Level‑2 ADAS.
  • Bharat NCAP confirms the existing crash‑test rating applies to the petrol variants, maintaining the safety credentials of both models.
  • Variant spread is broad: petrol automatics are offered above the base Smart trim, and the new Ultra trims are not available with diesel, expanding choice for non‑diesel buyers.
  • Official prices are pending; industry reports expect petrol trims to undercut equivalent diesels by about ₹50,000–1.5 lakh with an estimated Harrier petrol entry near ₹13–14 lakh, and some outlets report Harrier petrol pre‑bookings are live.
