With the highly anticipated petrol versions of the Safari and Harrier, which are anticipated to debut in November 2025, Tata Motors is poised to make a significant impact in the Indian SUV market. Given that both of these flagship SUVs have only had diesel engines up to this point, this represents a huge change for Tata.
What’s New?
- Tata’s 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine, which produces 160–170 horsepower, will power the new petrol variants.
- Both manual and automatic transmission options will be available for this engine, increasing its adaptability to a variety of driving situations.
- In order to improve performance and fuel efficiency, Tata is also anticipated to implement mild-hybrid technology.
Why the Petrol Variants?
Tata wants to draw clients who choose sophisticated and low-maintenance petrol engines over diesel, given the growing demand for SUVs with petrol engines in India. Tata hopes to improve its position in this market since rivals like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Hector, and Mahindra XUV700 already have good gasoline offerings.
Expected Features
The high-end amenities found in their diesel brothers will remain available in the gasoline-powered Safari and Harrier models:
- Panoramic sunroof
- Large touchscreen infotainment with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
- Ventilated seats
- Premium interiors with ambient lighting
Expected Price in India
In order to compete in the premium SUV market, the Tata Safari Petrol and Tata Harrier Petrol are anticipated to have ex-showroom prices between ₹15 lakh and ₹23 lakh.
Launch Timeline
Reservations are anticipated to open a few weeks prior to the official debut, which is scheduled for November 2025. By December 2025, deliveries might begin in time for the holidays.
