Tata Red Dark edition

Tata first showcased the Harrier and Safari Red Dark editions at Auto Expo 2023.

Red Dark editions feature Carnelian red seat upholstery.

Along with the updated iterations of the Harrier and Safari SUVs that are due to launch next month, Tata Motors seems to be preparing market introductions of the Red Dark editions of both these SUVs, as well as the popular Nexon. Latest teaser from Tata Motors confirms that the price announcement of the Nexon, Harrier and Safari Red Dark edition will take place tomorrow, February 22, 2023.

Tata Red Dark editions: What are they? 

At Auto Expo 2023 last month, the brand showcased Harrier and Safari Dark editions but with additional red accents and more features. The SUVs shown at Auto Expo were christened Tata Red Dark editions and had an all-black exterior, 18-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers and a subtle red insert on the grille.

Equipment-wise, the SUVs had a better touchscreen infotainment system, ADAS and a fully digital instrument cluster, and added safety in the form of six airbags. Other unique cosmetic bits include Carnelian Red seats with a quilted pattern, red grab handles, ventilated front seats, unique grey trim on the dashboard and a piano black theme on the steering wheel. They also had red ambient lighting and a few other bits. 

While the brand has not confirmed what all from this will actually make it to the production-spec Tata Nexon, Harrier and Safari Red Dark editions, we expect the feature list to be more or less similar to what was shown at Auto Expo 2023. 

As reported earlier, Tata Motors recently upgraded its entire passenger vehicle line-up to comply with the Bharat Stage 6 Phase-II norms, and this means there won’t be any mechanical changes seen on the updated Harrier, Safari or Nexon, or even on their Red Dark iterations.
