2026 Tata Harrier Petrol Review And Opinion - Top Five Things To Know
Tata Motors has brought in the 2026 Harrier with a petrol derivative. While there are only a few cosmetic changes and feature additions, the Harrier continues to be like the existing diesel model. However, it's the first time ever the Harrier gets a petrol engine option. Hence, let's check out the top five things to know from Seshan Vijayraghvan's first drive impressions of the 2026 Tata Harrier.

- The petrol Harrier looks like the existing Harrier on sale retaining its design.
- However, Tata Motors offers two new colour options including Nitro Crimson and Carbon Black.
- Moreover, customers benefit from a 14.5-inch Samsung touchscreen, dual-channel dashcam, and auto-dipping ORVMs.

Seshan details the changes outside saying, “In terms of looks, nothing much has changed with both SUVs. You get the same exterior styling elements and cabin layout as the diesel SUV. That being said, Tata is now offering a new Nitro Red colour for both the Harrier and Safari, and both will get a dual-tone option as well with a contrast black roof. The top-spec Harrier gets 18-inch alloy wheels, while Safari rolls on a set of 19-inch dual-tone wheels.”
Pros
- Five-star crash safety
- Spacious and feature-packed cabin
- Strong torquey performance
Cons
- Firm slow-speed ride
- Clunky manual gearbox
Verdict
The Tata Harrier facelift levels up with premium style, tech, and safety. Minor quirks aside, it's a strong contender in the mid-size SUV game, now with petrol and diesel options. A solid choice for those looking for a stylish and tech-savvy ride.
