    Post  thackervijay 22nd January 2009, 11:28 am

    Spies have recently caught what is beleived to be the Tata Safari, or possibly the new Indicruz MPV in the most uncovered shots to date. Photographed during a fuel stop with a team of British engineers, the Indian company's MPV/SUV is being tested before release as a second-generation.

    Tata's Safari is India's first locally produced SUV. Spy shots show off the vehicle's rounded off front, which makes it look a bit more like an MPV, leading to speculation it's the new Indicruz MPV model (aka Xover concept), however it's raised ride height puts it in SUV league in our estimation.
    Tata will hopefully lighten the weight of the next-gen Safari, which comes to a massive 2115 kg (4663 lbs). Adding all-wheel-drive also increases the weight by 110 kg (243 lbs). The company is trying to address the fact that their heavy beast is woefully underpowered. A new 3.0-liter turbo diesel Direct Injection Common Rail engine produces 116 PS and 300 Nm of torque. We would hope the next gen gets even more power as well.

    If you have never heard of Tata Motors before, perhaps you know them as the new owners of Jaguar-Land Rover. The two divisions were sold to the Indian company last March. Tata Motors also made waves in 2008 with the Tata Nano, a tiny four-person car priced just as small at $2,500.

    There is no word yet on a release date for the new Tata Safari. The current model ranges in price from $16,360 to $28,480

    nice post tv.. but i don't think or rather i dont feel this should be a tata safari replacement.. this vehicle can no way match the SUV looks of the safari.. this would be better off as a separate MUV competeting against the Innova.. thats my opinion.

    Nice find vijay :) .
    This can't be Safari. As these guys who spotted this car are not from India, they thought it is Safari. This should be the Xylo/Innova competitor Indicruz. It looks good. But the black smoke bothers me. And also it looks like it has two silencers.

    :lol!: I'm planning to put it in my Swift ;) .

    I think Tata will name this car as "Indova"(indica+innova). As zinam said, this is just an Innova with vista lights and new bumpers.

    No RR. This probably can't be the new Safari. This is the Innova/Xylo competitor from Tata. It is a MPV.

    No Hummer. I was just kidding ;) . I would never go for such crazy modifcations.

    Coming back to topic, as per the link provided by vibhor
    http://www.motorbeam.com/cars/tata-indicruz/tata-indicruz-launch-in-june/

    It looks like everyone wants a pie of Innova’s share. First Mahindra with the Xylo and now Tata with the Indicruz. The Indicruz is based on the Xover concept, which Tata showcassed at the Geneva Motor Show some years back. It uses the same platform as the Tata Safari and will be launched with the 2.2 liter DICOR engine which does duty in the Sumo and the Safari. The Indicruz has witnessed alot of cold weather testing in Sweden and is also being tested on the outskirts of Pune. Tata plans to price the Indicruz around Rs. 9 lakhs, positioning it between the Sumo and Safari.


    It says that it shares platform with Safari, so great ride can be expected. But the expected price of 9 lakhs is on the higher side, considering the fact that top-end Xylo can be purchased for 8.6lakhs.
