• Tata Motors has revived the legendary nameplate with the new Safari
• It started as the Buzzard concept, then it became Gravitas and now Safari
• Pre-bookings for the new Safari will begin on February 4, 2021

The famed Tata Safari is back!! The car was once the most aspired vehicle for many a middle-class buyer. Its good looks and large proportions won it a legion of fans - since its debut over two decades ago. We last saw a Safari on sale in a Tata Motors showroom back in 2019... And now it has returned with an all-new generation. The car that's ready for launch has had an interesting metamorphosis - especially with its name. The 'three-row Harrier' or H7X, started as the Buzzard at the Geneva Motor show in 2019, became the Gravitas when it debuted in India at the Delhi Auto Expo a year later. And now after almost another year, it's market-ready with another rechristening! Now I have to say, I'm not one of the people who buys the theory that this car was always supposed to be named the Safari! If you ask me, the Harrier should have been the Safari, and I have said that now for some time, so I won't drone on about it. What I will say though, is that visually the side profile is where you do pick up hints of the Safari on this newer car. And that is intentional.

The Tata Safari takes its design cues from the Harrier that are hard to miss but the overall presence is larger and more imposing.

But any similarity to the old Safari is way overshadowed by how much the car will remind you of the Harrier. The new Safari looks like the Harrier, but there are subtle differences. The front grill has Tata's 'tri-arrow' motif that design chief Pratap Bose has spoken of at length. The Harrier has a mesh or honeycomb-like pattern. I actually like the chrome detailing on the grille. There is more chrome around the headlamp housing, while on the harrier the fog lamp housing is surrounded by a similar chrome edging. 18-inch alloy wheels on the top end XZ variant only (all other variants get 16-inchers, and yes on the Harrier it is also 16, and the top-end gets 17-inch wheels). The Tata Safari drives in with an identical wheelbase to the Harrier, so for those of you who may have thought this is a long wheelbase version - think again. But the car is longer overall by 63 mm to the Harrier. And that stretch comes on the rear overhang. The boot space is longer, and the bumper and tailgate have a different design and angle as compared to the Harrier.

Similarities with the older Safari are more evident on the profile

As a result, there is no sleek slimmed down C-pillar merging into the rear - like in the harrier but a distinct separation - with a big window added to give the third row more light and sense of space. There is a stepped roof that is a very Safari-esque and it's been intentionally done. The roof rails are different - and get a chrome detail with the Safari badge, as well as a roof rail side cap - another hark back to the older Safari. The new tailgate and fenders also give you new taillights that are very different to the Harrier's. The chrome door handles are a definite NO for me, but I can see why the top variant would need that given the competition set. Overall though the Safari is good looking, but let us not beat about the point that it definitely looks like a 'Harrier Plus'.

Like the Harrier, the new Tata Safari is also built on the Land Rover D8 platform derived Optimal Modular Efficient Global Advanced Architecture or OMEGARC. It is 4661 mms long and 1786 mm high, which is 80 mm more than the Harrier - largely owing to that stepped roof. The width of 1894 mm, and more importantly the wheelbase of 2741 mm remain exactly the same as the Harrier. There are just 3 colour options on the Tata Safari - Royale Blue, Daytona Grey and Orcus White.

The cabin is upmarket with the 'Oyster White' theme and spacious too, especially with that massive  panoramic sunroof,

Tech and Interior

The cabin's colour palette is nothing like the Harrier's. The 'oyster white' theme is rather plush looking. The dash in dual tone black and white looks appealing and the 8.8-inch floating island touchscreen system sits right in the centre. It is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice recognition and voice alerts. Tata's now famous iRA or Intelligent Real Time Assist connected car tech also finds a place in the Safari. It comprises location-based services, remote commands and live vehicle diagnostics among other features like voice commands. The mid variants get a 7" screen. But in an era where even smaller cars like the i20 or Sonet have a 10.25-inch screen - these may seem small.

