Tata Motors has also opened bookings for both SUVs across dealerships and through its official website in India.

Design

The Red Dark Edition continues to be the boldest-looking version of the Harrier and Safari range. The Harrier gets Tata’s Nitro Crimson paint shade, which pairs nicely with the blacked-out styling package. The dark 19-inch alloy wheels and red brake callipers add a sporty feel to the SUV without making the overall design look too flashy or overdone from any angle on the road.

The Safari also gets the same dark treatment, and both SUVs now look more premium and aggressive than the regular versions. Tata has carried forward the familiar all-black styling theme from the petrol variants, but diesel buyers can finally get the complete Red Dark package as well. These variants are now positioned above the Fearless X+ and Accomplished X+ trims in the overall lineup.

What really works here is the balance in the design. The gloss black elements, dark alloy wheels, and small red highlights give both SUVs a cleaner and tougher stance. The styling does not try too hard, but it still gives the Harrier and Safari a stronger road presence. For buyers who like SUVs with a darker and sportier appearance, these new editions will definitely grab attention.

Interior

The cabin now gets a fresh Carnelian Red interior theme. Both SUVs come with red leatherette seats along with a white-and-brown dual-tone dashboard finish. Compared to the regular versions, the cabin feels more premium and slightly more upmarket. The contrast colours also help break the usual dark cabin layout and make the interior feel more inviting during long drives.

Tata has also loaded these variants with plenty of features. Both SUVs get a 14.5-inch Harman infotainment system with a Samsung Neo QLED display, Dolby Atmos sound system, and Mappls Auto navigation. The screen size and display quality immediately stand out once you step inside, and it gives the dashboard a much more modern look compared to older Tata SUVs.

Other additions include a digital inside rear-view mirror with a built-in dashcam, memory ORVMs with reverse dip function, sliding front armrest, dual camera washer setup, and a 65W Type-C fast charging port. These may not sound like major upgrades individually, but together they make the Harrier and Safari feel more complete as premium family SUVs in this segment.

Safety continues to be one of the strongest points of both SUVs. The Harrier and Safari retain their five-star Bharat NCAP safety rating, scoring 30.08 out of 32 for adult occupant protection and 44.54 out of 49 for child occupant protection. These scores continue to keep both SUVs among the safest options currently available in the Indian premium SUV market.

Engine

There are no changes under the hood, and Tata has kept the proven diesel setup untouched. Both the Harrier and Safari continue with the 2.0-litre Kryojet turbo diesel engine that produces 170PS and 350Nm of torque. The engine still suits the character of both SUVs quite well, especially for highway runs and long-distance touring, where the strong mid-range performance really comes into play.

Transmission choices remain the same, with buyers able to choose between a six-speed manual gearbox and a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
