The Safari gets a split headlamps set-up like the Tata Harrier. The grille of the vehicle has the tri-arrow design of the Safari.

The cabin gets three-row seating making it the only Tata vehicle to get it at the present. The rows get stadium seating set-up so that all the occupants get a clear view of the road ahead. Tata Motors also chose the Oyester White for the cabin theme that adds a spacious ambience of the vehicle. Also, the all-new Safari gets a panoramic sunroof and touchscreen infotainment system. The instrument cluster is a mix of analogue and digital, just like the Tata Harrier. The infotainment system also gets connected features like iRA.

The all-new Safari does not get an AWD or 4X4 system, which does not stay true to the DNA of the original Safari. However, Tata says that the OMEGA-Arc platform can be modified to incorporate the system in the future if the need arises. The car gets the same 2.0-litre diesel engine that is available with the Tata Harrier. It generates a maximum power of 170 PS and peak torque of 350 Nm.  The new Safari gets a 6-speed manual as well as a 6-speed automatic transmission. A petrol engine is not available with the all-new Safari at the moment. However, Tata may launch a petrol version of the Safari as well as the Harrier in the future.

Tata Motors says that they have tested the vehicle extensively and they even took it to Khardung La and have tested the vehicle in various Indian conditions. Tata vehicle will offer dual AC units to ensure that the cabin gets even temperature quicker since it is a big vehicle. To provide maximum comfort to the occupants, Tata offers massive 18-inch wheels with 60 cross section tyres. It ensures that the tyres absorb the bad road patches easily.
