Many regard Tata Safari as India’s first indigenous VIP car with utmost care for back seat dwellers. The claim holds true even today and the new Tata Safari facelift takes that notion to a whole new level. Tata Safari facelift brochure has been leaked, revealing variant-wise features and detailing about the car’s new Personas.
Tata Safari Facelift Brochure – Mid-size SUV King?
Main strength seems to be pampering 2nd-row passengers. Even today, Safari is the only vehicle with ventilated 2nd-row seats under Rs. 1 crore mark and the facelift adds comfort headrests and rear sunshades along with electrically operated Boss Mode feature and configurable ambient lighting around its panoramic sunroof.
There is a radical new design, inspired by Curvv concept. New fascia has a parametric studded grill with a cascading effect, headlights are now vertically arranged. Dashboard is re-designed too and features radical updates. The letter-based trim nomenclature is gone, replaced with word-based trim names – Smart, Pure, Adventure and Accomplished.
