2023 Tata Safari facelift review: Family car with bachelor's spirit

• Decent styling updates on the outside
• Much more premium cabin than before
• No AWD or petrol engine option
• Tata Safari gets subtle but significant updates to its exterior styling while the cabin has been armed with newer features.

The Tata Safari is the flagship model for the Indian car maker that was first introduced in the country in 2021. At that time, the focus was as much on drawing inspiration from an iconic name as was on putting a brand-new model on a pedestal. This eventually resulted in the introduction of a three-row vehicle that promised SUV-like style but claimed MPV-like comfort. Fast forward just two years and the updated Tata Safari has a new wardrobe to show off in 2023.

Tata has been steadily increasing its focus on passenger vehicles that not just drive well and have top-notch safety credentials but look cutting-edge as well. Or at least extremely contemporary. Just look at the models like Altroz hatchback, the updated Nexon compact SUV and Nexon EV or even the latest Harrier SUV. Here are cars across different body types that showcase the current best that Tata Motors' designers have to offer. And it is a treat for sure. Towards this end, the new Tata Safari has been given a noticeable makeover as well even though it obviously retains its OG flavour.

And then there is the pivotal factor of in-car features - the more, the better, even if you end up not using a significant chunk of these in the long run. The Koreans started the trend and rivals like Tata Motors are only too keen to hit back. The Tata Safari, therefore, was always going to be pampered and peppered with features galore. So how do all of these factors come together to manifest in the flagship product from Tata Motors? Here is the first-drive review of the 2023 Tata Safari facelift:

Also watch: 2023 Tata Safari review: Family SUV with bachelor spirit?

2023 Tata Safari facelift: Exterior

The updated Safari looks a tad bit more sporty compared to the outgoing model, while still retaining its largely sophisticated exterior design language. The face, for instance, has been reworked and now sports a new grille, a reworked vertical housing for the fog lamps and headlights, and a stretched DRL bar that connects the sequential DRLs on either side. In a nutshell, the comprehensive updates of the front fascia have given the SUV a butch yet premium look, making it significantly distinctive from the previous model which it has replaced.

There is not much change in the side profile of the new Tata Safari SUV, apart from the reworked alloy design on the 19-inch wheels. The design is likely to evoke different reactions from different viewpoints instead of inviting unilateral awe. But what works really well is how Tata Motors' designers have managed to snub the use of chrome elements and still come up with a visually striking profile. Overall, the side profile of the SUV looks slightly curvy and pretty clean. The subtly flared wheel arches give the SUV a bold and muscular look, while the new design alloy wheels enhance the premium sporty feel.

There are no chrome elements on the rear of the Safari either, where a stretched LED bar connects the two tail lights and runs all across the length of the trunk door which, by the way, offers powered powered-open option. Besides that, the tailgate looks pretty sculpted thanks to the glossy black panel running through the centre of the trunk that also houses the sleek LED bar. The integrated roof spoiler and chunky black bumper with a thick metal skid plate are other design elements that come enhancing the SUV's bold visual appearance.

2023 Tata Safari facelift: Interior

The new Tata Safari's cabin has become much more premium now and a slew of updates to the feature list as well as to the upholstery lend the vehicle a premium appeal that would have otherwise been restricted to models in segments above the one this car competes in. The top-end Accomplished variant - or persona, as Tata Motors refers to it, comes with a dual-tone colour scheme inside the cabin but the White theme on the seats would be quite hard to maintain in pristine condition.

The layered dashboard now gets an artificial wood panel which is a nice touch while the central section is dominated by a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display unit that is intuitive, puts out clear feed from the 360-degree cameras and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The map feed can also be redirected to the all-digital driver display screen for better navigation which now sports customisable layouts.

The steering wheel has also been updated and is now a four-spoke set with mounted controls and has an illuminated Tata logo on it. This is certainly another nice touch from Tata Motors enhancing the premium quotient inside the cabin of the new Safari SUV. The updated steering wheel is quite easy to operate and control the advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) functionalities that this car offers, courtesy of the layout of the control buttons on the wheel. On that note, the new Tata Safari SUV offers 11 ADAS functions in a further bid to aid driving safety and convenience.

There are plenty of other convenience features that the new Safari packs as well, whether it is the dual-zone climate control function, air purification system, ventilated seats at the front and middle, voice-activated panoramic sunroof, Alexa to Home technology or remote access to the vehicle.

