2023 Tata Safari Facelift Exterior Changes

The Safari facelift test mule that was spotted recently gets prominent camouflage all around it, hinting towards a revised front end design. The Safari facelift is likely to get a redesigned grille that’s likely to be larger than the unit on the current model. While the DRLs are unlikely to receive any big change, the Safari facelift could get updated LED headlights with slimmer clusters. The radar for the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) can also be seen at the lower bumper.

The images also reveal an all new design for the alloy wheels. However, the new design is not visible as Tata have covered the wheels with a wheel cover from the Tiago hatchback. Apart from that, the side profile remains unchanged. At the rear, the Safari is likely to get tweaked LED tail lights and a reworked bumper.

On the inside, we do not expect Tata Motors to offer any major changes. The biggest change will be the inclusion of the new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a sleeker operating system. The new system will be accompanied by a new 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster. The Safari facelift will continue with the existing set of features that include a panoramic sunroof, electronically-adjustable driver’s seat, front and rear ventilated seats and 6 airbags. The Safari facelift will also offer ADAS with multiple features like driver drowsiness detection, lane keeping assist and auto emergency braking.