The feature list is extensive on the new Safari and on par with what you've come to expect with a Rs. 20 lakh worth vehicle like the electronic parking brake or iRA connected car tech

The feature list is pretty long and that you expect in a car that will cost around Rs. 20 lakh. Just like the touchscreen, the 9-speaker JBL system, 7-inch TFT display instrument cluster, electrically adjustable driver side seat, leatherette upholstery, and electronic parking brake only find their way in this top XZ variant of the SUV. The addition of the electronic parking brake, in particular, is a welcome addition, and it certainly gives the Safari an upper hand over its rivals. The option of a big panoramic sunroof which called the Majestic Skydome by Tata is available on the top 2 variants while captain seats on the second row are only available on this top trim. All other trims get a bench seat with a 60:40 split ratio. Using the 'boss mode' the front passenger seat can be pushed forward, a feature that helps create more legroom in row two. You can also slide the second-row seats and recline them.

Access to the third row is cumbersome but all-around space isn't all that bad. Adults will fit in but definitely not where you want to be for long distances

Access to the third row is a bit cumbersome though, as a result of the wheelbase not being increased. In its presentation to us, Tata Motors said the third row is very comfortable, very generous, and very well designed - even for long distances. Every carmaker who makes a car with three rows will tell you the same about their car! But the truth is - the only vehicles which have comfortable third rows are large inter cities buses (they also have great fourth and fifth rows)! Now that said, yes, I have to appreciate the sense of space in the Safari's third row - pretty remarkable given that the length of the vehicle has only increased by 63 mm. You get 889 mm of headroom and 832 mm of legroom back here. Under-thigh support is kind of non-existent. But you do get a sense of reasonable comfort, at least for short distances - even for someone with my height; and that's because the seat back angle is well proportioned and well designed. So, definitely great for kids, and not so bad for adults - but not for very long distances. What's also nice is that you also get your own AC vents here with your own blower control, 2 USB ports, cupholders, and a little bit of space for storing a few things.

The cargo space fully expands to a humongous 1658 litres on the new Tata Safari with the second and third-row folded

So how much is then left for you to carry your luggage if the third row is in play? Like most 3-row cars, not too much, because what's left is just 73 litres. You can fold down the third row and the 3-seater second-row bench. Third row down gets you 750 litres, which is more than the Harrier. Second row folded gives you a cavernous 1658 litres.

The 2021 Tata Safari will be offered with a manual and automatic transmission right from the launch. There is just the 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel for now

Now we know this engine from before. The 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo-diesel does duty on the Harrier as well, and nothing changes when it comes to figures. At your disposal is maximum power of 168 bhp and peak torque of 350 Nm which kicks in at 1750 rpm and stays on till 2500 rpm. The good thing is that unlike a few of its recent cars, including the Harrier, Tata is offering an automatic and manual from word go. I began driving the 6-Speed manual first. The car handles well, there is a reasonable sense of cornering, good amount of control, and you don't get a sense of the big bulk of the car - at first. But get to higher speeds and you certainly do. And that's where some body roll creeps in, which is a little bit annoying. Outside of that, I think the stellar achievement of Tata engineering is just how great the ride quality is!

The automatic is particularly nice on the new Tata Safari and does the job well. A lot of buyers in this space will particularly appreciate its availability

The suspension is really well-tuned for our roads. And so, on the whole, the Fiat-derived drivetrain does well. But the gearshift can still get a bit smoother, and its throws too could be shorter. That just adds to the feeling of bulk. But what is evident is that there isn't too much lag. Another thing that I noticed is that the turning radius is pretty sharp for a car of this size, so manoeuvring in city traffic and parking should not be a big hassle.

There is a notable difference between how the new Tata Safari drives between Eco and Sport mode. There isn't 4x4 though as Tata says the market for the same is too small

The automatic gearbox is something a lot of carandbike readers and viewers have been asking about. The Harrier got it last year and yes, the Safari gets the same one. This Hyundai sourced torque converter gearbox is very easy to use, and from the performance perspective - you won't be disappointed. Is it electric and really quick? Of course not, but then we are also a little spoiled by the DCTs that so many cars have these days. It is smart that tata finally understood that an auto is a must - especially because I do believe in this segment in particular, a lot of people will want an automatic. The automatic Safari certainly feels like a more refined car to drive, and given a choice I would go for it over the manual. And since the Land Rover DNA is at play, Tata says the car is equipped enough to take on challenging terrains, even without all-wheel drive. Plus, the signature tri-arrow patterns is used on the automatic Safari's gear-shifter as well.

