Tata Motors is gearing up to shake the full-size SUV segment with its upcoming Tata Safari EV. This all-electric version of the iconic Safari will blend the power of an SUV with sustainable electric mobility. Expected to directly rival the Toyota Fortuner, the Safari EV aims to offer space, luxury, and strong performance to Indian families looking for a premium 7-seater option.
Performance and Electric Powertrain
Tata Safari EV is expected to be based on Tata’s advanced Gen 2 EV architecture. The company may equip it with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup offering strong off-road capabilities. Though final figures are yet to be revealed, the electric powertrain is likely to deliver high torque output for smooth city and highway performance. Acceleration and handling will be optimized for a premium SUV driving experience.
Range and Battery Backup
Safari EV is expected to offer a real-world range of 400 to 500 km on a single charge, making it suitable for long drives with the family. Fast-charging support is likely to be included, which can charge the battery up to 80% in under an hour. The large battery pack will ensure consistent performance and endurance, even on challenging terrains or long hauls.
Interior Comfort, Features & Dimensions
The Safari EV will feature a premium cabin with a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, digital driver display, and a large touchscreen infotainment system with connected tech. It will continue to offer 7-seat configuration with captain seat and bench seat options. Dimensions will remain close to the ICE version, ensuring spacious legroom and luggage space. Safety features like ADAS, multiple airbags, and 360-degree camera will enhance its appeal for urban families.
Expected Price and Launch Timeline
Tata Safari EV is expected to be priced between ₹28 to ₹35 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it slightly lower than the Toyota Fortuner. The official launch is likely to happen by the end of 2025 or early 2026. Tata Motors may also offer introductory benefits for early bookings. This electric SUV could become a top choice for those planning a feature-rich, environment-friendly family car.
