Tata Safari 2025: Redefining SUV Excellence

Tata Motors is once again working on enhancing its flagship SUV Tata Safari, in 2025, with a bold design statement, advanced technology, and performance for which it is known. The iconic 3-row SUV was relaunched in 2021 and has gradually carved out a positioning in the premium section in India’s D-segment, racing with competitors.

 With fresh looks, state-of-the-art features, and the rumour mill churning about a possible petrol engine launch, the Tata Safari 2025 is geared to grab eyeballs as an adventurous family SUV. The article here speaks about the specifications, features, and the role of the Safari in the development of India’s SUV market.

Bold Design Puts It A Step Ahead on the Roads

The Safari 2025 model features an outside design that has bold proportions and shallow slits. The very modern and intimidating front profile comes with the slimmest of grilles leading into a strong shoulder line, extending to full-width LED DRLs, and bi-LED projector headlamps. Gentle sophistication comes courtesy of the new bumpers and, of course, those 19-inch alloy wheels that help the muscular appeal of the design.

 Dimensions of the SUV stand at 4668 mm long, 1922 mm wide, and 1795 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2741 mm, which gives terrific space on the interiors. Availability in colors like Galactic Sapphire and Cosmic Gold adds even more sophistication.

What also contributes to its exclusivity is the Stealth Edition, limited to 2,700 units, finished in matte black. The roof rails and panoramic sunroof provide style and utility. Leatherette upholstery and a persona-based interior theme pamper the interiors. The elegant design of the dashboard, fused with 64-color ambient lighting, creates luxury worth competing with others like the Mahindra XUV700.

Powertrain Options Expand Horizons

The powertrain on offer on the Safari is the 2.0L Kryotec diesel with a healthy output of 170 PS and 350 Nm. A 6-speed manual or automatic transmission is at the driver’s choice, with fuel efficiency from 14.5 to 16.3 kmpl. But more excitement builds around the unveiling of a petrol variant, which was recently spied testing for a launch in 2025.

The talk is of a 1.5L TGDi petrol engine, probably to be linked with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, providing a lighter-response driving experience. This extended choice reacts to the petrol demand, throwing down the gauntlet to others like the XUV700.

Moreover, Tata is trying to electrify the Safari under the name of Safari EV, which is anticipated to be launched by mid-2026. While there are very few details available at this moment, the EV might provide a 500 km range, which totally fits in Tata’s vision for sustainable mobility.

For now, the diesel-powered Safari remains a front-wheel-drive system with an advanced ESP terrain mode to handle different terrain conditions that can help balance its performance in city driving and off-road capabilities, while some users still hope for a revival of the 4×4 system.

Redefining Interiors: Technology and Comfort

Occupant Comfort and Connectivity Animal Features The infotainment system is a 12.3-inch touchscreen. Dual-zone climate control, ventilated front and rear seats (in 6-seater variants), and a gesture-controlled tailgate add convenience. Voice-assisted panoramic sunroof adds a light feel to the spacious cabin.

It is a 6- or 7-seat SUV with 420 liters of boot space when the third row is folded. Practicality is ensured through a host of features, including wireless charging, a powered six-way driver seat, and “Boss Mode” for second-row adjustment. However, the third row would be suitable for short trips, as adults would find it cramped for legroom. Yet, because of its premium interiors and clever ergonomics, the Safari is a winner in the family category.

Safety Has a High Standard

Safety matters for Tata; hence, Indian customers get a 5-star GNCAP rating for its Safari. The SUV has seven airbags, ABS with EBD, and electronic stability control. The ADAS suite is further equipped with adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and autonomous emergency braking. Navigation in tight spaces will be supported by a 360-degree camera, blind-spot detection, and rear-cross traffic alert. OMEGARC, derived from Land Rover, is robust by design, while features like hill-hold assist and ISOFIX mounts mark versatility.

However, not all the safety features are available in the top-end models; ADAS is one of them. However, with so much to offer when it comes to safety, a car like this becomes a top one for safety-conscious people, outshining cars like the MG Hector Plus in terms of crash test credentials.

Market Status and Challenges

With a price ranging from ₹15.50 lakh to ₹27.25 lakh (ex-showroom), Safari 2025 comes with a whopping 32 different variants, from the base Smart to the top-spec Accomplished Plus Stealth 6-seater. While its prices are competitive with similar rivals such as XUV700 and Hyundai Alcazar, on-road costs in cities like Mumbai go up to as much as ₹31.8 lakh.

Within this figure, some customers will find discounts of as high as ₹3.5 lakh in 2025. The Adventure+ variant is targeted primarily toward budget buyers because it promises a good balance of features and value.

There are still many challenges. Its appeal is severely limited by failing to offer a petrol engine till mid-2025. Maintenance costs and after-sales inconsistency have also brought Tata some flak. The Safari does not boast any all-wheel-drive variant, which competitors like the XUV700 have. In design, safety, and features, Tata stays equipped to take on the competition, though.

Safari Future Outlook

In the future, Tata will strengthen Safari’s legacy with petrol varieties and EVs. Investment in charging infrastructure and battery recycling would support the brand’s electric ambitions. For instance, an expected 2026 launch of the Safari EV would shake things up in the segment with possible competition from electric counterparts like the Maruti eVX. In the meantime, the rugged charm and premium upgrades on the diesel Safari bring its appeal up.

In conclusion, the Tata Safari 2025 is the complete package of style, tech, and performance that further solidifies its flagship status. With a possible petrol engine and an EV around the corner, it promises to adapt to the changing preferences. However, leather-wrapped misses, the impressive safety and comfort combined with a bold design make it an attractive option for SUV enthusiasts, ensuring relevance in India’s continuously changing automotive landscape.
