Earlier this week, Tata Motors commenced bookings of the new Safariahead of its launch which is likely to take place soon. The carmaker has made multiple changes to the three-row SUV inside out. Let us now take a closer look at these updates.
Unlike the previous iterations that wore the same face, the Safari facelift distinguishes itself from the refreshed Harrier with a tweaked front bumper, where the headlamp housings are squared off, while the Harrier gets a triangular finish.
The side profile benefits from a set of new 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
The left front door now gets Safari lettering.
Towards the rear, changes largely include new LED taillights, an LED light bar, and a new bumper with vertically stacked reflectors and reverse light housing as well as a faux silver skid plate.
The interiors receive a heavy revamp too, although the white interior theme is carried over from the outgoing version.
Important updates on the dash include a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, fully digital instrument cluster, new four-spoke steering wheel, and touch controls for the AC functions.
The centre console gets a brand new gear lever, 45W C-Type charging socket, rotary dial for the terrain response system, electric parking brake with auto-hold function, and a wireless charger.
Apart from an engine start-stop button, the Tata Safari facelift gets paddle shifters.
Ventilated seats are offered for the first row as standard, while the second-row is equipped with this feature exclusively in the captain seats variant.
Also up for grabs is a powered tailgate with a gesture function.
Higher-spec versions of the new Safari further get an ADAS suite. Seen in the image here is a door-open alert system.
Under the hood, the engine remains unchanged. This is a 168bhp producing, 2.0-litre diesel engine. Transmission options include six-speed manual and automatic units.
