2023 Tata Harrier and Safari Facelift
Tata Motors has tried to distinguish the two SUVs even though these are essentially the same. At the front, the Harrier gets a dual grille area divided by a horizontal black panel with stylish inserts, a full-width LED DRL bar, a rugged skid plate and vertically oriented bi-projector LED headlamps on the bumpers. On the other hand, the Safari also has these features but with slight distinctions. The most prominent difference lies in the fact that it gets the radiator grille with graphic inserts above the bumper while the lower section gets a much sportier skid plate with just a black grille element. The designs of the alloy wheels are also different.
