However, the new one, which is being offered with a front-wheel configuration as standard, will be best suited for mild off-roading only. It should be noted that the older Safari was known for its off-roading capabilities, and came with an optional four-wheel drivetrain.
The transmission options include a 6-speed MT and an optional 6-speed AT. However, it should be noted that the new Safari is lighter than the previous model. The Kryotec engine puts out 170 PS of power and 350 Nm torque, which is 14 PS more but 50 Nm less than the previous-gen Safari. The 2021 Tata Safari draws power from the Fiat-sourced 2.0-litre diesel engine that also performs duties on the Harrier. On the lower trims, however, was a detuned version of this engine, rated at 150 PS/320 Nm. The Safari Storme was offered with Tata’s 2.2-litre four-cylinder Varicor 400 diesel engine that produced 156 PS of max power and 400 Nm of peak torque.
The ride will likely be much more calmer, and handling is also expected to be drastically improved over the predecessor. On the other hand, the new Safari is underpinned by Land Rover’s D8-derived monocoque architecture called ‘Omega Arc’. While the platform was rugged, the ride and handling weren’t as good as the majority of people would like. The Safari Storme made use of a body-on-frame platform that also underpinned a few other Tata cars like the Aria and Hexa. However, the Safari Storme was a whole 136 mm taller than the new model. The new Safari is 6 mm longer, 39 mm wider and has a 100 mm longer wheelbase over the previous-gen model. This means that the New Safari has grown in terms of each of the aspects mentioned above, apart from the height. In contrast, the Safari Storme had a length of 4,655 mm, a width of 1,855 mm, stood 1,922 mm tall and had a 2,650 mm long wheelbase. In terms of size, the 2021 Safari measures 4,661 mm in length, 1,894 mm in width, 1,786 mm in height and has a 2,741 mm long wheelbase.
