The current generation of the Tata Safari Strome won’t meet new safety norms and the BS6 emission standards that will be enforced from 1st April, 2020. And upgrading the existing model doesn’t justify the investment that will be required.
Tata dealers are currently in the process of clearing the remaining stock and are not taking new bookings for the vehicle. In fact, the test drives of the SUV have been stopped at select dealerships in Delhi. All hints that the Tat Safari Strome will soon be discontinued in India.
