Under the hood, the Harrier will be powered by a 2.0-litre Kryotec inline-four diesel engine mated to a six-speed manual to generate 138bhp of power and 350Nm of torque. The vehicle gets multiple drive modes such as Eco, City and Sport along with the ESP Terrain Response modes (normal, rough and wet) for taking on difficult terrains.
