Kryotec – the Engine That Will Power the Tata Harrier

Just when we thought Tata was only focusing on the Tigor facelift, the company released some information of the engine that will power their new Harrier SUV. What essentially is a modified version of Fiat’s Multijet engine, this two-litre turbocharged oil burner is also seen on the Jeep Compass SUV. Tata has done some modifications to the engine which include the addition of an electronically controlled variable geometry turbocharger, a low friction valve train and an advanced EGR system. While the Indian carmaker has not revealed official figures yet, reports suggest the car will deliver 140 horses and provide a turning force of 300 Nm.

The engine will also have different tune stages which will work in conjunction with the drive mode selector to provide the best output as per the conditions the SUV is thrown in front of. Going by the robust architecture and testing videos of the Harrier, we sure know that it is going to be quite a capable off-roader and engine like this further proves this statement. Tata too has backed up the prowess of the car by testing it across various road surfaces, even a race track.
