By releasing the Safari with a petrol engine in India for a starting price of ₹13.29 lakh (ex-showroom), Tata Motors has increased the attractiveness of its flagship SUV. The Safari, which was previously exclusively offered with a diesel drivetrain, is now part of the expanding range of petrol-powered models intended to appeal to a larger group of SUV purchasers who value petrol performance and refinement.
This launch represents a deliberate move towards more adaptable engine options across Tata's SUV portfolio and comes after the company introduced petrol versions of its well-liked Harrier SUV.
Highlights of the Engine and Performance
A brand-new, internally built 1.5-liter TGDi Hyperion turbo-petrol engine powers the Safari petrol. This unit, which is tuned to generate about 168 horsepower and 280 Nm of torque, finds a mix between powerful performance and practicality.
Depending on their preferences, buyers can select a six-speed torque-converter automatic or a six-speed manual gearbox.
This gasoline engine offers competitive power for both city driving and interstate cruising since it has been optimised to fit the size and weight of the Safari.
Features, Seating, and Trim Levels
A wide range of variations are available for the petrol Safari, including Smart, Pure X, Adventure X Plus, Accomplished X, and versions up to the Accomplished Ultra Red #Dark editions. Six-seat and seven-seat configurations are available for some trims, and both gearbox options are available throughout the range.
The Safari's interior features include a 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Dolby Atmos and digital and electronic IRVMs with built-in dash cam, memory-equipped ORVMs, and powered/ventilated front seats.
Position in the Market and Safety
Tata continues to place a high priority on safety, as seen by the gasoline Safari's five-star Bharat NCAP safety rating across all models, a crucial distinction in the cutthroat SUV market.
The petrol Safari competes with competitors like the Hyundai Alcazar, MG Hector Plus, and Mahindra XUV7XO, offering a tempting blend of performance, features, and comfort. Prices range from ₹13.29 lakh to the top-end variants, about ₹25 lakh (ex-showroom).
