The current generation Tata Safari models were launched in 2023 and carry the legacy of this iconic 7-seater SUV in style. While Tata Safari is a mid-size 3-row segment SUV, Tata Harrier that looks like its sibling is a 5-seater mid-size SUV that was first launched in 2019. The latest facelift for Tata Harrier was unveiled in 2023 and it comes with the 1.5-litre Turbo-Petrol (Hyperion) and a 2.0-Litre Kryotec Diesel engine. Safari also offers the exact same engine and powertrain options as Tata Harrier. Both these cars have been built on the same Optimal Modular Efficient Global Advanced Architecture (OMEGARC) platform. Therefore, these cars share the same DNA, mechanical prowess, and build-quality. The manual diesel variants of Tata Safari offer the best mileage in its lineup and the same can be said about Tata Harrier as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so much similar engineering and architecture happening behind the scenes, you would imagine that their mileage figures would be the same too.

However, the kerb weight of Tata Safari models is slightly heavier (up to 120 kgs more) than Harrier because of its longer length and third-row seating arrangement. Other than this, we cannot figure out any major factor that can create a difference in the mileage of these cars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n    <style>\r\n        .sp-card-wrapper { \r\n            margin: 40px auto; \r\n            border-radius: 20px; \r\n            overflow: hidden; \r\n            font-family: sans-serif; \r\n            background: #fff; \r\n            box-shadow: 0 15px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.18); \r\n            max-width: 700px; \/* Narrower width makes the stack feel tighter *\/\r\n            text-decoration: none;\r\n            display: block;\r\n            width: 100%;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-img-container { \r\n            width: 100%; \r\n            position: relative;\r\n            padding-top: 56.25%; \/* Fixed 16:9 ratio for a cinematic feel *\/\r\n            background: #f4f4f4;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-img-container img {\r\n            position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; object-fit: cover;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-footer { \r\n            padding: 30px; \r\n            background: #2e054e; \r\n            color: #fff !important; \r\n            text-align: center; \/* Centered layout for the stack *\/\r\n            display: flex;\r\n            flex-direction: column;\r\n            align-items: center;\r\n            gap: 15px;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-card-title { \r\n            font-size: clamp(28px, 5vw, 42px); \/* Much larger, prominent name *\/\r\n            margin: 0; \r\n            font-weight: 800; \r\n            color: #fff !important; \r\n            line-height: 1.1;\r\n            letter-spacing: -1px;\r\n        }\r\n        .sp-btn { \r\n            background: #ed264f; \r\n            padding: 18px 40px; \r\n            border-radius: 10px; \r\n            font-weight: 900; \r\n            color: #fff !important; \r\n            font-size: 16px; \r\n            text-transform: uppercase; \r\n            letter-spacing: 1px; \r\n            width: 100%;\r\n            max-width: 300px; \/* Prevents button from being too wide on desktop *\/\r\n            box-sizing: border-box;\r\n            box-shadow: 0 4px 15px rgba(237, 38, 79, 0.3);\r\n        }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n\r\n    <a href='https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/used-harrier-cars\/s\/?utm_source=HarrierVsSafariMileage&utm_medium=BlogCard' target='_blank' class='sp-card-wrapper'>\r\n        <div class='sp-img-container'>\r\n            <img src='https:\/\/mda.spinny.com\/sp-file-system\/public\/2026-04-18\/d3cab48bdfe644e09a953de6c3254883\/raw\/file.JPG?q=85' alt='Used Tata Harrier Cars'>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        <div class='sp-footer'>\r\n            <h3 class='sp-card-title'>Used Tata Harrier Cars<\/h3>\r\n            <div style='margin-bottom: 5px;'>\r\n                        <div style='font-size: 12px; opacity: 0.8; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.5px;'>Starting From<\/div>\r\n                        <div style='font-size: clamp(24px, 4vw, 32px); font-weight: 800;'>\u20b9 9 Lakh<\/div>\r\n                      <\/div>\r\n            <div class='sp-btn'>Explore Pre-Owned Cars<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tata-harrier-vs-tata-safari-arai-mileage-figures\"><strong>Tata Harrier vs Tata Safari: ARAI Mileage Figures <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ARAI stands for Automotive Research Association of India. It is an autonomous body that functions directly under the Government of India and its primary role is testing and certifying different automotive parts and components. ARAI also conducts mileage tests to check the optimal mileage of the cars in the ideal conditions. Therefore, the ARAI claimed mileage figures are always greater than the real-world mileage figures.

Though the difference in the mileage is negligible to influence a buyer\u2019s decision, the difference is substantial if you compare their full-tank range.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the diesel variants of Harrier offer a better fuel-economy than Safari\u2019s diesel variants. Here also, the difference in their mileage is not huge but can impact the overall fuel costs when you compare their tank-to-tank range. So, we cannot judge either of the cars as the clear winner in the department of mileage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/cars\/tata\/harrier\/?utm_source=HarrierVsSafariMileage&amp;utm_medium=BlogLink\">Harrier<\/a> has the advantage of being the lighter vehicle with a better aerodynamic design and lesser drag co-efficient than Safari, Safari manages to deliver more mileage with certain powertrains, specially with the petrol variant because of several reasons. In the real-world conditions, the drivers tend to drive Safari models more carefully because of its longer length and taller body. Also, the relaxed driving dynamics of Tata Safari works in its favour whereas Tata Harrier can be driven more aggressively, especially on the highways. So, the key difference-maker in the fuel-efficiency of these cars is the driving style and operational factors that may favour either of the cars depending upon the real-world situation and the driver\u2019s preferences.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/buying-guide-tata-harrier\/\">Complete Guide to Buying a Tata Harrier<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tata-harrier-vs-tata-safari-fuel-cost-comparison\"><strong>Tata Harrier vs Tata Safari: Fuel Cost Comparison <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we have seen how the real-world mileage of these cars compare against each other, let\u2019s evaluate their periodic fuel costs.

However, both the cars are not known for their high fuel-efficiency. Their bulky frame and higher kerb weight along with powerful engines eat away at their real-world mileage figures. Despite this, you can choose the Safari petrol models if you need a 7-seater SUV primarily for city driving. If you are happy with a 5-seater but require a car for long trips and highway driving, choose the diesel variants of Harrier.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fa-qs\"><strong>FAQs\u00a0<\/strong>About Tata Harrier vs Tata Safari: Real World Mileage Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"saswp-faq-block-section\"><ol style=\"list-style-type:none\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h5 class=\"saswp-faq-question-title \">Q.
