Engine

The 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, direct-injection Hyperion turbo petrol engine found in the new Harrier and Safari is part of the new engine family of Tata Motors. This engine will produce a power of about 168 PS and a torque of 280 Nm. Not only this, this power output makes these SUVs equal to the rest of the cars in its segment such as the Mahindra XUV700, Hyundai Alcazar and MG Hector.

This engine was first showcased at Auto Expo 2023, where it received considerable praise. Since then, there has been much discussion about its market launch, but now the company has finally set a date for December 9, 2025.

Performance

The new Hyperion Turbo GDI engine is specifically designed for those who want a little “fun power ” in driving. This engine gives superb mid-range performance between 2000–3500 rpm. That is, this engine will be smooth and responsive on city driving as well as on the highway.

Tata can offer this engine with both manual and automatic transmission options. Although the company has not yet revealed which automatic gearbox will be used, it is expected that it may receive a 6-speed torque converter or dual-clutch automatic.
