The Tata Harrier And Safari Facelift were launched with all new interior, design and new petrol engines. As expected, the electric version of Safari that was spotted testing by us was without a tailpipe and any noise some time ago too. The Safari EV will come sooner or later but there is now confirmation within that they are preparing something big on the lines of the EV. In terms of exterior design, Safari EVis likely to feature a new design that will include new bumpers, a new design for the grill, and same headlamps and tail lights as the EV version of the Harrier.
Inside the cabin, we expect see the same interior as the Harrier.EV with different interior color and some other small changes. All this means we will get ADAS, IRa connect, climate control and other host of feature we saw in the Harrier.EV plus more could be expected!
Tata will finally add all-wheel drive (AWD) in the Safari EV with the help of electric motor on rear axle. The electric versions of both SUVs will feature multiple driving modes, a feature that will surely enhance their appeal and make them even more popular among the target audiences. In terms of the range, both SUV’s electric counterparts are likely to offer OVER 500 km on one full charge.
Given the rapidly growing charging infrastructure in the country, the adoption of electric mobility in India is going to gather more pace and Tata definitely has the intention to become the flag bearer of this electric revolution. The Safari EV could get a even bigger battery than the Harrier.EV that could throw a big fight against the XEV 9S. The Tata Safari EV becomes just like any other Tata car will all powertrain options! Could a CNG come in the future too since the petrol’s are here now? Let’s wait and watch.
