TATA Safari has always held a legendary status among Indian SUVs, and in 2025, it returns stronger, bolder, and more refined. TATA Motors has reimagined the Safari with a mix of muscular styling, premium features, and cutting-edge technology while preserving the legacy of rugged capability. The new Tata Safari is not just a car; it is an experience—crafted for the modern Indian family, adventure seekers, and tech-savvy drivers.
Design: Aggressive and Elegant
The 2025 Tata Safari embraces a bold design language with a powerful stance. It features a revamped front grille with chrome accents, dual-function LED DRLs, a muscular bonnet, and premium-looking alloy wheels that add to its commanding road presence. The rear tailgate now carries a sharper design with a connected LED tail lamp bar and a more prominent Safari badging.
Its elevated stance, strong shoulder lines, and roof rails lend it an SUV silhouette that feels both adventurous and urban-ready. Available in dual-tone color options and dark editions, the new Safari makes a visual impact wherever it goes.
Cabin and Comfort
Step inside, and the Tata Safari feels nothing short of a luxury SUV. The 2025 model introduces a refreshed dashboard layout with soft-touch materials, dual-tone interiors, and a panoramic sunroof. A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay takes center stage, paired with a premium JBL sound system.
The cabin offers captain seat options in the second row, cooled front seats, ambient lighting, and generous legroom across all three rows. Multiple USB-C ports, a wireless charger, and a new digital instrument cluster reflect TATA’s push towards a more connected driving experience.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the Tata Safari 2025 continues to offer the reliable 2.0-liter Kryotec turbo-diesel engine producing 170 PS and 350 Nm of torque. Mated with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox, the powertrain is tuned for performance, especially on highways and hilly terrain.
Tata has also teased the possibility of a hybrid or petrol variant, in line with India’s transition toward greener mobility. The new Safari also boasts Multi-Drive Modes (Eco, City, and Sport) and a terrain management system for gravel, mud, and wet conditions, enhancing off-road ability.
Technology and Features
The SUV is packed with advanced features. These include:
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with lane keep assist, blind-spot detection, and adaptive cruise control.
- 360-degree camera with dynamic guidelines.
- Ventilated seats (front and rear in some variants).
- Air purifier with AQI display.
- Voice-controlled sunroof and infotainment.
- OTA updates and Tata iRA connected car technology.
Safety
TATA Safari 2025 continues its legacy of offering class-leading safety. It now features 6 airbags as standard across variants, with options for 7 airbags in top trims. It has also received a 5-star rating in Global NCAP, thanks to its robust build and modern safety suite.
Safety features include Electronic Stability Program (ESP), traction control, hill-hold control, hill descent, and ISOFIX anchor points, ensuring peace of mind for every occupant.
Variants and Pricing
The new Safari is available in several trims: Smart, Pure, Adventure, Accomplished, and Dark Editions. Prices start from around ₹16.5 lakhs and go up to ₹25 lakhs for the top variant with ADAS and premium tech features. The Dark Edition, with blacked-out trims and all-black interiors, continues to be a hit among younger buyers.
Verdict: Should You Buy the New Safari?
The Tata Safari 2025 is not just a facelift—it is a complete evolution. It caters to the aspirations of Indian buyers who want luxury, technology, space, and safety in one package. While it competes with the likes of Mahindra XUV700 and MG Hector Plus, Safari holds its own with its rich legacy, commanding design, and well-rounded performance.
If you are looking for a spacious family SUV that doesn’t compromise on style, tech, or road manners, the Tata Safari is a top contender. Whether it’s the city hustle or weekend getaways, this SUV is built to take you anywhere—in comfort and style.
