The Tata Safari EV 2025 is finally here. And it’s big. Bold. And completely electric. Tata Motors is betting big on the electric future, and this SUV is a strong sign of what’s to come. Let’s explore it step by step.
A familiar face with an electric heart
The new Safari EV looks a lot like the regular Safari. Same wide body. Same strong shoulders. Same tall road presence. But this time, it hides something very new under the hood – an electric powertrain. The signature LED DRLs and sleek connected tail-lamps make it modern. There’s a closed-off grille because it doesn’t need air like petrol or diesel cars. The alloys are new and more aerodynamic. It looks clean and classy.
Big on battery and bigger on range
The Tata Safari EV is expected to use the same Gen 2 EV architecture seen in the Harrier EV. The battery pack is likely between 60 to 70 kWh. That’s enough to give it a claimed range of about 500 to 600 km on a single charge. Real world range will depend on your driving. But Tata says the Safari EV will be suitable for both cities and long road trips.
Fast charging is also supported. It can juice up to 80% in under an hour with a DC fast charger. There will also be multiple drive modes. You can switch between Eco, City, and Sport depending on how you want to drive.
All-wheel drive for rough roads
One of the coolest things is that Tata is planning to offer all-wheel drive on the Safari EV. That means one motor on each axle. This setup gives better grip on bad roads. It also helps during off-road adventures. It is rare to see AWD on Indian electric SUVs, so this is big news.
Strong body with new EV platform
The Safari EV is built on the new Acti.EV platform. It’s made for electric cars only. So the underbody is flat, helping with space and battery storage. This also makes the SUV more stable and better to drive. Safety is also taken seriously. Tata may aim for a 5-star safety rating just like its other cars.
Spacious and tech-loaded cabin
Inside the Safari EV, things get even more exciting. The dashboard looks premium. There is a large touchscreen, probably around 12.3 inches. It runs Tata’s new infotainment software. The driver gets a fully digital instrument cluster. There’s also a new two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo. AC controls are now touch-based.
The Safari is known for space. That doesn’t change. You still get three rows. Available in both 6 and 7-seater layouts. The seats are wide and comfy. Second row gets captain chairs in the 6-seater version. There’s also a panoramic sunroof. Mood lighting. Premium speakers from JBL. And connected car tech too.
Features that feel futuristic
The Safari EV doesn’t hold back on features. Some expected highlights:
- Ventilated seats for front and middle row
- Wireless charging pad
- 360-degree camera with blind spot view
- ADAS (Advanced Driver Assist System)
- Over-the-air software updates
- Voice assistant support in multiple languages
It will also support mobile apps to control charging, AC, lights, and more.
Digital key and remote functions
Tata will likely offer a digital key for the Safari EV. This means you can lock, unlock, and start the car using your phone. Very useful if you forget your key. Remote functions include climate control and charging schedule.
Ride quality and silent performance
Electric cars are smooth and quiet. The Safari EV takes that to the next level. There is no engine noise. Just a calm, silent drive. The ride is expected to be soft, especially with independent suspension. The car will glide over bumps. Steering will be light for city use. But stable on highways.
Acceleration is quick. Since EVs have instant torque, this big SUV can move fast when needed. No gear changes. Just press the pedal and go.
Variants and color options
We may see the Safari EV in multiple variants. Tata usually offers options like XE, XM, XZ, and XZ+. They may follow the same with EV too. Dual-tone color options are expected. New shades like teal green, arctic white, and midnight black may be added.
Some variants may also come with blacked-out packs. That includes black roof, alloys, and mirror covers. Gives it a sporty look.
Expected pricing in India
Tata has not announced the price officially. But since this is a big SUV with lots of features, the price will reflect that. It is expected to start around Rs. 27 lakh and go up to Rs. 33 lakh (ex-showroom). This will make it compete with the MG ZS EV, BYD Atto 3, and the upcoming Mahindra XUV.e8.
However, the Safari EV offers more size and seating. That gives it an edge for families looking for more space.
Made in India with future in mind
The Safari EV will be made in India. At Tata’s modern EV plant. It supports the company’s goal to become a top electric vehicle maker in the country. Tata already leads the EV market in India. The Nexon EV and Tiago EV are best-sellers. Now with the Safari EV, Tata is entering the premium electric SUV segment.
Focus on sustainability and innovation
Tata says the Safari EV is not just a car. It’s a step towards cleaner mobility. Fewer emissions. Better air. It shows how Indian automakers can innovate and lead. The EV also uses recycled materials inside. Fabric and trim use eco-friendly sources.
Tata is also working on better battery recycling. And cleaner charging options like solar-powered stations.
Charging network and home setup
Tata EV buyers get access to Tata Power’s charging network. There are over 4000+ chargers across cities and highways. You can also install a home charger. Tata offers doorstep installation. Charging at home overnight is easy and cheap.
Mobile apps help you find nearby chargers. Some chargers also support fast charging. So you can take long trips with confidence.
Service and support
Tata offers dedicated EV service bays. Trained staff. Faster repairs. And digital tracking of service status. The Safari EV will likely get a 8-year warranty on battery. That adds peace of mind.
You can also get roadside assistance. In case of any issue, help is just a call away.
Why the Safari EV matters
This SUV is a big moment for Tata. It mixes the old Safari charm with modern electric tech. Families love the Safari for its comfort and space. Now they get all that, without petrol or diesel. Cleaner. Cheaper to run. And packed with features.
It’s also one of the few 3-row electric SUVs in India. That means you don’t have to choose between space and sustainability.
Safari EV 2025 shows that electric is not boring. It can be bold. Spacious. Powerful. And smart.
India is changing. Roads are changing. And with the Safari EV, Tata is making sure it leads the way.
