Leaked Cybertruck Video Offers New Look Inside: What Stood Out

In a moment captured on video, the person holding the camera opened the rear driver-side door and provided a brief glimpse inside. The footage revealed that the backseat in the Cybertruck appears to be foldable, presumably allowing for additional storage space. However, the backseat also seems somewhat tight. This might be due to the truck’s smaller size compared to the original prototype. As a result, the backseat legroom may have been reduced in the final product.

Additionally, there is an infotainment system located on the back of the center console for passengers in the backseat. If it operates similarly to the system in the Model 3 and Y, users will be able to control features like temperature, entertainment volume, and Bluetooth. The video ends with the person filming demonstrating that the tonneau cover can be opened and closed using a control panel at the back of the vehicle. If the video depicts real-time action, the cover opens in approximately five seconds.

While it’s exciting to get a first look at the Cybertruck’s interior, it’s important to be cautious about sharing this video. According to Tesla enthusiast Jeremy Judkins, the electric vehicle company does not want the leaked video to spread and may revoke invitations to the upcoming Cybertruck event on November 30 for anyone who draws attention to it.

Tata has now given us the complete look at its facelifted three-row SUV, the 2023 Tata Safari. Not only does it boast a fresh design and an updated cabin, but it also features a range of new exterior color options for its modern styling. Its variant list has been updated to be more like that of the facelifted Nexons and the Safari facelift will be offered in these four broad variants – Smart, Pure, Adventure and Accomplished.

Tata has also opened its order books for this updated SUV for a token amount of Rs 25,000, and if you are planning to book one, here are the details of its available colour options.

1. Cosmic Gold

This is the new reveal colour for the Safari facelift, likely reserved for the higher variants. It exclusively gets the option of the dual-tone white and grey cabin. This colour-combo is reminiscent of the pre-facelift Safari Jet Edition.

2. Galactic Sapphire

Tata has updated the main hue of the pre-facelift SUV that was known as Royale Blue and this is the result for the 2023 Safari.

3. Stardust Ash

This new shade is a successor to the Daytona Grey option offered on the pre-facelift Safari.

4. Stellar Frost

It replaces the shade known as Orcus White from the Tata lineup and is likely offered from the base variant onwards.

5. Oberon Black

This shade remains unchanged from the pre-facelift model and it is the exterior colour for the Dark Edition of the 2023 Tata Safari.

6. Supernova Copper

We see a return of copper hues with the new Safari in this shade. It also gets the exclusive interior theme of tan-brown and black.

7. Lunar Slate

This is a new shade for the Safari facelift, and will likely be limited to the lower-spec Smart and Pure variants.

Note, the Cosmic Gold, Galactic Sapphire, and Stardust Ash are available in dual-tone shades with the blacked roof.

Feature Updates

2023 Tata Safari Cabin

The cabin of the 2023 Tata Safari has also been updated, and the center console is totally new. The feature highlights includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, ventilated front and rear (only in 6-seater) seats, 10-speaker JBL sound system, multi-colour ambient lighting, dual-zone automatic AC with a touch-control panel, a panoramic sunroof, and a gesture enabled powered tailgate.

Its safety kit now includes up to seven airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), a 360-degree camera, tyre pressure monitoring system and full suite of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features, which now also includes adaptive cruise control.

Familiar Diesel Engine

2023 Tata Safari Gear Shifter

The 2023 Tata Safari uses the same 2-litre diesel engine as before, perhaps updated in terms of energy efficiencies, which churns out 170PS and 350Nm. It is mated to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission, the latter now with paddle shifters. The much anticipated 1.5-litre T-GDI (turbo) petrol engine hasn’t been offered with the new Safari yet.

Expected Price & Rivals

Tata could launch the 2023 Safari in November 2023 at a starting price of Rs 16 lakh (ex-showroom). It will take on the Mahindra XUV700, MG Hector Plus, and Hyundai Alcazar.
