Moreover, kit, like an air purifier, wireless charger, and wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which also debuted on the Safari range with the Gold edition, have now found its way to the standard variants.
Updated Tata Safari: no mechanical changes
The recent round of updates is limited to the equipment list, and there are no changes under the hood. As such, the Safari continues to be powered by a 170hp, 350Nm, 2.0-litre diesel engine. A 6-speed manual or a 6-speed auto gearbox help put down the power through the front wheels.
Updated Tata Safari: rivals in India
The Safari takes on the Hyundai Alcazar and MG Hector Plus, and soon enough, it’ll also have to contend with the Mahindra XUV700's 7-seat variant.
