The Tata Safari, as standard, is a 7-seater SUV but the XZ+/XZA+ variant also offers a 6-seater arrangement with 2 captain seats in the middle row. Seating arrangement and comfort level The Harrier doesn’t have to boast much here as it is a straight forward 5-seater but its elder brother does have a few tricks up its sleeve in this aspect. The Harrier, on the other hand, boasts a boot space of 425 litres and with the 2nd-row folded, it offers up to 810 litres of space.Ĥ. And with the 2nd-row and 3rd-row folded together, the Safari boasts a boot space of 910 litres. Coming to the boot space, the Safari doesn’t boast any space at the back with the 3rd-row open, but when it is folded, it offers a space of 447 litres.
The extra length definitely means comfortable legroom and decent ergonomics at the back and the increased height, especially with the stepped roof at the back also means more headroom for the 3rd-row occupants. The difference in the length and height between the siblings clearly points to the 3rd-row extension of the Safari. The unchanged width isn’t a matter of worry as the Harrier is quite spacious and can easily accommodate 3 comfortably in its 2nd-row. Now the Safari is 63mm longer and 80mm taller than the Harrier. The Tata Safari measures 4661x1894x1786 while the Tata Harrier measures 4598x1894x1706 and the wheelbase of both the SUVs is same at 2741mm. Dimensions This becomes one of the major differences between the Tata Safari and the Tata Harrier and this aspect could be key if you had to choose one between the siblings. The Harrier also is offered in 3 colour schemes - calypso red, Orcus white and Telesto grey- but it also gets two special variants, Camo and Dark, which offer an exclusive camo green and atlas black colour scheme respectively.ģ. The Tata Safari is offered in 3 colour schemes for now- royale blue, Daytona grey and Orcus white. The grey skid plate at the back also compliments the overall character. Compared to the Harrier, the Safari has slightly different taillamps and the most prominent change is that Safari’s tailgate is not as bulky as the brother’s. The 2021 Tata Safari gets the rear-quarter window as it pays homage to the original model and the completely redesigned tailgate does suit the SUV too. At the rear, the Safari sees an opportunity and takes it efficiently and this is where the SUV stands out. The roof rails are also new and the Safari inscription at its end also seems like a treat for the die-hard Safari fanbase. Safari gets 18-inch alloy wheels (same in design) against 17-inch in Harrier. If closely noticed, one can see that the Safari and the Harrier also share the shoulder line, the waistline and the flared-up wheel arches, but the Safari’s detailing is slightly more aggressive compared to its brother. With the Safari sporting an extension at the back, and the new stepped roof, the silhouette of the SUV is quite different than the Harrier and it does appear a little more aggressive. The Impact 2.0 design language shared by both the Safari and the Harrier points out a few similarities in the side profile too. The Safari also sports a grey skid plate which has not been seen in the Harrier before and the skid plate does complement the chrome-heavy front fascia. The Safari gets the same headlamp cluster with the fog lamp in the same panel from the Harrier and tweaks it up with a chrome-garish too. The Safari also borrows the ‘Humanity Line’ (the chrome garnish below the grille that connects the LED DRLs) from the Harrier. The Safari flaunts a signature tri-arrow front grille with a chrome garnish and a similar design can be seen in the Nexon’s lower grille. What is to be noticed here is that the Tata Safari has also borrowed a visual feature from a much smaller brother, the Tata Nexon.
While the bold outline and the aggressive character is still the same, the 2021 Tata Safari ups the ante with a chrome-heavy front profile. The Tata Safari carries forward almost the same front fascia from the Harrier with a little tweak here and there. The most prominent similarity is the front fascia of the Tata Safari and the Tata Harrier. With the brothers sharing the same architecture, it is quite obvious that most of the visual details would be the same too. The new Tata Safari is a monocoque like the Harrier, and by doing so it becomes the first Safari to not boast a body-on-frame chassis. Design and architecture Both the Safari and the Harrier are based on the OMEGA-ARC platform which has been derived from Land Rover’s D8 platform.
