Now let us know about the new engine in Safari. Along with the diesel engine, now the Safari will also get a new 1.5-litre TGDi engine (168bhp and 280Nm). This engine comes with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearbox. How is the Safari Patrol driving? In one word – relaxing. The power delivery of the engine may be linear, but it picks up speed quickly. Its refinement is also quite good. However, at high acceleration the engine is a bit noisy and slight vibration is also felt.

But is it just the new engine that makes the Safari special?

It's not like that. Safari has been a great SUV even with diesel engine. The biggest reason for this is the OMEGA architecture – which is taken from the Land Rover D8 platform. This platform gives Safari a smooth and relaxed driving experience.

Tata Safari Petrol Features – Launch and Price

Tata Motors has not yet disclosed the price of Safari petrol. It is expected that its price will be announced in January 2026. It is believed that Tata Motors can launch it at a very attractive price.
