Tata has just unveiled the Safari for the Indian market. The SUV will launch next month with the bookings starting from 4th February. The SUV was previously shown at the Auto Expo 2020 as the Gravitas Concept. The Safari gets the same 2.0-litre Kyrotec diesel engine as the Harrier. The engine is capable of producing 170 PS of max power and 350 Nm of peak torque. It is offered with a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The new flagship of Tata Motors will compete against the MG Hector Plus and the upcoming Mahindra XUV500. The Safari is offered in six variants, namely XE, XM, XT, XT+, XZ, and XZ+. As there are a lot of variants to choose from, it can be a bit confusing to choose the right one. So, we help you by explaining what all things do each variant offers.
XE
The range kicks off with the XE variant. For a base variant, Tata offers quite a bit of safety equipment as standard. You get dual front airbags, ESP, hill hold assist, rollover mitigation, traction control, rear disc brakes, rear parking sensors, central locking, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, projector headlights, Daytime Running Lamps and roof rails as standard. There is also cornering stability control, brake disc wiping, ABS with EBD, perimetric alarm system, power windows, 60:40 split for second-row seats, 50:50 split for third-row seats and a smart charger for the second and third row.
