Tata has launched the third-gen Safari SUV at an introductory price of Rs 14.69 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It is a 7-seater SUV that will take on the likes of the MG Hector Plus and the upcoming second-gen Mahindra XUV500 and the 7-seater Hyundai Creta. Heres the full price list, top features, engine specs and dimensions of theTata Safari.

The 2021 Safari is available in 6 variants: XE, XM, XT, XT+, XZ and XZ+. It also gets an additional Adventure Persona trim based on the XZ+ variant which gets various cosmetic updates and an exclusive Tropical Mist colour. Prices range from Rs 14.69 lakh to Rs 21.45 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
The third-gen Safari is 4661mm long, 1894mm wide and 1786mm tall. It not the longest but the widest and the tallest SUV in its class. Its extra width and height should result in better headroom and shoulder room for the occupants in the second and third rows. The Safari has a wheelbase of 2741mm.
