Tata Motors has rolled out the 10,000th unit of the new Safari SUV from its Pune-based manufacturing facility. The carmaker produced 100 units of the three-row SUV in February 2021 and despite all restrictions it managed to manufacture 9,9000 units in less than four months. The company says that the new 2021 Tata Safari has been favoured for its “dynamic design, comfortable 3rd row seat, premium interior, spirited driving experience and safety features”.

At present, the new Safari commands market share of 25.2% in the premium 7-seater SUV segment. The home-grown carmaker holds 41.2% market share in the high SUV segment (Q1, FY22), thanks to the Safari and Harrier.
At the heart of the new 2021 Tata Safari is the same 2.0-litre Kryotec turbocharged diesel engine that does duty in the Harrier. The oil burner pushes out a peak power of 170bhp and 350Nm of torque. Similar to the Harrier, the three-row SUV comes with the 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque convertor automatic gearbox options.
The new Safari underpins the Land Rover-derived Omega architecture that’s compatible to the 4WD (four-wheel-drive) system and electric powertrains. Currently, the new Tata 7-seater SUV is available with the 2WD drivetrain system. The model lineup might receive new 4×4 variants at a later stage.
The new Tata three-row SUV can be had with either 6-seats layout with a bench seat in the middle row or the 7-seats configuration with captain’s seats in the second row. It has new Black and Beige interior theme with design similar to the Harrier.
The new Safari comes equipped with a 7.0-inch digital display in the instrument cluster, an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with iRA connected car tech, an electronic parking brake, a 9-speaker JBL audio system, a panoramic sunroof, terrain response modes, xenon HID headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, 6 airbags and many more.