Space remains the same inside the cabin of the new Tata Safari, which means that the SUV continues to be a decently spacious vehicle for passengers in all three rows. Space in that third row, however, continues to come at the cost of a compromised boot storage space. But that's really expected, right?

Overall, the new Tata Safari SUV come as a very well-appointed vehicle with quite a lot of space for comfortable long trips but now, at least in the top-spec version, is significantly more premium than before.

2023 Tata Safari facelift: Safety

Tata Motors has been taking the front row across different segments in the Indian passenger vehicle market over the last few years when it comes to making safe cars. While the modern Tata cars come with a wide range of safety features, they also come with robust build quality as well. The Tata Safari facelift too comes following the same strategy.

The Tata Safari comes well-equipped with a host of safety features designed to provide peace of mind to the occupants. Some of the advanced safety technologies available onboard the Tata Safari facelift include multiple airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, electronic parking brake with auto hold, rain-sensing wipers, rollover mitigation, hill hold control, 360-degree view HD camera system, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and lane departure warning, front collision prevention function, blind spot detection etc. Moreover, it also gets features like ABS with EBD, Isofix child seat anchors etc.

Here are some of the key safety features onboard the Tata Safari.

• Seven airbags with six as standard
• Electronic stability control as standard
• Three-point seatbelts in all rows
• Seatbelt reminder for all passengers
• Isofix tethers
• Seatbelts with retractor, pre-tensioner, load limiter and anchor pretensioner
• Reinforced cabin structure promising to provide symmetric crash performance and side pole impact

Update: Keeping the trend of introducing safe cars in India, Tata Motors has delivered again with the new Safari and Harrier, as both these two SUVs have achieved five-star Global NCAP safety ratings for adult and child occupant categories. Besides that, the Tata Safari and the Tata Harrier SUVs scored a five-star safety rating at the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat NCAP or BNCAP) as well. While announcing the test results Bharat NCAP authorities have announced that the Tata Safari and Tata Harrier have scored five-star ratings with top-notch adult and child safety ratings in frontal, side and pole side impact tests.

2023 Tata Safari facelift: Performance

Here is where the updated Tata Safari SUV could have been improved so much more. But isn't. So much has already been mentioned - and experienced - about the 2.0-litre turbo diesel motor under the hood and the choice between an automatic gearbox and a six-speed manual stick. Yes, the turbocharged diesel motor could have been refined further. Yes, the grunt is still uncomfortably palpable when pushing the vehicle to its limits. But yes, the new Tata Safari - especially with the automatic transmission - is still quite a fun car to drive and has enough power to get a move on when required. The suspension continues to hold its own on rough roads and the steering still has a nice heft to aid matters.

But why this otherwise very capable model does not also come with a petrol engine under its hood is beyond the comprehension of many. Tata Motors is almost snubbing the petrol-buying audience in the country, a group that is steadily increasing. There is also no 4x4 option for the updated version of the SUV because the platform on which the new Tata Safari is based on does not allow for it. But here is also a miss, especially as this model does go up against authentic off-road options in the market as well.

2023 Tata Safari facelift: Verdict

The updated Tata Safari is a big step up in terms of its exterior design and cabin features and quality when compared to the previous model. Space has always been this car's strength but the additions to the feature list arm this SUV to the absolute teeth.

The diesel motor and the automatic transmission work extremely well in tandem but as mentioned previously, Tata Motors ought to strongly consider a petrol option for the model as well, especially considering the number of buyers favouring the petrol engines are increasing across India over the last few years

Tata has brought the Safari name back with its latest model, which is a seven-seat derivative of the Harrier. Unlike previous Safaris, which used ladder-frame chassis and traditional, rear-biased 4x4, the new one uses Land Rover's D8 platform (OmegaArc in Tata parlance) and is front-wheel-drive only. It's powered by a 170hp FCA-sourced 2.0-litre diesel engine, which can be had with either a six-speed manual or six-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox.

The new Safari is attractive, plush and well equipped, and with a genuinely useable third row is it makes a compelling case for itself. Sure, it’s not a versatile 4x4 as the original Safari was but see it as the three-row SUV for the family that it is, and you’ll find that Tata’s new flagship scores where it matters.

