The new Tata Safari had been spied testing on Indian roads earlier this year. The second generation Tata Safari will be based on Aria X2 platform with more space in the interiors along with a new structure making it more rigid and equipping it with better handling capacities. The new model will also have lots of space and will be loaded with features such ABS, Airbags, Climate Control etc.
Unidentified sources from Tata Motors have revealed that the new Tata Safari is ready to be launched by mid-January 2011. As far as the engine is concerned, speculations are that Tata will be bringing its proven 2.2L VTT DiCOR to this model as well. The model may be a little lighter than the existing one to make it more fuel efficient.
Tata Motors’ upcoming launch this year is the new Tata Ace which is the eight-seater van based on Tata Venture platform. The model will compete with Maruti Eeco which has replaced Omni in the Indian market.
