The two Tata SUVs offer more in terms of design, comfort, features and drive convenience

Tata has recently launched the facelifted Harrier and Safari with a new design, improved safety and a load of new features. Both cars are placed in different segments, but share the same rival, the Mahindra XUV700. Here, we look at some of the Tata Harrier and Safari features, which you don’t get with the Mahindra SUV.

Bigger Touchscreen

The XUV700 comes with a dual-integrated 10.25-inch display, which became very popular at the time of its launch. Since then, a lot of other cars have come with this setup. But, while not featuring an integrated screen setup, the facelifted Tata Harrier and Safari come with a bigger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the centre console.

Ventilated seats

Both Tata SUVs and the XUV700 have dual-zone climate control for added convenience. But, the Harrier & Safari offer ventilation for front seats which is not offered on the Mahindra SUV. Also, the 6-seater variants of the Safari offer this feature for the 2nd row as well.

2nd Row Captain Seats

Talking about the Safari, it offers a 6-seater variant which comes with captain seats in the 2nd row. The XUV700 does have the capacity to seat up to 7 passengers but comes only in two seat configurations: 5- and 7-seater.

Powered Tail Gate

Another convenience feature that is offered on the facelifted Tata Harrier & Safari is a powered tail gate. This new feature makes accessing the boot easy and also works by sliding your leg under the boot.

4-way Electrically Adjustable Front Passenger Seat

While all three SUVs come with a 6-way powered driver seat with a memory function, the Harrier and Safari also offer 4-way powered front passenger seats. While these seats do not have a memory function, the one in Safari has an electric Boss mode, which the rear passenger can use to move the front passenger seat.

Paddle Shifters

When talking about powertrains, the XUV700 holds an advantage by offering a petrol engine alongside a diesel one. But, the Harrier and Safari, having only a diesel engine option, offer paddle shifters with the 6-speed automatic transmission to make the driving experience more convenient.

19-inch Alloy Wheels

All three SUVs come with 17- and 18-inch alloy wheels across their variants. But, the Tata SUVs feature 19-inch ones with their dark editions. The Harrier gets these with the Fearless and Adventure Dark variants, and the Safari gets them with the Adventure and Accomplished Dark variants. The top-spec Accomplished variant of the Safari also gets 19-inch wheels even if you don’t go for the Dark edition.

Auto Dimming IRVM

Lastly, the Two Tata SUVs offer auto-dimming IRVM for better visibility while driving at night, which helps improve safety by not letting the driver get blinded by bright light coming from the car behind.

The new Harrier is priced between Rs 15.49 lakh and Rs 26.44 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom) and the Safari’s prices range from Rs 16.19 lakh to Rs 27.34 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom).