The 2021 Tata Safari comes with three different driving modes - City, Eco and Sport and it gets a terrain response system

Like many Tata models the Safari also gets drive modes so you have City, Eco and Sport and yes there is perceptible difference between City and Sport for sure. But there is also a terrain response system a la Land Rover. Rough Road mode, Wet mode and then back to the default City drive mode. And that is where the big question comes in about the Safari brand name. To a lot of people, the Safari name is synonymous with 4 Wheel Drive. Tata insists that it's too small a market in terms of actual percentage of buyers who'd opt for 4X4 version, for the company to actually make one. But the platform supports it, and so adding one in later will not be tough. But not having a 4X4 (from a brand perspective) could hurt the Safari, but from the sales perspective, okay I agree - it probably will not.

The top variants get 6 airbags, hill descent control, ISOFIX child seat mounts on the new Safari

The list of safety features is long here. Dual airbags, ABS or antilock brakes with ESP or electronic stability programme, disc brakes on all wheels, hill hold control and traction control - all come as standard. 6 airbags, hill descent control and ISOFIX child seat mounts can be found only on this top trim. You also get a tyre pressure monitoring system, cruise control and a reverse parking camera.

Tata Motors could keep things aggressive and undercut the competition with a sub Rs. 14 lakh pricing

Expected Pricing

Bookings for the Tata Safari will begin on the 4th of February at a cost of Rs. 30,000, though of course we still await a price announcement. The car will likely be offered in 4 trims. Tata would do well to keep the prices close to the Harrier, which starts at Rs. 13.99 lakh and goes up to Rs. 19.05 lakhs (ex-showroom). For reference, the diesel MG Hector Plus is priced between Rs. 14.66 and 19.13 lakh, while the diesel Toyota Innova Crysta ranges from Rs. 16.64 lakh to Rs. 24.33 lakh. Tata would do well to undercut them both, as also keep an eye on the upcoming second-generation Mahindra XUV 500.

Should you buy a used Tata Safari?

Not many cars in India enjoy a cult status like the Tata Safari. The rugged ladder-frame chassis SUV gained popularity in the early 2000s before going out of production. When Tata Motors resurrected the name in 2021, it faced initial challenges. Firstly, the new Safari was based on the monocoque Harrier (a soft-roader), taking a distinct approach from its rudimentary predecessor. However, over time, the Safari started gaining traction and is now one of the most popular full-size SUVs in India. Arguably one of the best Tata models in terms of engineering, refinement and overall quality, the Safari features a fantastic powertrain combination along with a well-built cabin that appeals to most buyers looking for a 7-seater SUV. As a used buy, the Tata Safari is an excellent choice and here are some reasons why we think so. 

Table of Contents

Why you should consider the tata safari, the powertrain, feature loaded, road presence and design, ride quality, how old should your pre-owned tata safari be, what to look out for when you buy a used tata safari, how much should a pre-owned tata safari cost, is a used tata safari worth buying in 2023.

As an SUV the Safari is hard to fault. It ticks almost all the boxes leaving little to no reason to not recommend one today. And as far as monocoque 7-seater SUVs go, the Tata Safari is right up there with some of the best in India. However, keep reading if you’re looking for more reasons why a used Tata Safari might just be the right SUV for you. 

One of the USPs of the Safari is its powertrain combination. On the propulsion side, it makes use of the tried-and-tested Fiat 2.0-litre Multijet engine which Tata calls the Kryotec 2.0-litre diesel. This is one of the best diesel engines in India and one that powered at least 17 cars at one time when diesels were popular. Output figures are rated at a solid 170PS along with a thick 350Nm. The torque figure comes in between 1750 rpm and 2500 rpm making the Safari extremely peppy at low rpms and city limits. The engine itself is great but what accentuates its performance are the 6-speed manual and automatic gearboxes along with various drive modes for every occasion. If a powerful SUV that can do inter-state road trips without breaking a sweat is what you’re looking for, the Tata Safari sounds about right. 

