Tata Harrier Petrol and Safari Petrol BNCAP rating
The Harrier and Safari SUVs have been sturdy and accomplished in the safety criteria. However, Tata wanted to ensure that its new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine-equipped duo of SUVs is equally safe as their diesel counterparts. Therefore, the brand sent both SUVs to Bharat NCAP for thorough testing, as both models received a final score of 5 stars.
As far as the details are concerned, both models received 30.08/32 points in adult occupant safety, while both SUVs scored 44.54/49 points in child occupant safety. Both SUVs have been flagged ‘good’ in the frontal offset impact test and the side impact test, including the side pole test.
Tata’s new 1.5-litre engine is rated for 168 bhp and 280 Nm, and it comes mated to a FWD configuration with a 6-speed automatic and a 6-speed manual transmission options. The price list for the Harrier Petrol and Safari Petrol models are yet to be revealed.
