Tata Motors new Safari Storme SUV launch to storm Indian auto market this October

As countdown to the festive season in India commences, Tata Motors’ new Tata Safari Storme will be launched in the Indian market this October. The SUV was on display earlier this year at the New Delhi Auto Show held in January and will be based on the familiar Aria platform.

Once Safari Storme is launched it will compete with the likes of Mahindra XUV500, Scorpio and Renault Duster while the company will be keeping pricing below that of XUV500. Pricing is expected between Rs.8 to Rs.11 lakhs. Safari Storme will be seen with its same boxy exterior design while interiors are updated to include a number of new components.

It will have the same 2.2 liter Dicor turbo diesel engine which is seen on the current Safari and Aria and which will offer 140 bhp and 320 Nm torque though it is expected to offer enhanced fuel efficiency. The earlier Tata Safari was a best seller in Indian markets and the company hopes for the same sales pitch this time round as well. It will be the competitive pricing of this new SUV that is believed to make it attractive to buyers.
