Tata Harrier engine details revealed

Tata Motors has revealed the engine details of the Harrier SUV, which will be launched in the country early next year.

The Harrier will be powered by the 2-litre, 4-cylinder, Multijet II diesel engine, built by Fiat Chrysler. The engine makes 171bhp and 350Nm of peak twist. The Jeep Compass sold in India is powered by the same engine. However, Tata Motors has christened the engine as ‘2.0L KRYOTEC’. The SUV will have multiple drive modes. The Tata Harrier is built on the OMEGA architecture, which is based on the Land Rover D8 architecture and it will be the first production vehicle to sport the company’s ‘Impact 2.0’ design language.

The Tata Harrier will compete with the Hyundai Creta and the Jeep Compass when it arrives in 2019.
