Tata Motors has finally unveiled the new Safari and this will be positioned as the new flagship in the carmaker’s portfolio. As we already know, the Safari is essentially the six or seven-seater version of the Harrier. It was earlier last year at the Auto Expo when we got the first glimpse of the Safari (named Gravitas). It was showcased at the Tata Buzzard for the first time in 2019 at the Geneva Motor Show.

The new Tata Safari is underpinned by the Land Rover D8 derived Optimal Modular Efficient Global Advanced Architecture (OMEGARC) platform which also spawns the five-seater Harrier. Just like the Tata Harrier, even the Safari adorns the new IMPACT 2.0 design philosophy, but will feature subtle design changes. For instance, the SUV gets a new front grille with the tri-arrow theme design. It is 70 mm longer than the Harrier, while its width and wheelbase will remain unaltered.
