Tata Motors is in the process of launching the facelift models of Harrier and Safari SUVs in our market and the test mule has been spotted multiple times.
A few updates have been confirmed for the facelift version of the Tata Harrier and Safari SUVs. Harrier and Safari have enjoyed decent success in India since the time of their launch. However, over the years, other products entered the segment affecting the sales of the two. Nonetheless, Tata Motors has launched special edition models and some updates with the SUVs to keep them fresh and ready for the competition. Finally, a thorough facelift is overdue; we might see it during the festive season this year (2023).

Updates with Tata Harrier and Safari Facelift
1 Harrier EV-inspired Design
Tata Motors showcased the Harrier EV at the Auto Expo with a modern design. The facelift models will also carry that theme, judging by the spy images. This includes a sleek LED DRL setup with a slim bar running across the width of the bonnet, a prominent grille much like the existing model, a split-LED headlamp layout on either side of the bumper, and a large radiator grille down below, along with new alloys and connected LED taillamps.

2 Petrol Engine
While the existing 2.0-liter 170 PS / 350 Nm turbo diesel engine will continue, we could also see a 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine making 170 PS and 280 Nm of peak power and torque. This will ensure that the new Harrier and Safari prices are more accessible to a wider audience. Also, the advent of the petrol engine could work in favor of the SUVs in Delhi-NCR, where diesel cars are losing their sheen owing to the shorter 10 year life span.

The infotainment and instrument displays have already been updated on both SUVs but with the facelift models and we might see a two-spoke steering wheel that was recently spotted in the new Nexon. That will lend a unique and modern touch to the SUVs in addition to other layout modifications.

4 Price
Tata Harrier is priced between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 24.07 lakh while the Safari ranges from Rs 15.65 lakh to Rs 25.02 lakh, ex-showroom. While the diesel variants would bear a slight premium over these prices, the new petrol trims could be slightly more affordable. Also, thanks to the increased competition in the form of the Mahindra Scorpio N and XUV700, there are high chances that the updated Tata SUVs would be priced quite competitively.

5 Additional Features
While the XZA+(O) version of the Tata Harrier and Safari already come with ADAS, this feature is likely to make it to other high-end variants. Additionally, the SUV could offer a new 10.25-inch touchscreen system with several improvements over the current model. Other than this, the SUVs could get some additional goodies to help them compete with the feature-laden duo of Mahindra XUV700 and Scorpio N. The expected launch of the Harrier and Safari will occur during the festive season this year.
