2023 Tata Harrier vs Safari Facelift
Tata Motors has made efforts to give each of these SUVs its unique identity, even though they share the same platform. Up front, the Harrier sports a dual grille section separated by a horizontal black panel featuring stylish inserts, a continuous LED DRL bar, a robust skid plate, and vertically oriented bi-projector LED headlamps integrated into the bumper. On the flip side, the Safari shares these elements but with subtle distinctions. Notably, it features a radiator grille with graphic inserts above the bumper, while the lower section adopts a sportier skid plate with a black grille element.
