2023 Tata Safari Facelift Spotted — Reveals New Headlights | V3Cars

2023 Tata Safari Facelift New Headlights

The spy shots reveal new vertically-positioned headlamp clusters. However, the test car didn’t have functional LEDs fitted in the clusters. The production model of the Safari could incorporate a full-LED illumination for both low- and high-beam. Furthermore, the front end is likely to feature a full-width connected LED light bar, similar to the one seen on the Curvv concept. Other changes could include a redesigned front grille with slimmer horizontal fins and a new bumper.

The side profile will remain unchanged compared to the current model, save for a new set of alloy wheels. At the rear, the Safari facelift could boast a new design for the LED tail lights and a new bumper design with a skid plate. Overall, the front profile of the Safari features the bulk of the changes and these are likely to make their way into the Harrier facelift as well. We could also expect some of the new design cues to trickle over to the Nexon facelift that was spotted testing recently.

2023 Tata Safari Facelift Interior And Features

On the inside, the Safari facelift could feature an updated dashboard. Since Tata Motors recently updated the Safari with their new infotainment system and instrument cluster, we expect the same technology to feature in the facelift as well, albeit with better packaging and a more cohesive fitment. Currently, the Safari facelift offers features like a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, digital instrument cluster, front and rear ventilated seats and electrically-adjustable driver and co-driver seats. Furthermore, Tata Motors could also add advanced driving assistance features like adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist that are missing in the current Tata Safari.

2023 Tata Safari Facelift Powertrain Details

On the powertrain front, the Safari facelift could debut Tata’s new 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine. We saw the first glimpse of Tata’s new family of petrol engines at the Auto Expo 2023, which included the 1.2L and 1.5L turbo petrol engines. The 1.5L turbo petrol engine in the Safari will offer 170PS of power and 280Nm of torque. It will also continue to offer the FCA-sourced 2.0L turbo diesel engine mated to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

2023 Tata Safari Facelift Launch Timeline

Tata Motors are likely to launch the Safari facelift along with the Harrier facelift and Nexon facelift in August 2023. Tata Motors revealed their BS6 range back in 2020, which included the Tiago, Tigor, Altroz and Nexon. Similarly, Tata could refresh their entire SUV range, including the Harrier facelift, Safari facelift and Nexon facelift, before the 2023 festive season. The Punch compact SUV, which is relatively new, could also feature a few changes, including the addition of CNG and turbo petrol engine options.