Pros & Cons of Tata Safari

• Comfortable third row
• Feels tough

The New Tata Safari

Not a chip off the old block but carrying on the legacy

June 2021     |     722 words     |     3-minute read

Tata Motors Ltd discontinued the original Tata Safari after nearly two decades of service and a few makeovers and updates. The brand obviously resonates with customers, so it is no surprise that the automotive giant reintroduced it.

The new Tata Safari is based on the Harrier but in an extended avatar, with some additional styling cues and a third row for passengers. In the new version, the third row seats are front facing — making them more comfortable, practical and safer.

The front design is similar to the Harrier’s with a judicious use of chrome for a more ‘premium feel’. The length and a stepped roof — instead of a sloping one — were necessary to give a raised seating to the passengers in the rear, for a clearer view through the front windscreen. This also meant there is enough headroom for third-row passengers. There are a lot of differences at the rear when compared to the Harrier. One can’t miss the fact that the rear hatch is straighter and the bumpers look leaner. The tail lamps are also larger than the ones on its smaller sibling. The alloy wheels look identical though. Maybe Tata Motors could have changed that.

In terms of size, the new Tata Safari is substantially longer than its older version but not as tall. Reason being that there is no need for it. Unlike the older Tata Safari, the third-row bench sits lower and access to it is through the middle doors and not the rear hatch. Two types of seating arrangements are being made available. You get proper captain seats for the middle row in the six-seater and a three-seat bench in the seven-seater version. The second-row folds flat and tumbles over in the seven-seater for accessing the third row, while in the six-seater you can simply walk through the space between the captain seats.

The powertrain is similar to the Harrier’s. So, the FIAT-sourced 2.0-litre diesel engine is the only one on offer. Tata Motors isn’t strapping a petrol yet, thanks to a steady demand and practicality for an oil burner in this segment. This is available with either a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual gearbox. Power figures are also identical — 170ps and 350Nm of torque. This is a proven unit but has noticeable diesel clatter noise, not vibrations; but with enough grunt at the low end to take the SUV (sports utility vehicle) flying past others.

The automatic version is quite convenient. It is easy to slot but cannot match the manual version’s response to throttle inputs. I guess a bigger, heavier SUV has taken a bit of the sheen off the box, as it works just right in the Harrier. The steering is also on the heavier side, which offers confidence at speed and you get a big SUV feel. The six-speed manual Tata Safari has a more exhilarating drive. No 4x4 is being offered, since takers for a more expensive four-wheel-drive are far and few. True, but it would have been a good connect to its ancestor and its quintessential off-roading ability. Maybe it will appear in future models. Fingers crossed.

The interiors

The interiors are pretty classy and look the part of a vehicle this segment and price. Tata Motors has added a premium-looking, oyster-white interior with an elegant, wood-finished dashboard. The seats are big, firmly cushioned and well contoured. The panels look rich and seem to be fitted well. The third-row — the main differentiator — is big enough to accommodate two average-sized adults. The rear has air-con fan controls on the right and two USB charging slots on the left. 

Under-thigh support in the third row isn’t as much as the second row because the floor is high and if the seats were any higher, headroom would have been an issue. There is room for one large suitcase with the third row up. But fold it and there is enough for any cross-country road trip.

Do not try to draw a parallel between the old and new Tata Safari, and it will be an interesting SUV for someone on the lookout for a well-built three-row SUV. A more relaxed drive in the automatic transmission or a peppier manual, the all new Tata Safari just got a wider audience than it ever had.

Introduction

SUVs are the rage, be it the smaller sub-four-metre or (arguably) micro-SUV kind or the full-sized, three-row kind, some even with their off-road credentials. The updated Harrier and Safari have returned to this bandwagon and brought along more than just a few new tricks up their sleeves. We recently had the opportunity to spend some time with the 2024 Safari, and here’s what we learned about it in its stint at the CarWale garage.

How practical is it?

On the practicality front, the Safari packs a Punch (no pun intended). It is spacious and has space for numerous nitty gritties, water bottles, and then some more. Climb into the driving seat and you have the electrically adjustable seat that eases the process of finding the right position. Additionally, the memory functions aid the convenience factor, and you won’t have to sit and search for the right position whenever shuffling with another driver. The front passenger seat even gets a Boss mode that allows it to be adjusted from the second row with the help of the buttons on the right side.

An underrated element in the second row is the mobile holder, positioned above the bottle holders on both sides, which keeps the phone lying flat, thus removing any anxiety of it falling, moving, or scratching. The occupants are also pampered with soft foam cushions sitting ahead of the standard headrests, reminiscent of a certain luxury sedan more than three times its price tag.

