Tata Safari

The Tata Safari is a mid-size SUV built by Tata Motors in India since 1998, designed as a seven-seater with a foldable third row and sold as a lower-priced alternative to other off-road vehicles. The first generation, presented in India in 1998 with European sales from 1999, used a 2.0-litre Peugeot XD88 turbodiesel engine on the Telcoline's body-on-frame Tata X2 platform and was later updated with a 3.0-litre and then a 2.2-litre Dicor common rail diesel. In 2017 Tata announced that the Safari Dicor was being phased out, leaving the Safari Storme, which was itself discontinued in 2020. The second generation, introduced in 2021, is a front-wheel-drive monocoque crossover SUV that shares its underpinnings with the Tata Harrier.
