WITH A PETROL ENGINE, THE HARRIER FINALLY FEELS REFINED
THE TATA HARRIER — built on a platform derived from Land Rover’s D8 — never felt like a Land Rover. It was heavy, had a lot of body roll, and its diesel engine was noisy, coarse. Is the new Harrier — 1.5-litre Hyperion petrol — worlds apart?
What has changed?
The engine produces 170 bhp power and 280 Nm torque, and the first thing you’d notice is the silence. There is also a new trim — Fearless Ultra (only with petrol) with the 14.53-inch Samsung Neo QLED screen, and a digital IRVM.
How does it drive?
