Tata Harrier facelift: Engine, transmission
The Harrier SUV is expected to be launched with the same Fiat-sourced 2.0-litre diesel engine that produces 168 bhp and 350 Nm of peak torque. It is likely to come mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. There is a possibility that Tata will also introduce its new 1.5-litre petrol engine that uses direct-injection technology. It puts out 168 bhp and 280 Nm of peak torque.
When launched, Tata Harrier will have its task cut out against compact diesel SUVs like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos - the leaders in the segment. It remains to be seen if the new Harrier can turn around the SUV's market share before its electric version hits Indian roads by early next year.
