The highly anticipated 2023 Tata Safari facelift has officially broken cover, and it brings an array of exciting updates to India’s favorite SUV. Bookings are now open for this refreshed Safari, and it’s set to make waves with its revamped design, advanced features, and an expanded color palette. Here are the 5 key updates that stand out in the upcoming Tata Safari facelift:
1. Refreshed Exterior Design
Tata Motors has left no stone unturned when it comes to the exterior of the Tata Safari facelift. The front fascia sports a brand-new grille, complemented by a connected LED DRL strip that spans the width of the bonnet. The split-LED headlamps have been streamlined into a vertical stack, reminiscent of the Nexon and Nexon EV, lending a modern and cohesive look.
The side profile retains its iconic silhouette but now appears cleaner, featuring a fresh Safari badge design on the front doors and new 19-inch alloy wheels. The rear end also receives a makeover, boasting a redesigned bumper, a more prominent skid plate, and a connected tail lamp setup. Both the LED DRLs and taillamps greet you with dynamic welcome and goodbye animations.
2. Revamped Interior
Changes extend to the cabin, with the Tata Safari facelift receiving a revamped interior. The cabin features a new layered dashboard with a dual-tone finish and a gracefully curved bottom. The color scheme within the cabin varies based on the variant and exterior color, with themed dashboard and door inserts. A new 4-spoke steering wheel, adorned with a backlit Tata logo, enhances the interior’s aesthetic. The central console has been updated, accommodating a larger touchscreen display.
3. Advanced Infotainment & Technology
One of the standout additions to the new Safari is its advanced infotainment system. The SUV now boasts a 12.3-inch touchscreen information system, akin to the one recently introduced in the new Nexon EV. It supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, offering seamless connectivity.
Complementing the infotainment screen is a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, similar to the one found in the latest Nexon and Nexon EV models. It replaces the previously introduced 7-inch semi-digital instrument cluster available on lower variants.
4. Comfort Features
The 2023 Safari takes comfort and convenience to the next level. It now features dual-zone climate control for enhanced passenger comfort, along with a touch-based AC panel borrowed from the updated Nexon models. The Safari was already equipped with power-adjustable and ventilated front seats, and the 6-seater variant now offers ventilated second-row seats as well.
A standout feature is the gesture-enabled powered tailgate, adding a layer of convenience to everyday usability. In terms of safety, the new Safari boasts up to seven airbags and an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) with enhanced features, including adaptive cruise control.
5. New Color Options
The 2023 Tata Safari facelift arrives with a wider range of colors to choose from. In addition to existing options, three entirely new colors join the lineup: Cosmic Gold, Lunar Slate, and Supernova Copper. Inside the cabin, various themes match the exterior paint, offering a black and gray cabin, a black and beige cabin, and a black and tan brown cabin.
Price & Competition
The updated Tata Safari is expected to have a starting price of approximately Rs 16 lakh (ex-showroom) and is likely to be launched in the coming month. Its main rivals include the Mahindra XUV700, MG Hector Plus, and Hyundai Alcazar. The Tata Safari facelift is all set to take on its competitors with its refreshed look, advanced features, and enhanced driving experience. Stay tuned for more details and the official launch date!
