Tata Harrier Fearless X Plus Petrol

The Tata Harrier Fearless X Plus Petrol pairs the new 1.5‑litre Hyperion turbo‑petrol (170hp, 280Nm) with a 6‑speed gearbox (manual or Aisin torque‑converter auto, with the auto being the nicer match) and front‑wheel drive. On the Land Rover‑derived OMEGA Arc platform, it retains the Harrier’s trademark strengths: planted high‑speed manners, absorbent suspension and a solid, safe feel. The Fearless X Plus trim sits high in the petrol hierarchy and brings in the big 14.53‑inch Samsung Neo QLED touchscreen, 10‑speaker JBL audio with Dolby Atmos, 10.25‑inch digital cluster with blind‑spot view, panoramic sunroof, powered driver’s seat with memory (including ORVM positions), digital rear‑view mirror doubling as dashcam, 360° camera with front and rear washers, ventilated seats and rich dual‑tone interior theme. Safety is covered by six or seven airbags (depending on final petrol spec), ESC, ADAS and a Bharat NCAP 5‑star structure carried over from the diesel. I see this variant as the one to shortlist if you want a full‑size, tech‑rich petrol SUV primarily for family use and highway touring, and are comfortable budgeting for its relatively thirsty nature.

I see the Tata Harrier Fearless X Plus Petrol as a great choice if you want a big, safe, feature-loaded SUV and are willing to accept higher fuel costs. The new 1.5‑litre Hyperion turbo‑petrol (170hp, 280Nm) delivers genuinely strong low‑down torque and smooth performance, so this heavy SUV never feels underpowered in the city or on highways. Ride quality and stability remain a highlight, and the lighter petrol front end adds a touch of agility. The variant’s equipment list is rich: 14.53‑inch QLED touchscreen, JBL sound system with Dolby Atmos, panoramic sunroof, powered driver seat with memory, camera washers and digital rear‑view mirror all make it feel properly premium. Ergonomic quirks like touch HVAC controls and the slightly audible engine at cruising speeds are minor irritants rather than deal-breakers. If my running were moderate and I valued refinement and features over absolute fuel efficiency, I would be comfortable recommending this petrol Fearless X Plus as the sweet spot in the Harrier petrol line-up.

The Tata Harrier Fearless X Plus Petrol sits near the top of the new Harrier petrol range and, to me, it’s the sweet spot if you want all the tech without going overboard on price. It uses Tata’s new 1.5‑litre turbo‑GDi petrol (Hyperion) making about 170 hp and 280 Nm, paired with a 6‑speed manual in this variant, so performance is strong enough for fast highway work while still feeling responsive in the city, though you should not buy it for fuel efficiency given early impressions of the petrol’s thirst compared to the diesel in India’s real-world conditions , . What really sells this trim for me is the feature set: the big 14.5‑inch Neo QLED touchscreen with connected tech and Dolby Atmos audio, digital IRVM with integrated dashcam, panoramic sunroof, powered and ventilated front seats, and an extensive Level 2 ADAS suite all come together to make it feel genuinely premium for an Indian midsize SUV . Space, ride comfort and the 5‑star Bharat NCAP rating remain core strengths, but some ergonomic quirks and the audible engine note do remind me this is still a Tata, not a luxury SUV .

For the diesel Harrier Fearless X Plus, ex‑showroom Delhi sits around ₹23.1 lakh and on‑road about ₹27.4 lakh, and current guidance is that the new petrol range will be roughly ₹50,000–₹80,000 cheaper variant‑to‑variant. That puts the Harrier Fearless X Plus Petrol approximately in the ₹22.3–₹22.6 lakh ex‑showroom band, with an estimated on‑road Delhi of around ₹26.5–₹27 lakh once RTO and insurance are added. This means you are paying Creta/Seltos money for a larger, safer D‑segment‑sized SUV with more road presence, a stronger engine and a much richer feature list, which I consider good value if you genuinely need the space and highway capability. Compared with the diesel Fearless X Plus, you save a bit upfront but will likely spend more at the pump over time, so I see this pricing working best for buyers whose annual running is under 12,000–15,000 km and who place a premium on smooth petrol performance and lower NVH over fuel savings.

Real‑world tests of the Harrier petrol show city–highway figures hovering around 8–11 kmpl, with even media drives struggling to move the trip computer beyond 8 kmpl in mixed use. If fuel efficiency and low running costs are top priority, this variant is not the ideal choice; it suits buyers willing to trade mileage for performance, refinement and features.
