Homegrown automaker Tata Motors is bringing back the iconic Safari brand, one of its first SUVs in the country, for the soon to be launched 7 seater version of the Harrier SUV.
The vehicle was showcased at the Auto Expo last year where the company had used the codename Gravitas. Based on the Land Rover derived Omega Arc platform, the new Safari is 63mm longer than the Harrier and 80mm taller to accommodate the third-row seat. It will borrow the 170hp, 2.0-litre Kryotec turbo-diesel engine from the Harrier, as well as its six-speed manual and six-speed torque convertor automatic gearbox options.
