The Tata Safari spy shots have surfaced and reveal interior changes of the upcoming facelift. The company has been testing the Nexon, Safari, and Harrier for a while now and we can expect a launch around the festive season.
The major change could be a redesigned dash, steering wheel, and centre console, together it could result in a fresh look for the cabin. We can expect the steering unit that debuted on the Curvv and Avinya concept to make it to the Safari facelift with a small screen on the steering wheel and paddle shifters. Other features could include a new Range-Rover-inspired gear selector, new climate control switches, and toggle controls. We can also expect a wireless charging pad, ambient lighting, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ambient lighting, and USB ports to name a few.
The exterior changes could include a revised front and rear bumper, a revised grille, a light bar running across the width of the car for the front and the rear section, lines, and creases on the bonnet, alloy wheels, and redesigned headlamp and taillamp units. The overall silhouette is likely to remain unchanged.
The on-sale Tata Safari houses a 2.0-litre, in-line, four-cylinder, diesel engine mated to a six-speed automatic or manual producing 167 bhp at 3,750 rpm and 350 Nm of peak torque at 1,750-2500 rpm. But we can expect the company to offer a new petrol engine with both automatic and manual transmission options for the facelift. The Tata Safari rivals the likes of the MG Hector, and Mahindra XUV 500 to name a few.
