Both now share the new 1.5-litre HYPERION turbo-petrol engine family, but they differ in size and diesel engine. The Harrier uses the 2.0-litre Kryotec diesel, while the Sierra uses a smaller 1.5-litre Kryojet diesel and also offers a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Harrier or Sierra, which is better for mileage?

Its turbo-petrol automatic is slightly more efficient than the Harrier&#8217;s, and its 1.5-litre diesel delivers better mileage than the Harrier&#8217;s 2.0-litre diesel in both city and highway driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sierra is also cheaper to buy and run, and it offers an NA petrol option for buyers who drive less. However, both turbo-petrol automatics return low mileage in heavy city traffic, so the diesel remains the better choice for high monthly running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, if you want lower running costs, a bigger boot and a lower starting price, the Sierra is a great choice. If you want more power, a stronger 2.0-litre diesel for long highway trips and a bigger, more commanding SUV, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/tata-harrier-vs-tata-safari-real-world-mileage-comparison\/\">Harrier<\/a> justifies its higher price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fa-qs\"><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"saswp-faq-block-section\"><ol style=\"list-style-type:none\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3 class=\"\"><strong>Q.
