The cabin layout of the Harrier and Safari will see a comprehensive update. The dashboard design and the upholstery will be new. The biggest change will be the new two-spoke steering wheel which was first seen on the Curvv concept. It has a piano black finish that gives it an up-market look. The concept had a rectangular screen that showed the Tata logo. As of now, it is not confirmed whether this feature will make its way to the production-spec version or not.

The gear lever might also look slightly different than the current versions and there is also a rotary knob that might be used to control the infotainment system.
