The story

The Tata Safari is a mid-size SUV produced by the Indian automobile manufacturer Tata Motors since 1998. Safari has been designed as a seven-seater SUV with a foldable third row, roomy interior; on the market it has positioned itself as an alternative from the competitive price to other brands off-road vehicles. The second generation was introduced in 2021. Unlike the first generation, the second-generation Safari is a front-wheel-drive, monocoque crossover SUV, sharing its underpinnings with the Tata Harrier.
