At this 12 months’s Delhi Auto Expo, Tata Motors showcased a Harrier EV idea in addition to the 1.5-litre turbocharged gasoline direct injection (TGDi) engine that will be provided underneath the hood of the Harrier SUV. And whereas the 1.5L TGDi engine has been within the works for some time now, we perceive that the electrical Harrier would arrive earlier than its petrol-powered counterpart.

At the value announcement of the facelifted Harrier and Safari yesterday, Shailesh Chandra, managing director of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd, mentioned “We have already shown the 1.5-litre TGDi engine at the Auto Expo and we intend to bring it. I would say that it’s slightly far away – one year and beyond. But we are going to bring the petrol engine also.”

According to sources, the event of the petrol motor is proving to be a problem however one the corporate is aware of it should handle, “Petrol volumes are going to grow and it is imperative that we enter the petrol segment also,” mentioned Chandra. Once prepared, the engine would enable Tata Motors to supply a petrol-powered model of each the Curvv and Sierra SUVs, along with the Harrier and Safari.
