Tata Motors has begun accepting bookings for the 2023 Tata Safari and Harrier. Both SUVs have been updated with new features and are now BS6 Phase 2 compliant.
The exterior and interior design for the standard versions of the Harrier and Safari remains completely unchanged, while the special Red Dark edition will have red accents on the black exterior and red upholstery for the interior.
Coming to the feature list of the MY2023 Tata Harrier and Safari, the Indian automaker has added some intriguing new features, some of which have been long anticipated. Finally, a larger 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with its latest UI is available and according to the details available, it is one of the finest and smoothest touchscreens Tata Motor has used to date.
It also receives a new 360-degree camera with 2D and 3D viewing modes for easier parking. There is also a new all-digital instrument cluster with a 7-inch display. The SUVs have 6-way power-adjustable seats with a memory function. Ambient and Mood lighting is provided for the panoramic sunroof in the MY2023 Tata Safari. The engine is now BS6 Phase 2 compliant, and it is the same 2.0-litre diesel engine with 170 PS and 350 Nm of torque.
The Harrier and Safari now have the much-anticipated ADAS feature. It has the following features:
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Forward Collision Warning
Measuring the distance with the ADAS monitors alerts the driver with an audio-visual warning on the instrument cluster about a possible collision.
Autonomous Emergency Braking
The ADAS monitors detect potential collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists and, if necessary, automatically apply the brakes.
Traffic Sign Recognition
The system recognises traffic signs such as speed limits and no overtaking signs and displays them on the instrument cluster to alert the driver.
High Beam Assist
This is a very helpful feature. When oncoming vehicles are detected, it automatically switches the headlight from high to low beam.
Lane Departure Warning
If you deviate from the lane markings, the system will alert you with an audio-visual alert. However, it does not correct the steering wheel.
Blind Spot Detection
If a vehicle enters your blind spot, the ADAS system will warn you with an audio-visual warning on the ORVM.
Lane Change Alert
If there is an unintentional deviation from the lane, this feature alerts the driver with a visual warning on the instrument cluster.
Door Open Alert
This happens quite frequently when your vehicle’s passengers open the door without looking out. If a speeding vehicle is detected from behind, this feature will alert the passengers with audio and visual alerts. It will aid the driver and passengers in safely exiting the vehicle.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
This feature alerts you if there is an object or vehicle approaching or present in the vehicle’s rear blind spot for safe reversing.
Rear Collision Warning
If a speeding vehicle approaches, the system monitors it and alerts the driver. It also warns the driver of an approaching vehicle by flashing the hazard lights.
