Tata Safari Price in Nepal 2026

The Tata Safari is powered by the robust 2.0L Kryotec Turbocharged Diesel engine, a unit derived from Fiat’s Multijet family, known for its highway cruising capabilities. For 2025, Tata has also introduced the 1.5L Hyperion TGDi Petrol engine, featuring a high-pressure gasoline direct injection system and an aluminum build to reduce front-end weight by nearly 80 kg, significantly altering the vehicle's center of gravity and handling dynamics.

Both the Diesel and the new TGDi Petrol variants are tuned to deliver a peak power of 168 bhp. This parity ensures that regardless of fuel choice, the Safari maintains its status as a high-performance 7-seater. The power delivery is managed through three distinct drive modes—Eco, City, and Sport—which remap the throttle response and torque curves to suit driving conditions.

The Kryotec Diesel engine excels in low-end grunt with a massive 350 Nm of torque available from as low as 1,750 rpm, making it ideal for full-load hauling. The 1.5L Petrol variant, while lower at 280 Nm, utilizes an electronically actuated variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) to ensure that the "turbo lag" is minimized, providing a linear and smooth acceleration curve for urban environments.

Both the Diesel and Petrol engines utilize an inline 4-cylinder configuration. This setup is preferred for this segment to balance vibration, noise, and harshness (NVH) levels with manufacturing efficiency. The 4-cylinder layout provides a more refined idle and smoother power delivery compared to the 3-cylinder engines found in smaller SUVs.

The Safari employs a DOHC valve train with 4 valves per cylinder (16 valves total). This allows for more precise control over the intake and exhaust timing, especially at higher RPMs. The new Hyperion petrol engine further enhances this with Dual Variable Valve Timing, which independently adjusts both intake and exhaust cams to optimize fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

The Petrol Safari uses a 350-bar Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) system, which atomizes fuel directly into the combustion chamber for a cleaner burn. The Diesel variant uses a Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDi) system. Both systems are BS6 Phase 2 (RDE) compliant and are optimized for E20 ethanol-blended fuels.

Despite its nearly 1.8-ton kerb weight, the Tata Safari is surprisingly nimble. The Diesel Automatic variant clocks a 0-100 km/h sprint in roughly 11.5 seconds. The new Petrol variant is expected to be marginally quicker in the mid-range due to its lighter front end, though the official NATRAX testing figures are still being benchmarked for the production-spec TGDi.

The Safari is electronically limited to a top speed of approximately 175 km/h. While the engine has the potential for more, the limit is set to ensure vehicle stability and safety, considering the SUV's high ground clearance and center of gravity. The OMEGARC platform ensures that even at these speeds, the vehicle remains planted with minimal steering float.

Tata offers a 6-speed manual for enthusiasts and a 6-speed torque converter automatic sourced from Aisin for the Diesel. The Petrol variant is expected to introduce a 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) in higher trims, similar to the Curvv, while maintaining the torque converter for the 1.5L TGDi for heavy-duty reliability.

The Tata Safari is currently strictly Front-Wheel Drive. It utilizes the OMEGARC platform (derived from Land Rover's D8). While it lacks a physical 4x4 transfer case, it compensates with an Advanced ESP-based Terrain Response System with modes like Normal, Rough, and Wet to manage wheel slip on loose surfaces.

The manual variants use a standard hydraulic single-plate dry clutch designed for high torque loads. The automatic variants (Torque Converter) utilize a fluid coupling, while the rumored DCT petrol variants will likely use a wet-clutch setup to handle the high heat cycles of stop-and-go Indian traffic.

The Safari’s length has been slightly increased in the facelift due to the more aggressive bumper designs. At 4,668 mm, it provides enough longitudinal space to accommodate three rows of seating while maintaining a manageable footprint for city parking compared to full-sized body-on-frame SUVs.

The Safari is one of the widest SUVs in its class, surpassing many of its direct rivals. This width translates directly into superior shoulder room for passengers in the first and second rows, contributing significantly to its "lounge-like" interior feel.

The tall stature of 1,795 mm (including roof rails) gives the Safari its "Commanding Driving Position." It ensures ample headroom even for taller occupants in the third row, though it does contribute to a higher drag coefficient.

Sharing the same wheelbase as the Harrier, the Safari optimizes this 2,741 mm span to fit the extra row of seats. The OMEGARC platform allows for a flat floor in the second row, enhancing middle-passenger comfort.

With 205 mm of ground clearance, the Safari is well-equipped to handle broken roads and high speed breakers. This height is essential for its "Rough Road" terrain mode to function effectively without risking underbody damage to the oil pan or exhaust system.

