The Birth of an Icon
Launched in 1998, the Tata Safari was India’s first indigenously designed SUV. It was a bold move by Tata Motors, entering a market that was still warming up to the idea of SUVs. The Safari stood out with its imposing stance, spacious interiors, and a powerful 2.0L turbocharged diesel engine. It was built for Indian roads, offering a perfect blend of ruggedness and comfort.
The early Safari models were a dream for adventure seekers. With its high ground clearance, robust suspension, and 4x4 capabilities, it became the go-to vehicle for off-road expeditions. Whether it was the deserts of Rajasthan or the treacherous terrains of the Himalayas, the Safari proved its mettle time and again.
Evolving with the Times
As the years went by, the Tata Safari evolved to meet the changing needs of its customers. The introduction of the Safari Dicor in 2005 marked a significant upgrade, featuring a more refined 3.0L diesel engine and improved interiors. It was during this phase that the Safari truly cemented its reputation as a family SUV, offering comfort and safety without compromising on its adventurous spirit.
In 2012, Tata Motors introduced the Safari Storme, a modernized version with a more powerful 2.2L VariCOR engine and a sleeker design. The Storme retained the essence of the original Safari while incorporating contemporary features like better ride quality, advanced infotainment systems, and enhanced safety measures.
The New-Age Safari
In 2021, Tata Motors reimagined the Safari for a new generation. Built on the OMEGARC platform (derived from Land Rover’s D8 architecture), the new Safari is a perfect blend of luxury, technology, and performance. It features a bold and sophisticated design, plush interiors, and a host of modern features like a panoramic sunroof, connected car technology, and advanced safety systems.
Under the hood, the new Safari is powered by a 2.0L Kryotec diesel engine, delivering a smooth yet powerful driving experience. It’s available in both manual and automatic transmissions, catering to a wide range of driving preferences. The new Safari is not just an SUV; it’s a statement of style and substance.
