As per reports, the Tata Safari EV is expected to be built on the same platform as the Tata Harrier and is likely to share some of its powertrain components with the Harrier EV. The Tata Harrier EV is expected to come with a 60-65 kWh battery pack that will power an electric motor producing 120 hp of maximum power output. If the Tata Safari EV shares the same powertrain as the Harrier EV, we can expect similar power and range figures from the Safari EV as well.
In addition to its advanced powertrain and sleek design, the Tata Safari EV is expected to offer a plethora of high-tech features. One of the highlights is a 10.25-inch infotainment system that will support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, providing drivers with seamless access to their favourite apps and entertainment.
