9ree that from the front it looks like the harrier,but that’s where the similarities end,because the Safari will be 60mm longer and 80mm taller than the harrier.The thing that most people are worried about is that the iconic Safari silhouette has been lost.At the front it will have the same 3 lighting design with the LED strip at the top,below it will be a bulb and projector headlamp setup and below that will be a foglamp setup.At the back the safari will have the same tall appearance as before with a tasteful use of exhaust designs and LED tail lamps.To distinguish it from the much smaller Harrier,Tata will give an option of new colours and new alloy wheels,which by the way will be of the same size as the Harrier’s (18 inches).The Safari will use the same 2.0 litre 170 HP kryotech turbodiesel engine giving out 350 NM of torque.On the inside there is nothing special except the new(not exactly) 8.8 inch touchscreen.The safari will also have 9 JBl speaker soundsystem.The gear lever,depending on the trim you get,will have piano black finish which will be mated to a 6 speed manual or automatic gearbox.The ride quality isn’t that bad,but,it is significantly better than the last safari.The new car won’t be a 4×4 until the time of launch.That doesn’t mean that the idea of a 4×4 is off the table.Tata motors have said that they will make a 4×4 variant of the Safari if the demand increases.The starting price of the Safari is said to be from Rs13.84 lakh all the way up to Rs20.30. The panoramic glass roof makes the cabin feel very spacious and airy.After this,it seems that the upcoming XUV 500 would have the Safari on the ropes,but don’t be so sure.The huge advantage that the Safari will have now is the fully functioning 3rd row of seats which is not for occasional uses only.It is designed to carry 2 full sized adults for long distances.The Safari will be offered in 3 seating layouts,5 seater,6 seater and a 7 seater.The turning circle will be 11.6 meters which is also the same as the harrier.Top speed will be 170kmph.The curb weight varies from variant to variant.The lightest would be the 5 seater variant with a total weight of 1756 kgs next up,the 6 seater variant with a total weight of 1815 kgs and the last one,the heaviest at 1825 kgs is the 7 seater variant.There will be a lot of variants available,11 in total.I’ll explain it to you in the simplest way possible.Okay here we go;XE,XN,XT,XT(Optional),XZ(6 seater),XZ(7 seater),XZ+(7 seater),XZA,XZA+,XZA+(6 Seater)and the top of the line XZA+(7 Seater).Of course the Safari being a car from Tata motor ,it will definitely be safer than most of the cars on the road and the build quality will be good too.
