Tata Safari Petrol Welcomes an All-New ‘Ultra’ Variant with Even Better Premium Appeal
Tata Motors is once again upping the game for its beloved Safari SUV with the introduction of a brand-new Ultra variant in the petrol lineup a move that promises more excitement for SUV lovers who want both style and substance. This enhanced version doesn’t just add a fancy badge; it brings a host of thoughtful upgrades designed to heighten comfort, technology, and safety, making the Safari an even more compelling choice in the fiercely competitive seven-seater petrol SUV segment.
At the heart of this update is the powerful 1.5-litre turbo-petrol Hyperion engine, recently introduced with Tata’s Sierra SUV and now tuned for the Safari. This driver-friendly engine offers a strong balance of performance and efficiency, and importantly, it’s available with both a smooth 6-speed manual and a responsive automatic gearbox giving buyers the flexibility they want in everyday driving.
What truly sets the Ultra variant apart are the premium features it brings inside the cabin. A bigger Harman touchscreen infotainment system with Samsung’s Neo QLED technology takes center stage, elevating the infotainment experience with sharper visuals and richer multimedia performance. To complement this, Tata has loaded the SUV with a robust Level 2 ADAS suite, offering an impressive suite of advanced driver-assistance functions that enhance safety confidence on long drives or urban commutes.
Inside, the Safari feels more luxurious and thoughtful than ever before. The VisionEX digital interior rear-view mirror, complete with a built-in dash cam and Dolby Atmos sound support, adds both convenience and entertainment value. Other upgrades include a handy sliding armrest, washer-equipped cameras for clearer vision in dirty conditions, built-in navigation with Alexa voice integration, and memory-enabled ORVMs that automatically dip when reversing — small touches that make a big difference in day-to-day usage. The new Oyster White and Gold interior theme also gives the cabin a fresh, upscale feel.
With this launch, Tata Motors has strategically positioned the Safari petrol Ultra variant to stand strong against rivals like the Mahindra XUV700, Hyundai Alcazar, and MG Hector Plus, all popular seven-seater petrol SUVs in the Indian market. The Ultra variant not only strengthens the Safari’s feature list but also boosts its overall appeal to families and SUV enthusiasts looking for a blend of performance, technology, and comfort.
All in all, the new Ultra variant is more than just a top-end trim; it’s Tata’s statement that the Safari continues to evolve, offering segment-leading features and a refined driving experience that keeps pace with customer expectations in 2025 and beyond.
