Tata Harrier & Safari facelift fuel efficiency figures revealed

The updated Harrier and Safari facelifts are slightly more frugal despite using the same engine and transmission combination.

Last week, Tata Motors took the wraps off the updated Harrier and Safari. Both SUVs get several changes on the outside as well as on the interior. While they are mechanically identical to their predecessors, there has been a slight improvement in claimed fuel efficiency.

Under the bonnet, the Harrier and Safari facelift continue to use the same 2.0-litre 4-cylinder diesel engine that makes 168 BHP and 350 Nm. The engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The Harrier facelift has a claimed fuel efficiency of 16.80 km/l for the manual and 14.60 km/l for the automatic version. On the other hand, the new Safari returns 16.30 km/l and 14.50 km/l for the manual and automatic versions, respectively.

Tata Motors is offering the Harrier and Safari facelifts in four trims. The SUVs now come equipped with several new features, including ADAS, with Adaptive Cruise Control, 7 airbags, a new gear knob dubbed ‘Smart E-Shifter’, paddle shifters and dual-zone automatic climate control with a touch-based control panel. There’s also a new steering wheel with an illuminated logo, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster with Navigational Display, and a 10-speaker JBL audio system.