Then there are sun blinds in the second row that came to our much-needed rescue in the 40-degree heat on the day we were shooting. Legroom in the second row too is plenty, although the same can’t be said about the third row. The third row is best suited for short runs or intra-city trips.

A few things that work against the Safari include the smaller rear windshield that limits rear visibility and the AC vents for the third row positioned in front of the small windows, which make it marginally more claustrophobic. The white seat upholstery, while looking luxurious, tends to get soiled pretty fast and cleaning it isn’t an easy job either.

What’s on the feature list?

The Safari boasts a long feature list, like the panoramic sunroof that adds to the roomy feeling, complementing the white upholstery which also aids the feel of a spacious cabin. One of the party pieces is the new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which has a smooth UI and feels tactile to use. The front seats are also ventilated, but even at full chatter, they barely managed to give any respite from the terrible Mumbai heat. The fan noise in both units is fairly audible too, unless you have loud music or passengers talking.

The front row and second row both get USB and Type-C ports, something that is a sigh of relief for a select few like me who don’t have a Type-C to Type-C cable at our disposal. That said, you’ll never fall short of these ports as there is a set in the front armrest as well as in the second row. And if you manage to fill up all these slots, then there’s a wireless charger in the centre console of the dashboard.

The latter also houses the new touch-based unit for AC controls, which, although feels good to use, attracts a lot of scratches and dirt due to the Piano Black finish. Tata has made generous use of soft-touch elements, and the hard plastics on certain parts of the door certainly dampen the otherwise good feel.

The fit and finish, especially concerning quality, left us wanting for more. Certain panels were misaligned, one of which happened to be the point where the door and dashboard meet, visible in the photo above. One fact we noticed, weirdly enough, is that the second row doesn’t get its set of blower controls while the third row does.

What’s the fuel efficiency like?

The Safari has a claimed mileage of 14.08kmpl, thus translating into a range of approximately 704km, courtesy of the 50-litre diesel tank. We tested the fuel efficiency of the car, and it returned 10.97kmpl in the city and 13.94kmpl on the highway, hence resulting in an average of 12.40kmpl and a real-world range of 620km.

How does it perform on a daily commute?

Moving from a mid-size SUV (or, arguably a hatchback on stilts, as some would agree) as my daily driver to the Safari gave me a far more commanding seating position and a better view of the bonnet in all its glory, while the 360-degree camera made parking a breeze.

The steering of the Safari is fairly light to begin with, and builds up a little weight as you go faster, not as much to make it feel involving, and neither too light to make it feel dead. The ride quality is one of the best attributes of the SUV, as it glides over potholes, unpaved roads, and a lot more, all despite running on a set of 19-inch wheels.

Coming to the NVH, it can be a bit harsh on sudden acceleration but is overall on the quieter side at city speeds. The oodles of torque available from the lower range of rpm help the cause and ensure you have a smooth ride for the most part.

What’s the deal with the warranty?

The Tata Safari is offered with a standard warranty of three years or 1 lakh kilometres, whichever is earlier. Further, customers can choose from extended warranty packages of 3+1 years and 1.3 lakh kilometres or 3+2 years or 1.25 lakh kilometres.

Can you live with one?

The Safari then, comes up as an able SUV that can complete most of the jobs assigned to it. The diesel engine is frugal too, and will be the ideal companion on a road trip where it will effortlessly much miles and keep all the occupants happy with its ride quality, comfort, and an array of features. Yes, it does have its share of flaws as well, but then if we can make do with the flaws of other humans, I’m sure a few small issues with Safari won’t matter in the bigger picture as well.

Did I mention that the top-spec Safari (Accomplished Plus AT dual-tone), selling at Rs. 26.89 lakh commands a premium of just Rs.1 lakh over the top-spec Harrier (Fearless Plus AT dual-tone), as the latter has an asking price of Rs. 25.89 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom). Need I say more?

7 Key Things To Know About The New Tata Safari

There’s a new Tata Safari coming up. Tata is all set to bring back one of its classics- the Tata Safari.

With the stage set and all the things up and running, Tata seems to be confident about the SUV. As the news has been out, the Tata Gravitas is coming out with the classic Safari nametag this month.

While the Tata Gravitas has been spied quite a few times now and most of its exterior specifications have been speculated, this is new.

