Tata Harrier & Safari Petrol Crash Test Results from BNCAP Revealed

Tata Motors has recently taken a major step by introducing the petrol powered versions of the Harrier and the Safari. While the official prices are expected to be announced soon, the company has already shared an important update that will interest buyers who are focused on safety and features

Both SUVs, in their petrol form, have now achieved a five star safety rating under the Bharat NCAP crash test program putting them among the safest vehicles in their category

Tata Harrier And Safari Petrol Achieve Five Star Bharat NCAP Rating

The Tata Harrier and Safari petrol models have received a five star safety rating under the Bharat New Car Assessment Program. This rating is the same as the one earlier awarded to their diesel versions

Here is what the safety scores show:

• Adult occupant protection: 30.08 points out of a maximum of 32
• Child occupant protection: 44.54 points out of 49

These scores confirm that the petrol variants offer the same level of crash protection as the diesel models. The strong body structure and safety systems remain unchanged which ensures consistent safety performance across fuel options

Bharat NCAP Results Extended To Petrol Variants

Earlier, the Bharat NCAP crash test results applied only to the diesel versions of the Harrier and Safari. Tata Motors has now confirmed that these results are officially valid for the petrol versions as well

This means:

• The petrol models use the same tested body structure
• No safety features have been removed or reduced
• Buyers can expect identical protection levels in real-world conditions

For customers who prefer petrol engines, this update removes any doubts about safety

Strong Body Structure And Safety Design

Both SUVs continue to rely on Tata Motors’ proven structural engineering. The crash test results confirm that the cabin remains stable during frontal and side impacts

Key Safety Highlights include

• High structural stability during crash tests
• Effective seat belt and airbag coordination
• Reliable child seat mounting support

These factors helped both models score close to the maximum points available under BNCAP

Premium Ultra Variants Introduced With Petrol Models

To make the petrol versions more appealing, Tata Motors has also launched new high-end trims. These trims focus on comfort, styling and exclusivity

New Variant Lineup

Tata Harrier:

• Fearless Ultra
• Fearless Ultra Red Dark

Tata Safari:

• Similar premium Ultra trims introduced

These variants bring visual updates and feature enhancements while retaining the same safety package that helped achieve the five star rating

New Hyperion Petrol Engine Adds Refinement

Both SUVs will be powered by Tata’s new 1.5 liter Hyperion TGDi turbo petrol engine. This engine has been developed to offer a balance of performance and smooth driving

Key Engine Specifications

• Engine: 1.5 liter Hyperion TGDi turbo petrol
• Maximum power: 158 bhp
• Peak torque: 255 Nm

This engine is designed to offer a good balance between performance and everyday driving comfort

Transmission Options Available With Petrol Models

The Tata Harrier and Safari petrol will be available with two transmission choices. This gives buyers flexibility based on their driving preference

Available gearbox options include:

• Six speed manual transmission
• Six speed torque converter automatic transmission

The automatic gearbox is expected to suit city driving and long highway journeys, while the manual version will appeal to drivers who prefer direct control

Pricing Announcement Expected Soon

While Tata Motors has not yet revealed the prices, they are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. The petrol variants are likely to be positioned slightly differently from the diesel models to attract buyers looking for a petrol SUV with strong safety credentials

With confirmed 5 star BNCAP safety, new variant options and a fresh turbo petrol engine, the Tata Harrier and Safari petrol models are expected to draw strong interest once pricing is made official
