New Delhi, Oct 17: Among the first SUV to enter the Indian market, the Tata Safari, has gone for an overhaul. The popular model has now been redesigned from the ground up and shares chasis with the Tata Aria and looks surprisingly similar to the outgoing Safari model. Here are some of the exclusive features that you'll see in the Tata Safari Storme.
The company is hopeful the new model will heat up the competition in the entry level SUV market in India.
Engine
Under the bonnet, the SUV uses the same 2.2-litre DiCOR turbodiesel engine present in the current Safari DiCOR and the Aria, delivering around 140bhp and 320Nm of torque. However, the company says the new model is more fuel efficient than the existing model. The new model looks less brawny than the existing model since the spare wheel is now tucked under the body. The sides get a wider running board and new design alloy wheels. In addition, twin chrome-tipped exhausts add to sportiness of the vehicle, aided by the high-mounted spoiler. The rear portion also becomes more appealing due to chrome strip and a grey-coloured band. All combined the Storme at 4655mm long, 1965mm wide and 1922 high is 5mm longer, 47mm wider and 3mm lower than the older Safari.
