Tata Motors is gearing up to expand its electric vehicle portfolio with a major launch — the Tata Safari EV, which will become the company’s first-ever 7-seater electric SUV. This upcoming model is expected to strengthen Tata’s dominance in India’s EV space while directly competing with new-age electric SUVs like the Mahindra XEV 9S.
The Safari EV is expected to be built on Tata’s advanced acti.ev+ platform, the same architecture that underpins the upcoming Harrier EV.
While the overall silhouette will likely remain similar to the current ICE Safari, Tata is expected to introduce several EV-specific design updates such as:
- Closed-off front grille for better aerodynamics
- Redesigned bumpers
- Aerodynamic alloy wheels
- Subtle EV-specific styling elements
This approach allows Tata to maintain the Safari’s strong road presence while giving it a modern electric identity.
Inside, the Safari EV is expected to carry forward the premium cabin layout of its ICE counterpart with minimal changes. Key highlights may include:
- Large floating touchscreen infotainment system
- Fully digital instrument cluster
- New four-spoke steering wheel
- Three-row seating layout with ample space
The focus will remain on comfort, practicality, and tech — making it ideal for family buyers looking to switch to electric mobility.
The Safari EV is likely to share its powertrain options with the Harrier EV, offering:
- 65 kWh battery pack (standard variant)
- 75 kWh battery pack (higher variant)
- Dual-motor AWD option for better performance and traction
However, due to its larger size and heavier weight, the Safari EV may offer slightly lower range compared to the Harrier EV.
The Tata Safari EV could become a game-changer by bringing:
- 7-seater practicality in EV space
- Trusted Safari branding
- Strong range and performance options
For Indian buyers looking for a family-friendly electric SUV, this could be one of the most awaited launches of the year.
