Introducing a turbo-petrol engine option for the Tata Harrier and Safari will surely boost their sales, especially since their rivals like the Mahindra Scorpio and XUV 700 already offer petrol powertrains. By adding a petrol alternative, Tata can attract a wider range of audience audience and compete more effectively in this segment.
Petrol engines are also cheaper than diesel ones, therefore Tata can attract a wider range of buyers who prefer petrol cars. The petrol variants are usually 2-3 lakh cheaper than their diesel counterparts, making them more accessible for buyers. Also, the petrol engines are more refined than the diesel engines. Overall, this petrol strategy will help Tata strengthen its position in the mid-size SUV segment.
