Big Battery and Long Range

Tata Motors is expected to offer two battery pack options with the Safari EV:

• 65 kWh battery with around 500 km range
• 75 kWh battery with up to 600 km range

The larger battery could support fast charging speeds of up to 120 kW, while the smaller one may support up to 100 kW charging.

Powerful RWD and AWD Options

The Safari EV is likely to be offered with both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive setups.

The single-motor version could produce around 235 hp and 304 Nm of torque.

The dual-motor AWD version may deliver up to 390 hp and 504 Nm, making it one of the most powerful SUVs in its segment.

With this setup, the SUV could go from 0 to 100 km/h in under 7 seconds.

Better Ride and Handling

The Safari EV is expected to bring improvements in ride quality.

It may feature a multi-link rear suspension with Frequency Dependent Dampers, replacing the current torsion beam setup.

This upgrade should offer better comfort and stability.

Feature-Loaded Cabin

Tata is likely to equip the Safari EV with several modern features, including:

• Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging
• Transparent chassis view
• Auto Park Assist
• Summon Mode
• UPI-based DrivePay for charging and toll payments

These features aim to enhance both convenience and technology experience.

Buyers will have the option to choose between a more practical layout or a comfort-focused setup with captain seats.
