Tata Safari 2025: Dominance With a Dash of Design and Decency The Tata Safari 2025 is a bold iteration of an iconic nameplate that once reigned supreme on Indian roads.
Becoming increasingly loaded with premium features is the new Safari, tailor-made for urban families who prefer a comfortable SUV, but do not want to compromise on its rugged nature.
Though the SUV segment of the Indian market has lately become very competitive.
There is no doubt thatthe new Safari still commands attention with its bold design, great on-road manners and a well-rounded performance.
Bold Road Presence / Bold Design
At first sight, the Safari is simply commanding of attention. Up front, thsi is now more aggressive thanks to the new grille, split LED headlamps and slimmer DRLs.
The bonnet is raised, the Tata emblem is aggressive and the looks are rugged. On the hips, the big wheel arches, blacked-out pillars, and roof rails also help it appeal as an SUV.
The taillights at the rear are LED, which are now linked with a light-bar that make it feels more contemporary and premium.
These also add to its refreshed avatar – the chrome accents, new alloy wheel designs and dual-tone options.
In both city backdrops and the open roads the Safari looks powerful and imposing.”
Roomy and Classy Inside
Get inside and the Safari’s interior is plush and purposeful. High-quality leatherette upholstery, soft-touch materials and ambient lighting provide a premium cabin feel.
The newer 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system installed in the dashboard has wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
And with an entirely digital instrument cluster as an option, the whole experience is like something out of a sci-fi movie.
You have the option of a six-or seven-seat layout. The 6-seater is equipped with second-row captain seats that offer good comfort compared to a 7-seater,
Which makes more sense for bigger families.
Kid friendly or good for short trips, and usable in a pinch, the third row is equipped with A\C vents and charging ports.
Engine and Ride Quality / Driving Dynamics
Powering the Tata Safari 2025 is the tried-and-tested 2.0-litre Kryotec turbo-diesel engine that churns out 168 bhp and 350 Nm of torque.
It comes paired with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic. The engine is predictable and good for city and highway use with a linear power delivery.
One of the Safari’s biggest highlights is the ride quality. The suspension is setup for our roads and it soaks up the potholes and undulations pretty well.
The SUV feels sure-footed even at higher speeds, and the steering is light enough for urban driving, but becomes weightier on the highways, which inspires confidence.
For as big as it is, the Safari also manages to be pretty easy to drive, with selectable driving modes helping compensate for its tall seating position.
