Tata Motors has taken the wraps off the updated Harrier, Safari SUVs that will go on sale next month. Both SUVs will get mild cosmetic updates and feature additions like ADAS tech and an all-new infotainment system. The brand has already opened bookings for its flagship SUVs.
2023 Tata Harrier, Safari: what’s new?
With this update, both SUVs get multiple ADAS features like forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, high beam assist, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, lane change alert and more along with a 360-degree camera. While both get a panoramic sunroof, the Safari gets ambient lighting inside the left and right edges of the sunroof.
Furthermore, both SUVs will also get the new infotainment system with its next-gen 10.25-inch touchscreen – replacing the current 8.8-inch unit – that now supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. It also supports voice commands in six languages. Additionally, both now get a 7-inch semi-digital instrument cluster.
2023 Tata Harrier, Safari remain mechanically unchanged
The Harrier and Safari continue with the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel producing 170hp and 350Nm, mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox. However, this engine is now Bharat Stage Phase II compliant. Both also get updated drive modes with an ESP terrain response system.
2023 Tata Harrier, Safari expected price, rivals
With the new features and the engine being RDE-compliant, expect both SUVs to be priced Rs 50,000-Rs 1 lakh more. The Harrier rivals the recently-facelifted MG Hector and 5-seat Mahindra XUV700, whereas the Safari rivals the refreshed MG Hector Plus facelift, the 7-seat Mahindra XUV700 and Hyundai Alcazar.
