tata safari harrier petrol vs diesel variants engine gearbox options Pro...

Tata Motors has clearly structured the Harrier and Safari lineup to push petrol powertrains at the premium end, while keeping diesel relevant for buyers looking for torque and long-distance use. Understanding this variant-wise strategy helps buyers shortlist the right trim without confusion and avoid expecting combinations that simply aren't on sale. As for the diesel Ultra trims, even though nothing has been officially mentioned, it only makes sense to extend those to the diesel ones as well, considering that a vehicle this size, mostly is prefered with an oil burner. 

Highlights

  • Petrol buyers get the widest access to top-end and Ultra variants
  • Diesel buyers retain strong mid-variant options but miss out on Ultra trims
  • Automatic gearbox seekers are well served in both petrol and diesel, except at entry-level trims
