Tata’s two popular SUVs – Harrier and Safari – are ready to receive major updates in early 2023. The company has been testing both models for a while and we got our hands on some interesting details. The 2023 Tata Safari facelift is likely to come with slightly improved design. Most of the cosmetic changes will be made at the front fascia. It will feature a new grille with silver finish holes and more circular headlamps with sharper LED DRLs. The carmaker might offer a couple of new colour schemes.
The new Safari facelift could be one of the first Tata cars to come with the ADAS (advanced driver assistance system). It will offer safety features such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring system, front collision warning, collision mitigation system (CMS), driver monitoring system (DMS), lane departure warning system (LDWS), electronic stability control (ESC) and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The SUV might also be equipped with a 360 degree camera. The touchscreen infotainment unit could be bigger than the existing one and support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
Currently, the Tata Safari SUV model lineup comes in a total of 36 variants including Dark Edition, Adventure Edition, Kaziranga Edition, Jet Edition and Gold Edition. Features such as leatherette upholstery, iRA connected car features, panoramic sunroof, 9 speaker JBL audio system, an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, part digital instrument cluster with 7.0-inch TFT display, 6-way electric adjust driver seat, 6 airbags, hill descent control, Isofxi child seat anchors and auto dimming rear view mirror will be carried forward from the current model.
Under the hood, the new 2023 Tata Safari facelift will employ the same 2.0L diesel engine with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox. The motor delivers a claimed power of 168bhp and 350Nm of torque.
The updated Safari and Harrier SUVs are expected to make their debut at the 2023 Delhi Auto Expo in January.
