Under the hood, the Tata Safari is powered by the Harrier's Fiat-sourced 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that produces 168 bhp of maximum power and 350 Nm of peak torque. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Just like the Harrier, the Safari is based on the Land Rover-derived Omega architecture. However, unlike the original Safari, which had a 4x4 drivetrain, the new-gen Safari is a front-wheel-drive offering.
The new Tata Safari is largely similar to the Tata Harrier, except for the bugger side profile and a reworked tail-end. However, there are some key differences between the two models. The Safari boasts a unique grille upfront with Tata's signature tri-arrow motifs finished in chrome. There’s more chrome encasing the split headlight clusters. The rear end of the Safari is completely unique with a full rear-quarter glass, a stepped roof, a new tailgate, roof rails with the Safari inscription and a more upright rear section. The interior is mostly identical as well.
In terms of features, the new Tata Safari gets an 8.8-inch touchscreen system, 7.0-inch digital display in the instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control, drive modes (Eco, City and Sports) and ESP-based Terrain modes (Normal, Rough and Wet), electric parking brake, hill-descent control, ambient lighting, powered driver seat, iRA connected car tech and much more. The Safari is a genuine three-row SUV and it does not have an apologetic third row of seats. It currently only rivals the MG Hector Plus but will soon see competition from the upcoming Hyundai Alcazar and Mahindra XUV700.
