Petrol coming, but
Jumping straight to the point, we recently interviewed Shailesh Chandra, MD, Tata Motors. In this interview, we asked about the possibility of a petrol engine coming on the Harrier & Safari. To this question, Shailesh Chandra stated that Tata Motors is working on bringing the 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine on the Harrier and Safari. However, it will not come with the facelifted models as this petrol engine will debut with the Curvv, coming next year. We can expect petrol to grace the Harrier and Safari lineup later on in their life cycles. In this interview, we also got insights into the possibility of Harrier 4×4, you can check out the detailed story here.
