By November, Tata Motors plans to introduce petrol-powered versions of the Harrier and Safari along with the all new Tata Sierra EV.
The Tata Punch facelift and the updated Punch EV will get minor styling changes along with better features. The petrol Punch could adopt some elements from the electric version such as a fully digital instrument cluster new two spoke steering wheel a touch based climate control panel and a larger 10.25 inch touchscreen infotainment unit.
Under the hood, the ICE Punch will continue with the 1.2L, 3 cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, producing 86 bhp and 113 Nm of torque. Buyers will also get the option of factory-fitted CNG.
For the Punch EV facelift, reports suggest that it might use the Nexon EV’s larger 45 kWh battery pack, which offers an ARAI-rated range of 489 km. This will improve its driving distance on a single charge and give buyers more confidence in daily use.
The Tata Sierra will make a comeback as a modern electric SUV. Unlike its old version, the new Sierra will have a premium design, advanced features, and a choice of large battery packs. Media sources suggest that it may borrow 65 kWh and 75 kWh battery packs from the Harrier EV. The expected range is over 500 km per charge, making it one of Tata’s long-range EVs.
The petrol-powered Sierra will only arrive later, in the first half of 2026. For now, the focus is on the electric version.
Tata Motors is finally bringing petrol versions of its popular SUVs, Harrier and Safari. Both will use a new 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine with direct injection technology. The motor produces 170 PS of power and 280 Nm of torque. It follows the latest BS6 Phase II rules and is also compatible with E20 ethanol-blended fuel. Buyers can choose between manual and automatic gearboxes.
