Tata Harrier Mileage

Tata Harrier mileage varies, depending on the variant. The diesel manual variant has a mileage of 16.8 km/l. The diesel-automatic model has a mileage of 16.8 km/l. Note that the mileage figures are as per ARAI.

Factors Affecting Tata Harrier Mileage

• Driving Style: Your driving style has a significant impact on mileage. Aggressive acceleration, where you floor the accelerator pedal, wastes fuel and reduces mileage. You should accelerate gently. Similarly, hard braking lowers mileage. Allow plenty of slowing down distance and brake gently. Not anticipating stops and accelerating/braking constantly reduces mileage.

• Speed: Driving at higher speeds above 60-70km/hr causes more wind resistance, putting an extra load on the engine, which reduces mileage. Maintaining an optimal speed between 40-60km/hr causes less drag and improves mileage. Higher speeds also require more acceleration, which uses more fuel, lowering economy.

• Terrain: Mileage varies significantly between city and highway driving. Frequent start-stops, acceleration, and low average speeds in city driving reduce mileage. Steady high speeds on highways improve it. Within city driving, regular ups and downs of flyovers and rough roads also require more engine effort, reducing economy. Smooth, flat roads maximise it.

• AC Usage: Using AC substantially increases the load on the engine to run the compressor. To improve mileage, driving with the AC off or keeping the fan speed at lower levels is better. Driving in recirculate mode instead of fresh air also helps.

Tata Harrier Mileage for Different Powertrains

The Tata Harrier comes with a diesel engine option to suit different needs.

1. Diesel Manual Transmission

The Tata Harrier Diesel features a KRYOTEC 2.0L BS6 Phase 2 turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

The Tata Harrier Diesel Manual offers robust performance and consistent mileage, making it an excellent choice for those who value control and driving precision on diverse terrains.

2. Diesel Automatic Transmission

The Tata Harrier Diesel automatic variant is powered by a KRYOTEC 2.0L BS6 Phase 2 turbocharged engine with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission.

The Diesel automatic variant combines the power of the KRYOTEC engine with the ease of automation, delivering a stress-free driving experience without compromising fuel efficiency.

Note: These mileage figures are based on standard testing conditions and may vary depending on driving habits, road conditions, and vehicle upkeep.

How Tata Harrier Mileage Affects Running Cost

With rising fuel prices, the mileage directly affects how much an owner would spend on fueling it up. Therefore, the Harrier's mileage plays an important role in determining its cost of ownership over the long term.

The basic formula for calculating car running costs is: 

Let's calculate the running costs for diesel variants:

Diesel Variant Running Cost Calculation

• Distance driven (daily): 50 kilometres

• Petrol price: ₹100/litre

• Average mileage: 16 km/l

Daily cost = 50 km ÷ 16 km/l × ₹100/l = ₹312

• Monthly cost (30 days) = ₹312× 30 = ₹9,360

• Annual cost = ₹9,360 × 12 = ₹1,12,320

Note: The calculations are based on average fuel prices across major metropolitan areas. Depending on regional fuel rates, driving habits, and vehicle maintenance, actual costs may differ.
