Power and Performance Unchanged
Under the hood, the Tata Safari facelift retains its powerful 2.0-litre diesel engine producing 170hp and 350Nm of torque. This engine is available with both 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions. The automatic gearbox becomes available from the Adventure+ variant onward. The Safari continues to offer three terrain response modes – Normal, Rough, and Wet – and three driving modes (Eco, City, and Sport) to adapt to various driving conditions.
A Splash of Colors and Rugged Options
The Tata Safari facelift is available in a range of captivating colors: Cosmic Gold, Galactic Sapphire, Lunar Slate, Stardust Ash, Stellar Frost, and Supernova Copper. The Oberon Black color option is exclusively offered for the Dark edition variants. Just like the Nexon and Nexon EV, each trim comes with its unique exterior and interior color options.
Rivals and Market Standing
The Tata Safari facelift is set to continue its rivalry with competitors like the MG Hector Plus, the 7-seat Mahindra XUV700, Scorpio N, and Hyundai Alcazar.
With its compelling pricing, stunning design updates, rich feature set, and commitment to safety, the Tata Safari facelift further strengthens Tata Motors’ position in the Indian automotive sector and aligns perfectly with their mission of reducing road accidents and promoting safer cars in India.
