It also supports voice commands in six languages. Additionally, both now get a 7-inch semi-digital instrument cluster. 

2023 Tata Harrier, Safari remain mechanically unchanged

The Harrier and Safari continue with the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel producing 170hp and 350Nm, mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox. However, this engine is now Bharat Stage Phase II compliant. Both also get updated drive modes with an ESP terrain response system. 

2023 Tata Harrier, Safari expected price, rivals

With the new features and the engine being RDE-compliant, expect both SUVs to be priced Rs 50,000-Rs 1 lakh more. Additionally, Tata Motors is likely to introduce the Red Dark Edition that was showcased at Auto Expo 2023.

The Harrier rivals the recently facelifted MG Hector and 5-seat Mahindra XUV700, whereas the Safari rivals the refreshed MG Hector Plus facelift, the 7-seat Mahindra XUV700 and Hyundai Alcazar.
