The Safari name is back in India and for enthusiasts that is a big thing since the Safari is known for its loyal fan following. The original Tata Safari is one of the most iconic SUV built in India. So how does New 2021 Safari compare to the old Safari? Like the Harrier, The New 2021 Safari is built on Tata’s New Global Advanced Architecture (OMEGARC) platform, which is based on Land Rover's D8 platform as compared to the X2 body on frame chassis for the old Safari. Despite sharing a name, these two Safari are drastically different under the skin. Is the new Safari a worthy replacement?

The original Safari was a timeless classic in terms of design with its square lines and massive size. It has a external spare wheel mounted at the back while in later years it was removed. It had big headlamps along with a thick chrome strip. The new Safari is completely different with being much sportier. It is lower and smaller being based on the new platform from Land Rover being shared with the Harrier.
