What to Expect from the Facelifted Harrier and Safari
1. All-New Fascia: The most noticeable change comes in the form of a completely redesigned front fascia. The front bumper of the Safari facelift has been reprofiled, and the grille now boasts a wider appearance with horizontal slats featuring a contrasting piano black finish. Both SUVs retain their distinctive split headlamp setup, with the upper LED DRL (Daytime Running Light) stretching across the entire width, creating a stunning visual effect. The headlamp clusters on the facelifted Safari models adopt a vertical orientation with sharp design elements, reminiscent of the recently launched Nexon facelift.
2. Unique Styling: While the Safari facelift teaser offers a glimpse of these styling updates, the Harrier’s teaser keeps its changes mostly under wraps, except for the horizontally positioned connected lightbar. This could suggest that the Harrier might feature a distinct front-end design compared to the updated Safari.
Drive the new wave of youthful sensation & elevated performance!

3. Profile and Exterior Updates: In terms of the overall profile, both SUVs are expected to retain their distinctive silhouettes, with minor cosmetic tweaks to enhance their appeal. New alloy wheel designs and exterior paint shade options are likely to be part of the package. At the rear, the tail-lamp clusters are expected to showcase a sharper design and possibly a connected light bar, offering a modern and stylish look. Minor updates to the rear bumper and tailgate design are also anticipated.
4. Powertrain: Under the hood, both the Harrier and Safari facelifts will continue to be powered by the reliable 2.0-litre diesel engine. This engine can be paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque convertor automatic gearbox. It’s worth noting that these powertrains were recently updated to comply with the BS6 Stage II emissions norms. While Tata Motors is actively working on petrol and electric powertrain options for these SUVs, those developments are expected to materialize in the future.
Conclusion
The forthcoming Tata Harrier and Safari facelifts promise to rejuvenate these popular SUV models with striking design updates and enhanced features. Tata Motors is known for its meticulous teaser campaigns leading up to new model launches, and as the excitement builds, more details are sure to emerge. With bookings opening on October 6, 2023, Indian SUV enthusiasts eagerly await the official launch, which is expected to take place in the coming weeks. These facelifted SUVs aim to set new standards in style, performance, and driving experience, further solidifying Tata Motors’ position in the competitive SUV market. Stay tuned for more updates as the launch date draws nearer.
