Its revised rear bumper now houses two round shaped chrome surrounds for exhaust pipe which looks sporty with new reflective lights. There are new revised clear lens taillights which look down market. Spare wheel goes missing from its boot gate which earlier used to be the hall mark of this car. The car stands vertically tall and looks like any other van or MUV. It takes away the macho character of this car. The rear of this car is a big disappointment. It also has new silver colored roof rails with 16 inch alloy wheels which along with bulgy wheel arches makes it look sporty. There is a new wider door step fitted in this car. The side of the car receives minor changes including new body colored side cladding, door handles and side mirrors with inbuilt turn indicators. There are noticeable lines on the front bumper and the new Safari looks much more aerodynamic than before. The new bumper has leaner air dam and new round shaped fog lights with chrome surrounds. Gone are the old, square shaped headlights and now gets replaced with more angular and edgy projector headlights.īumper grille is all black in color with massive, elongated chrome bar just above it which looks premium on this car. There are eye catching changes made to the face of this car. The new safari shares its platform with its elder sibling Aria which is lighter and well-built than its earlier chassis. One can easily figure out that it’s a Safari. The shape and size of the new car has not changed much. May be Tata is hoping to hold the loyal buyers of Safari who like its current styling and they have decided not to play much with its basic design but looking at the new competitors, it doesn’t mange to impress you instantly, it will take you time to accept the new changes. That may or may not work in the favour of this car. Tata Safari Storme looks visually identical to its previous generation. ARAI certified mileage of 4×2 version is 14 kmpl and 4×4 returns mileage of 13.2 kmpl.Base variant is priced at INR 9.95 lakhs.Available in seven shades: Urban Bronze, Astem Black, Pearl Champagne, Sardinia Red, Pearl White, Arctic White and Arctic Silver.Safety features like SRS airbags, ABS, EBD, ESP and BA.Improved HVAC system (expected to be a dual-zone climate control system).Better handling in comparison to current generation Safari.Newly designed interior which are expected to be very spacious.New Aria type transmission for smoother gear-shifts.
New front and rear bumpers, Dual mass flywheel.New headlights, tail lamps and fog lights.Tata displayed it for the first time at Delhi Auto Expo 2012 and launched it on 17th October, 2012 in Indian car market. Tata knows it and they are ready with the second generation of their legend known as Safari Storme. With new competitors like Mahindra XUV500 and many others, Safari looks a bit aged and needs a serious up gradation. Safari has gone under some changes with some facelifts which have kept it alive but now the competition has increased. Cars like Scorpio were the follower of this beast which was the ruler of its segment. It was the first SUV which was entirely designed, developed and manufactured in India. In the year 1998, we got our first home grown SUV known as Tata Safari.
