In the second attempt, you can again see Scorpio taking an initial lead and finally, in the last run, Harrier manages to grip on to an early lead. In the long race, the actual winner is Tata Harrier. However, Scorpio takes the cake with the initial acceleration. Now, let’s get to the specifications and figures.
Harrier gets a 2.0 Litre turbo diesel engine that produces 140 PS and 350 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Scorpio, on the other hand, gets a 2.2 Litre turbo diesel engine that produces 140 PS and 320 Nm of peak torque. So, technically Harrier is the more powerful of both offering more torque.
Since Tata Harrier is not tall like Scorpio and is slightly lighter in weight, it picks up in the long race. In the run of 0-100 km/hr Harrier might win, but in the 60 km/hr Scorpio will be the winner. The low-end torque generation is better in the tall-boy SUV which explains the initial pickup.
