This Is The Craziest Current Generation Tata Safari You'll See Today [Video]
The Tata Safari has always had a cult-like following in the country. There are a number of reasons behind its popularity, and because of this, people have been owning and modifying its different iterations to make them look unique. Recently, we came across a current-generation Safari that has been modified like no other Safari on the road today. This particular Safari has been given massive all-terrain tyres, making it look extremely distinct.
This video, showing the Tata Safari with massive aftermarket alloy wheels and tyres, has been shared on Instagram by Anudeep 8989 on their page. The owner of this particular Safari has shared a number of different reels showing his uniquely modified Safari. The main highlight of this SUV includes a set of five-spoke aftermarket alloy wheels and massive all-terrain tyres.
We can note that these tyres are extremely wide and stick out of the wheel well of this SUV. Additionally, an air scoop has been added to the bonnet of this SUV. It also gets an antenna on the left side of the bonnet and a racing team decal on the front doors, which gives it a rally-inspired appearance. Overall, this particular Safari looks like no other new-generation Safari.
To many non-automotive enthusiasts, spending money on modifying a vehicle might seem like a waste of money. However, to a lot of people, modifying their vehicle is a way for them to express their personality on public roads. Enthusiasts often add parts that are unique and give their vehicle a look that no other vehicle on the road has.
Currently, in India, car modifications are illegal—especially tyres protruding from the wheel well, which is something that gets scrutinized by the authorities a lot. If caught, the vehicle can be seized as well. However, people like this Safari owner still add such modifications because of their love for cars.
The current-generation Safari starts at ₹15.49 lakh and goes all the way up to ₹27.44 lakh. It comes with a single engine option—a 2.0-litre Kryotec turbocharged diesel engine that makes 170 PS and 350 Nm of torque. Both manual and automatic gearboxes are available with the Safari.
In terms of features, the latest-generation model comes loaded. It gets a 10.25-inch full-TFT instrument console, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, electronically adjustable and ventilated front seats, a wireless charger, a 10-speaker JBL audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear AC vents, ambient lighting, an air purifier, and Level 2 ADAS as well.
The Tata Safari was launched in 1998 and was one of the first homegrown SUVs that looked and felt like a global product. Its stance, wide body, and classic SUV proportions gave it an authoritative look. What made it even more popular in India was its appearance in a few movies, as well as it being the preferred SUV of many actors and politicians. Even though today the Safari is no longer a ladder-on-frame chassis SUV, it is still loved by many.