The Safari is a heavy vehicle, reflecting its robust build quality and the use of high-strength steel. The Diesel version weighs approximately 1,825 kg, whereas the new 1.5L Petrol variant is expected to be roughly 1,745 kg, improving the power-to-weight ratio slightly.

For a vehicle of its size, a turning radius of 5.8 meters (11.6m diameter) is standard. While it requires a bit of planning in narrow U-turns, the steering is now Electric (EPAS) across higher trims, making it significantly lighter at low speeds than the older hydraulic units.

With all three rows up, the boot space is a minimal 73 litres (barely enough for soft bags). However, folding the 50:50 split third row expands this to 420 litres. For maximum utility, folding the second row as well provides a massive 827 litres of flat-bed cargo space.

The Safari comes with a 50-litre fuel tank. Combined with an ARAI mileage of roughly 16 km/l for the Diesel Manual, it offers a theoretical range of around 800 km. It also features a separate 15-litre AdBlue (DEF) tank for emission control.

The Safari is available in a 7-seater configuration with a bench seat in the second row, or a more premium 6-seater "Captain Seat" layout. The 6-seater version includes ventilated seats for the second row, a first-in-segment feature.

Higher variants of the Safari come equipped with 7 airbags, including a driver-side knee airbag. This is a significant step up from the base 6-airbag standard (Driver, Passenger, Side, and Curtain) which is mandatory across most trims.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) combined with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) is standard. It prevents wheel lock-up during emergency braking and ensures that braking pressure is distributed according to the load on each wheel.

The Safari features an Advanced ESC that includes 17 additional safety functions, such as Brake Disc Wiping (for wet weather), Electronic Brake Pre-fill, and Hydraulic Fading Compensation, ensuring the car remains stable under extreme maneuvers.

This feature holds the vehicle for approximately 2 seconds on an incline after the brake is released, preventing roll-back. It is complemented by Hill Descent Control on higher-spec trims for controlled crawling down steep slopes.

ISOFIX child seat anchor points are provided on the outer seats of the second row. This allows for the secure and rigid mounting of compatible child seats, which is crucial for achieving high child-safety ratings.

The Tata Safari (and Harrier) scored a perfect 5-star rating for both Adult and Child Occupant Protection. It currently holds the highest safety score among Indian-made SUVs, tested under the more stringent 2024 protocols including side-pole impacts and ESC requirements.

The front end uses an independent McPherson strut with an anti-roll bar. For the Safari, the sub-frame and bushings have been tuned for a "supple" ride, absorbing sharp potholes effectively without transmitting vibrations to the steering wheel.

The rear utilizes a twist-blade setup specifically tuned by Lotus Engineering for the OMEGARC platform. It uses a Panhard rod to improve lateral stability, which is vital for a vehicle that carries significant weight in the third row.

Unlike many competitors that offer drum brakes at the rear, the Safari features disc brakes on all four wheels as standard. This provides superior heat dissipation and significantly shorter stopping distances for a vehicle weighing nearly 2 tons.

Base variants start with 17-inch wheels, but top-spec variants (like Accomplished) now feature massive 19-inch "Spider" alloys. These larger wheels improve the stance and highway stability, though they do result in a slightly firmer ride compared to the 18-inch options.

The updated Safari features a 12.3-inch ultra-wide touchscreen infotainment system by Harman. It supports high-definition graphics and a 360-degree 3D surround-view camera system with "invisible hood" technology for off-road navigation.

The system supports seamless wireless connectivity. Additionally, it features Alexa-to-Car integration and Tata's iRA 2.0 connected car suite, allowing for remote immobilization, geo-fencing, and vehicle health reports via a smartphone.

The fully digital instrument cluster can mirror navigation maps directly behind the steering wheel (similar to Audi's Virtual Cockpit). It also displays ADAS alerts, tire pressure (TPMS), and drive mode animations.

The Safari offers dual-zone climate control, allowing the driver and co-passenger to set different temperatures. It also includes a dedicated AC unit for the third row with independent fan speed controls and an AQI-monitoring air purifier.

The standard service interval is 15,000 km or 1 year, whichever is earlier. Tata offers three free services (usually at 2,000 km, 7,500 km, and 15,000 km) to ensure the vehicle is broken in correctly before transitioning to paid annual maintenance.

The Safari comes with a standard warranty of 3 years or 1 lakh kilometers. Owners can opt for "Pentacare" extended warranty packages that cover the vehicle for up to 5 years with unlimited kilometers, providing long-term peace of mind.

The Safari features a Level 2 ADAS suite with 12 functions, including Adaptive Cruise Control (with Stop & Go in AT), Autonomous Emergency Braking, and Lane Departure Warning. It also uses Tata's "iRA" tech, which includes over 250+ voice commands in 6 different languages.
