The 2021 Tata Safari is already quite the premium SUV you'll ever need. With prices ranging from INR 14.69 lakh to INR 21.45 lakh (ex-showroom), it comes plenty loaded with features and an unmistakably SUV personality - both very important aspects for a typical Indian SUV buyer. The Safari is Tata's new flagship product in India and is available in 7 different trims - XE, XM, XT, XT+, XZ, XZ+ and Adventure Persona. If the stock trims do not impress you enough already, Tata is offering several accessories and packages with the new Safari that will give you the option to bling it out even more.
On the exterior of the new Safari, Tata
Motors is offering additional accessories such as a cycle mount, a roof rack
with a load-bearing capacity of up to 75kg (non-sunroof variants only), and
chrome accents on the exhaust, bumpers, tailgate, and door visor. You can also
opt for a chrome 'Safari' lettering on the bonnet, mud flaps, side steps,
underbody lighting, and front parking sensors. On the inside, you get accessories
such as an infotainment system for the rear passengers - a first by any Indian
carmaker - wireless charger, a front camera with display, puddle lamps, a coat
hanger, an air purifier, 3D mats, sun shades, scuff plates, neck rest/cushions,
and an anti-skid dash mat.
The Safari Adventure Edition can be
further specked with accessories such as a wheel step, bonnet scoops, a
dashcam, backseat organiser, jerry cans, and an emergency tool kit. While all
the above accessories can be opted for individually, Tata Motors have also
clubbed these accessories in seven different packs for added convenience.
Accomplished
This package brings in some chrome accents
for the exhaust, rear tailgate, and rear bumper. It also adds mud flaps, chrome
'Safari' lettering on the bonnet, and puddle lamps. On the inside, the package
brings in air purifier, neck-rest/cushions, scuff plates, and sunshades.
Accomplished Pro
The Accomplished Pro package brings
everything that already comes with the Accomplished package, but additionally
gets front parking sensors, side steps, underbody lighting, rear passenger
infotainment system, and a wireless charger.
Adventure
This package brings in features which
include a dashcam, 3D mats, side steps,
front parking sensors, bonnet scoops, air purifier, scuff plates, and a back
seat organiser. The interiors get some nifty accessory options such as dashcams
and rear passenger entertainment screen which really up the appeal of the SUV.
Adventure Pro
Already including everything that the
Adventure pack brings with it, the Pro package additionally gets a wheel step,
cycle mount, roof rack, jerry cans, and luggage bags. This is one of our
favorite packages, given its practicality, and should also be the go to package
if you intend to use your Safari for rugged and adventure purposes.
Design
As the name already suggests, the package
adds some feature to enhance the look of the SUV. These include chrome elements
on the faux exhaust, rear tailgate, and rear bumper as well as mud flaps and
the ‘Safari’ logo on the bonnet.
Safety
The Safety package brings in a few
features that enhance the safety aspect of the SUV. That includes an air
purifier, underbody lighting, front parking sensors, a front camera, and a tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Comfort
Lastly, the Comfort package increases the
convenience quotient of your Safari. It brings in features such as puddle
lamps, scuff plates, an air purifier, carpet, neck-rest/cushions, and
sunshades. There are several chrome exterior accents available as part of the packages
as well.
Under the hood, the Tata Safari is powered by the Harrier's
Fiat-sourced 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that produces 168 bhp and 350
Nm of peak torque. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque
converter automatic gearbox. Just like the Harrier, the Safari too is based on
the Land Rover-derived Omega architecture. Currently, the only rival for the
Tata Safari in the Indian market are the MG Hector Plus and the current-gen
Mahindra XUV500 as other three-row mid-size SUVs in this class. However, it
will soon be joined by the likes of the 7-seater version of the Hyundai Creta
and the upcoming next-gen Mahindra XUV500.