Modern Tata models, including the Safari, have been prioritising feel-good and tech features. The Safar stands out with a wide variety of features across different categories including safety. Noteworthy highlights include ADAS, a 10-speaker sound system, connected car tech, second-row ventilated seats, ambient lighting, terrain response mode, paddle shifters, a fully digital instrument cluster, a 360-degree camera, 12.3-inch touchscreen unit, and more. It’s worthwhile to note that some of these features were recently introduced with the major facelift this year. That said, the earlier Safari models from 2021 are also loaded to the brim with kit, leaving little to be desired in contrast to its rivals. 

The Safari is based on Land Rover’s D8 platform. Thanks to this, the SUV has size and road presence on its side. It is a huge SUV with a long 2741mm of wheelbase. Despite being based on a Monocoque platform, the Safari can be tagged as a full-size SUV unlike its sibling, the 5-seater Harrier. Tata’s contemporary design language works with this to make the Safari an imposing SUV with a great design language. It is not boxy like a conventional SUV and the Safari still manages to turn necks due to its striking design language. 

Since its early days, Tata has faced challenges in the passenger car segment. But a key quality of all Tata cars has always been the ride quality which still shines through. The Safari takes it to another level, offering a remarkably flat ride experience that is unaffected by the varied conditions of Indian roads. Despite being a high-riding SUV, Tata’s engineers have skillfully tuned the dampers to strike a harmonious balance between ride and handling. The result is one big SUV that effortlessly navigates rough terrains, and maintains composure even at high speeds, thus, inspiring confidence in the driver. 

The new Tata Safari was first launched in 2021, making it relatively new as far as used cars go. The current facelifted version packs the most features, including the RDE-compliant diesel engine and the space-age ADAS tech for safety. Nevertheless, the older versions are also loaded with everything you can expect. If the budget permits, you can look at the numerous special editions of the Safari that come with additional cosmetic and feature enhancements. One that we highly recommend is the Dark Edition and the Red Dark Edition if you prefer a contrasting colour scheme.

The Tata Safari is a new SUV to the market and as such, not many issues have been reported to date. But we still managed to find some unhappy customers and here are some of the issues that were documented by them:

Shuddering Issues

A common issue that can be seen in forums are engine shuddering and vibration caused by engine components or the fuel system. These issues have been fixed by Tata over time but do look out for anything when you test-drive a pre-owned one. This is more prevalent in the early 2021 models, so make sure you check for any vibrations if it’s an early model. 

Lacking After-sales Support

Tata and after-sales support is not a love story that is better than twilight. Things have changed drastically over the years but this is one area where the Indian automotive giant has enough and more room to improve. Safari customers have reported poor service support and below average interactions from various dealers across the country. Customers also report the brand has not been addressing issues on time making the whole ordeal even more frustrating. 

Premature Suspension Wear

There have also been some reports of premature front suspension wear. This is usually accompanied by a loud noise from either side. Tata generally swaps the faulty suspension with a new one but customers have reported issues with cars running not many kilometers which is not ideal for an expensive SUV. 

Apart from this also note that the Safari is only offered with a diesel engine which might limit its appeal in the near future when diesels go extinct and regulations become stricter. The SUV also loses out on some of its rivals as it lacks a full AWD system. The 2023 model year Safari has been tested by the Global NCAP with a 5-star safety rating. However, this does not apply to the older models which haven’t been tested yet and is unlikely to be tested as well.

Tata is currently pricing the Safari between Rs 16.19 to Rs 27.34 lakh (ex-showroom). When factoring in all additional costs, the on-road price for the top-spec models easily exceeds Rs 33 lakh. If spending such a sum on a Safari seems extravagant or falls outside your budget, opting for a used Tata Safari definitely makes sense. There are examples of high-spec models starting from just Rs 17.32 lakh and going all the way to Rs 22.14 lakh in cities such as Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Bangalore. 

As a full-size SUV that can take 6/7 adults across states at high speeds and comfort, the Safari is one of the best in its segment. It looks the part, drives like a modern SUV and packs more than what you want in a SUV today. A pre-owned Safari makes absolute sense considering the price of a new one today. You essentially get the same SUV with the same powertrain options. There have been cosmetic and feature additions and the 5-star safety rating, but the fact that a 2-year old Tata Safari is available for almost half the price of a new one makes it a compelling proposition that is hard to ignore.

