The automaker first showcased the four-cylinder motor at the 2023 Delhi Auto Expo. Furthermore, the engine claims a power output of 170 bhp at 5,000rpm and a peak torque of 280 Nm between 2,000rpm – 3,500rpm. The same gasoline engine is expected to power the upcoming Tata Curvv mid-size SUV and the updated Safari. It is also expected to be used in the ICE version of the Tata Sierra which is due for 2025. Tata further claims that the new petrol engine has an aluminum construction that makes it more efficient and frugal, with features such as dual cam phasing, a variable oil pump, and an integrated exhaust manifold in the cylinder head.
The new Tata TGDi petrol engine features a water-cooled variable geometry turbocharger that enhances the engine’s torque from lower in the rev range for improved acceleration. The new motor has low ownership costs due to its new valve trains and timing chains. The Harrier petrol version will be available with both manual and automatic transmissions.
