Tata Safari Gold Edition teased ahead of reveal at 2021 IPL in UAE

Tata Safari is offered in a number of colour options but gold is what is likely to shine brightest of them all. Tata Motors recently took to its social media handle to give a glimpse of the Safari SUV Gold Edition which will be revealed at the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL) in UAE. Tata Safari is the official partner of the 2021 IPL.

The cricket tournament, previously halted mid-way due to Covid-19 pandemic in India, will resume from September 19 and take place till October 15. Tata Motors, therefore, is expected to unveil the Safari Gold Edition soon and have the car prominently placed at the cricket venues. The new variant will likely get a High Street Gold colour scheme as previously seen on the Tata Altroz. The teaser video shows the label ‘Safari’ appearing out of golden-yellow sand, rightly setting the tone for its unveiling in UAE.

Tata Safari is currently available in the Indian market in as many as five colour schemes - Royale Blue, Tropical Mist, Daytona Grey, Orcus White and Tropical Mist Adventure. The additional golden paint scheme could bolster the Safari lineup, giving the vehicle a more premium look and feel.

The Safari is powered by a 2.0 litre Turbocharged Kyrotec engine which is mated to a a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The engine churns out 170 PS at 3750 rpm and 350 Nm at 1750-2500 rpm.

On the inside, Safari gets an 8.8-inch floating island infotainment system and features such as advanced ESP with 14 functionalities and Boss Mode providing enhanced ride comfort. Tata Safari comes based on the carmaker's Impact 2.0 design language and the OMEGARC architecture, derived from the D8 platform from Land Rover.

In the previous season of IPL, Tata Altroz was the official partner for the cricket tournament. The carmaker has now extended its partnership with the tournament by becoming official partner again, this time with Tata Safari.