Pick from popular cities, buying a used tata safari: what to look out for.

Very few SUVs are as spacious and comfortable for seven people as the Safari. We help you buy a used example.

Longer rear overhang and upright tailgate mark it out from the Harrier.

GOOD FOR: Spacious 7 seats, Build quality

LOOK OUT FOR: Infotainment issues, Dirty upholstery

Tata revived its famed Safari name tag in 2021 for its new Harrier-based three-row SUV. Comfy and spacious, it makes for an ideal family SUV, but before you go ahead and add a used Safari to your garage, there are some things worth keeping in mind.

The Safari comes in both 6-seat and 7-seat layouts; the former, which is only available on the top-spec XZ+ variant, gets captain seats in the middle row, while the latter gets a bench setup. Based on the Harrier, you’d expect the Safari to be spacious in the first two rows of seats, and it is, but it is also comfortable in the third row even for adults. 

Tata Safari powertrain

Like the Harrier, the Safari is powered by a 170hp, 350Nm, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder diesel. You don’t have a choice of engines with the Safari but you can pick between the 6-speed manual and the 6-speed torque converter automatic transmissions. While the manual works fine, the Safari feels much better suited to the auto gearbox and it’s more convenient as well.

At launch, the Safari was available in seven trims – XE, XM, XT, XT+, XZ, XZ+ and Adventure Edition (based on XZ+). Since then, Tata has been periodically updating the line-up, adding new trims and editions like the Dark, Gold, Jet and Red Dark, all of which brought in certain cosmetic and feature additions.

Tata Safari features

Coming to the equipment on offer, the top-spec Safari XZ+ trim gets six airbags, terrain response modes, 18-inch alloy wheels, xenon HID headlights, a panoramic sunroof, an electronic parking brake, an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with iRA connected car tech, a 9-speaker JBL audio system, a 7.0-inch part-digital instrument cluster and much more. The aforementioned special editions further added some features like ventilated seats for the front two rows (6-seater), a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen and ADAS tech.

If budget is not a concern, go for the XZ+ trim or any of the special editions (based on the XZ+) as they give you some good features along with the added cosmetic enhancements. However, if you are not keen on spending too much, the XT+ trim makes sense as it has all the basics covered and then some, including the large panoramic sunroof.

The Safari was initially offered with a 2-year/75,000km standard warranty but Tata upped it to 3-year/1,00,000km for the BS6.2 models. So it’s likely that you’ll get an example that’s still under warranty, which should alleviate some maintenance concerns. It’s even better if you get an example that has the extended warranty package. Safaris are generally mechanically sound, but Tata Motors’ service network is not yet up to class standards.

What to look out for in a used Tata Safari?

Infotainment issues

The touchscreen infotainment system is a sore point on the Tata Safari. Owners have faced issues of it crashing abruptly, failing to pair with a smartphone, the reverse camera not functioning and being laggy in general. Before you purchase, check that the infotainment system is up to date with the latest software and that it functions smoothly.

White upholstery

Safari XZ variants and above come with white leatherette upholstery, save for some special editions. While this does look nice new, it is a pain to keep it clean in our climatic conditions. Before you go ahead and get one, ensure that the upholstery on all three rows of seats and the door cards is not soiled. If it is, you’ll have to get interior detailing done which can cost around Rs 6,000-7,000 in metro cities.

Also worth knowing

Apart from the touchscreen, owners have complained of multiple other electrical gremlins with the Safari. Issues include the part-digital instrument cluster not working, a sensor for the air purifier malfunctioning and the key not being detected. Before buying, it’s advisable to do a thorough diagnostics check by a trained technician so you can avoid the pain later. Some owners have also complained about rattles from interior panels as the SUV gets older, so it’s worth keeping an ear out for this on a test drive.

Second hand Tata Safari price and resale value

There’s plenty of examples in the used market, but don’t spend over Rs 20 lakh irrespective of the model you go for. Asking prices are on the higher side, but there is scope for haggling as the updated Safari has already been launched.
