Tata Safari is all set to make a comeback in the Indian markets very soon. As per the teaser video uploaded by Tata Motors on their social media channels, the brand would be launching the all-new 2021 Safari later this month. According to the details available and as one can judge from the teaser image, the next-gen model of Tata Safari is basically the 7-seater version of Harrier, which was showcased as Gravitas at the Auto Expo back in February 2020.
Equipped with the same underlying OMEGARC platform, the 2021 Tata Safari is based on the brand’s all-new Impact Design 2.0 philosophy which features sleek LED DRLs mated to the iconic humanity line grille at the front. The projector headlamps have been housed just above the fog lamps while the overall neat front bumper design adds to its premium appeal.
Coming to the rear profile, the SUV has been equipped with a larger windscreen at the rear that meets the D-pillar in a skilful manner while the addition of squared wheel arches, as well as the roof rails, further distinguishes it apart from the Tata Harrier. In addition to this, the brand has also equipped the new Safari with a muscular rear bumper design with an all-new LED tail lights setup which is different from its 5-seater version.

Since the design language of the Tata Safari takes inspiration from the Buzzard concept that was originally showcased at Geneva Motor Show, the SUV measures 4,661mm in length, 1,894mm in width, and 1,786mm in height while the wheelbase remains same at 2,741 mm when compared to the Tata Harrier.
Coming to the cabin, the brand is expected to offer the next-gen Tata Safari with every premium bit which includes the likes of the touchscreen infotainment system, dual-tone interiors, a floating digital console as well as steering mounted controls.
Powering the all-new Tata Safari will be the same 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine, which is capable of offering maximum power of 170HP and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The engine will be mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard while the customers will also be able to avail the Safari with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox as well.
In terms of pricing, 2021 Tata Safari is expected to get a price hike of around INR 1 lakh to INR 1.50 lakhs in comparison to the Harrier. For your reference, the current-gen model of Harrier is available with a price range of INR 13.84-20.30 lakhs (ex-showroom).