While there was an enthusiastic group of people waiting for Tata to launch the Gravitas, the Safari rebadging just adds to the nostalgia.

So, what are some things you need to know about the upcoming Safari hitting the roads this January? Let’s find out.

Republic Day Launch For The New Tata Safari

The Safari Name

There’s a reason behind why Tata is going with the Safari brand name for the Gravitas.

While speaking to an automobile magazine recently, Tata’s President, Passenger Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors, Mr Shailesh Chandra stated the reason.

As per his statement, the decision was taken keeping in mind the legacy that the Safari has left in the Indian car markets. He further stated that the car represented “power, prestige, performance and strong presence”.

The new Tata Safari will be powered by the same Kryotec diesel engine doing duty in the Harrier. The turbocharged engine produces 170 bhp and an impressive 350 Nm of torque.

New Tata Safari’s Interiors

The upcoming Safari shares many of its interiors from the Tata Harrier. It sports a similar 8-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system at the front. The Safari will be offered in 6 & 7 seater options. While the 6 seater version gets captain seats, the 7 seater version will sport bench seats.

The Safari is expected to be priced a segment above the Harrier. Considering that the Harrier costs somewhere between ₹13.49 lakhs to ₹20.30 lakhs, the new model is expected to sit above that.

4X4 Version Coming Soon

As if the launch of the vehicle wasn’t exciting enough, it is speculated that a 4×4 variant of the Safari will arrive soon.

The Tata Safari is based on Land Rover’s Omega-architecture, which is equipped to sport a 4WD system. This comes as a piece of exciting news for all the Safari loyalists and enthusiasts.

Harrier, But A Little Different

The Tata Safari seems quite identical to the Tata Harrier from the front. However, there is a slew of changes done to ensure a more efficient ride for Safari.

Tata has decided to play it safe by bringing back the Safari brand name. While for many this might be a marketing trick, for a large lot this is a ride back to the nostalgia.

Safari has changed the perception around SUVs in India. Will this one take the legacy forward? While the job seems tough, the car is equally loaded to accomplish it.

Loved the new Tata Safari but still finalised another Indian SUV

Once on the highway, it’s a smooth cruiser but not as smooth as the Mahindra XUV700.

BHPian sapien recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Did one final test drive of the latest Safari diesel AT before finalizing the only other Indian option in the segment.

Here are some quick observations

• Looks properly big from the outside, in terms of appearance, can manage to be in the same league as Fortuner if not the Legender.
• The interiors are a right balance of modern and timeless. Just the steering is overdone. Tatas are just getting better at interiors with each passing day. In terms of features, it’s super loaded, except for those ADAS lane functions which are likely to be enabled with a software update. Who would have thought cars would get OTA updates just a decade back?
• The drive felt uninspiring, quite a lot of engine noise when at idle, on the move it’s mild but noticeable. The pick up is good but not great, if you’re incremental with the accelerator input, it has a nice linear pull. It kind of nudges you to sit back and relax.
• Noise insulation is good, keep’s outside noises outside, other than that engine thrum. The vibrations are not much, but they are present in the background. Sound system is outstanding, probably the best in the segment.
• Once on the highway, it’s a smooth cruiser, and the new steering is very well-tuned, sporty on the highway but lighter in the city. It’s not XUV700 smooth though.
• Fuel efficiency is ~12 with a combination of city and highway driving, which is decent for such a huge vehicle! My petrol Tiago gives 14-15 on the same route.
• In terms of ride, it feels like a king, you are sitting on something really large and goes over rough patches without worrying too much. For the same reason, it doesn’t feel nimble and requires effort to change directions, feels ungainly! The Jeep Compass is still a benchmark in the ride and handling department. The XUV700 falls right in between, neither too sporty [Compass] nor too plush [Hector].

I really had my heart set on this one, but the mind prevailed.

New Tata Safari test mule spotted, could be all-electric version

 Tata Motors is working on several new models for the Indian market. The brand recently launched the Punch.ev but there are more electric vehicles that will soon be launched in the Indian market. One such model will be the Safari.ev. Recently, a test mule of the Safari was spotted on Indian roads which is interesting because the SUV is already on sale. Moreover, in the image, the exhaust pipe is not visible so there is a possibility that Tata Motors has started testing the electric version of the Safari. This does not come as a surprise because last year, Harrier.ev was also spotted in Pune.
