The side profile of this sub-compact 3-row SUV remained almost the same, but now it has 19-inch alloy wheels and “Safari” badging on the front doors. The Safari logo at the rear side is now bigger and has been offered in three new color schemes: Cosmic Gold, Supernova Copper, and Lunar Slate.

Interior

Changes can also be noticed inside the cabin area of the Safari facelift. The SUV now gets a four-spoke steering wheel with a backlit Tata logo—additional upgrades include a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and touch-sensitive climate control. For automatic trims, the carmaker has tried offering Land Rover-style gear levers and a chic-looking drive mode selector with a display. Safari car buyers have the new 10.25-inch digital driver display for a better driving experience.
