Tata Harrier (petrol) SUV found testing; launch likely in 2021
A test mule of the Tata Harrier has been spotted with emission testing equipment mounted on its rear end. This has given rise to speculation that it might be a petrol variant, which is expected to be launched sometime in 2021. As per the reports, the Harrier (petrol) will draw power from a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine, mated to a 7-speed DCT gearbox.
