#TATA SAFARI OLD UPDATE#

Under the hood, the most significant update was the naturally aspirated 3.0-liter diesel for the home market and a PSA-sourced 1.9-liter turbo-diesel powerplant. But, despite the decent design, the material's quality was not among the best in class. The carmaker installed two large dials for the speedometer and tachometer and two gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature in the instrument panel. The dashboard featured a clean design with aluminum-like trims on the center stack. Inside, Tata installed a five or seven seats interior, with two jump-seats behind the rear bench. Its roofline featured a higher area over the trunk, resembling the Land Rover Discovery I, but that raise was needed to make room for additional passengers. A set of body-colored plastic moldings enhanced the car's look on the sides, along with a set of side steps. Its horizontal headlights featured corner-mounted turn signals with clear lenses. The car received new, wrapped-around plastic bumpers and a redesigned grille with a chromed surrounding on the outside. In 2005, the carmaker brought a second generation, which mainly looked like the first generation, but with better engines. Still, the carmaker continued producing it for its home market, where it checked the top of the sales charts in its segment. It was an instant success and, thanks to the 2.2-liter turbo-diesel version, it made it on the European continent, where its sales were slow. The Safari came on the Indian market in 1988, and it was the first original Indian SUV. But will it have the charm of the older model? We’ll be driving it soon to answer that question.Tata Motors was far from reaching international credits in 2005 when introducing the facelifted version for the Safari SUV model. However, the new Safari is more premium, feature loaded and sophisticated than the Storme. Its entry-level variant is likely to be priced around Rs 15 lakh (ex-showroom), which is around the same as a top-spec Safari Storme 4X4. The new Tata Safari, unlike the older model, won’t come cheap. The handling is expected to be more tied down, just like the Harrier, which it is based on. This has been fixed in the new model that comes with Land Rover’s D8-derived monocoque platform.

While the platform was tough enough to take an apocalypse, its highway manners were somewhat satisfactory to say the least. A similarity with the old Safari is the 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine. 8. Length (mm) 4810mm (with the spare wheel) 4661mm - 149mm.

The Safari was launched at a whopping Rs. The Safari completed Telcos trident 'Si-Su-Sa' (Sierra91, Sumo94). The previous Safari was underpinned by an X2 body-on-frame platform that also underpinned models such as the Aria/Hexa. Tata launched the Safari, as the first Made in India 4x4 SUV in 1998. Tata could introduce an all-wheel drive variant if demand persists as the platform is capable of taking up an AWD system.

You do have ESP-based off-road modes to play with in the new Safari, but let’s admit that software trickery ain’t as useful as proper hardware. However, the new one, which will initially come with a front-wheel drivetrain, is best for mild off-roading. It also fared pretty well off the beaten path if driven by sensible hands. The older Safari, known for its off-roading prowess, came with an optional four-wheel drivetrain. It also utilises a completely different drivetrain as the new one spins its front wheels rather than the rear.

The Safari, for the first time, will come with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which will be sold alongside the 6-speed manual variant. The base variants of the Safari Storme came with a lower-spec 140PS/320Nm 2.2-litre diesel engine. While it's more powerful than the older Safari’s 156PS 2.2-litre diesel engine, the new one falls short on pulling power. The new Safari utilises a FCA-sourced 2.0-litre diesel engine that puts out 170PS of power and 350Nm of torque. These features weren’t offered in the older Safari.Ī More Powerful, But Less Torquier Diesel Engine Features such as a panoramic sunroof, climate control, 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and 7-inch colour screen in the instrument cluster will be borrowed from the Harrier. It will come with connected car tech and is likely to have powered tailgate and electronic parking brake over the Harrier. Most importantly, the side-facing jump seats have been replaced with forward-facing seats, which are safer and more comfortable. The seating layout is also different from the Storme as you can have it either as a 6-seater or a 7-seater.
