![]() Nevertheless, the Benecke-Kaliko draped oyster white perforated leather upholstery provides a sense of opulence. In fact, we had trouble keeping the white interiors clean throughout the entirety of the shoot. While the oyster-white color theme looks splendid, it will be a pain to keep away the stains. The interiors of the Tata Safari, once again, are very similar to that of the H5. We loved the Safari badging in the bottom of the tailgate as well as the animal-themed design Easter egg in the rear windshield. ![]() We did notice that the integrated indicators could do with better daytime visibility for the benefit of vehicles following you in traffic. The signature twin line light LED tail lamps to look great, especially with the new edgy design of the taillights. 18” machined alloy rims look stunning.Īs mentioned earlier, the upright tailgate does hark back to the original styling of the Safaris. Variants that have a sunroof will be able to carry up to 75kgs on the roof rails. The stepped design and Safari badging on the roof rails pay homage to the Safaris of old the roof rails are functional on variants without sunroofs and can take a load of up to 130kgs. It is a precise and purposeful design that might not have too many edgy elements but definitely commands perceptible poise. Unlike the H5, the Safari stays true to its origins and sports a more upright tail. While the wheelbase is the same as the H5’s the rear of the Safari extends to accommodate the third row of seats. The most noticeable change is in the profile, which is where the Safari is most distinguishable. Other changes come in the form of chrome tri- arrows replacing the black arrows in the grille, and a revised housing for the Xenon HID projector headlamp cluster. The front fascia is pretty much the same as the H5’s except for a lot more chrome usage. Featuring Tata’s 2.0 Impact design language, the design remains contemporary and stylish. And, like the H5, the Tata Safari is a stunner. The Tata Safari, at first glance, looks like an extended version of the Tata H5.

Later, the Gravitas badge was replaced by the Safari nameplate, effectively resurrecting the legend. That was until the 2020 Auto Expo where the Tata Gravitas was showcased. Since the Hexa was struggling to perform (now discontinued), there was a glaring gap in the 6-7 seater segment in the Tata roster. Somewhere around 2019, the Safari nameplate was phased out. Unfortunately, with the emergence of other modern mid-size SUVs and the introduction of BS6 norms, the Tata Safari began to feel dated. In a market subjugated by Japanese SUVs, the Tata Safari managed to find success in the segment even finding its way into the Nepal Army and Police fleet. It wasn’t long before the Safari nameplate found success in Nepali soil as well. Named the GS800, it came with bullet-proofing and offered additional payload capacity, power and torque figures to conquer the rough trials and high-altitude roads for the Army. Tata Motors was commissioned by the Indian Army to produce special versions of the Safari Storme as the official vehicle for the Army. The Tata Safari managed to prove its worth by serving the Indian Army. In time, the Safari went through its stages of updates with the Dicor series introducing fresh aesthetics and a bigger engine, and the Storme refining the Safari even further. The rugged design, high ground clearance, and off-road capabilities made a strong case for the Safari. Not only did the Safari pave the way as a pioneer in the segment, but it also managed to garner a strong following for itself.
