As we approach the launch of the Tata Safari facelift, the carmaker is consistently releasing new teasers almost every day, unveiling fresh design details of the 3-row SUV. In the latest teaser, we are treated to the side profile and the new alloy wheels on the 2023 Safari. Starting today, Tata will also begin accepting orders for the facelifted SUV.

What’s New In The Teaser?

The main highlight of this teaser is the newly designed alloy wheels featured on the 2023 Safari, which are expected to be larger at 19 inches compared to the existing Tata Safari's 18-inch alloy wheels. Additionally, we caught a glimpse of the SUV's profile, which closely resembles the current version.

As seen in the video, the facelifted Tata Safari now features a vertically oriented headlight housing, similar to what we have seen with the 2023 Tata Nexon and Tata Nexon EV. We’ve already seen the new connected LED DRLs and LED taillamps with the new dynamic lighting.

This includes a new steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo, a bigger touchscreen infotainment and a fully digital driver's display, ambient lighting on the dashboard, wireless phone charging, auto climate control, as well as ventilated front and rear seats.

When it comes to safety, the six airbags will likely be standard on the updated Tata Safari, and features like electronic stability control (ESC), a 360-degree camera, and ISOFIX anchor points, will also be retained. The existing version of the Safari already comes with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), but with the update, its driver assistance kit could also get adaptive cruise control.
