Get ready to explore the exciting New Tata Safari Facelift 2023, an SUV that promises more features and a stronger, more modern look compared to its predecessor. This updated Safari aims to offer a premium experience, positioning itself strongly against rivals in its segment.
Striking Exterior Design
The New Tata Safari Facelift 2023 boasts a muscular and imposing exterior design with several significant upgrades.
Front Profile Highlights
At the front, the SUV features striking connected DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) that include a “welcome and goodbye” feature. The complete setup for LED projector headlights provides excellent illumination at night. LED fog lamps come with a cornering feature, enhancing visibility. The front also includes a camera for the 360-degree camera system, radar for ADAS features, and two parking sensors in the bumper. Both the lower and front grilles, along with the black skid plate, have been redesigned.
Dynamic Side View
Moving to the side, the New Tata Safari stands out with newly designed 19-inch alloy wheels, a step up from the previous 18-inch ones. All four wheels are equipped with disc brakes for superior stopping power. The “Dark Edition” features a distinct #Dark badge on the fender, along with the Safari badging, a new addition. Automatic folding outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) integrate indicators and cameras for the 360-degree view. A safety feature includes a blinking light on the ORVM when a vehicle passes by, and the left indicator activates the side camera display on the touchscreen. Request sensors are also present on the door.
Modern Rear Look
The rear of the SUV showcases connected tail lamps, which include sequential indicators, a popular and futuristic design trend. The Tata logo is centrally placed, above a reverse parking camera. A rear wiper, defogger, high-mount stop lamp, and a stylish spoiler are all standard. The Safari badging at the rear features a larger, redesigned font. Side reflectors are now uniquely placed, adding to the modern aesthetic. The bumper design has also been updated with a new pattern, and it houses two reverse parking sensors. The 16-inch spare wheel is positioned underneath the vehicle.
Electric Tailgate Feature
A standout convenience feature is the electric tailgate, which can be opened and closed using the smart key or via a gesture control for hands-free access. The boot space is practical, with a boot light and a JBL subwoofer. While seating seven people, boot space is limited, but it significantly expands when the third-row seats are folded down. Jack, tools, and a tire inflator kit are neatly stored under the floor.
