Tata Harrier & Safari Facelift Upcoming Updates 2026: I still remember road-testing the original Harrier back in 2019 through Jamshedpur’s flooded backroads – that Kryotec diesel torque and OMEGARC chassis made grown men weep for joy. Fast forward to January 2026, and Tata unleashes the Tata Harrier & Safari Facelift with a 1.5L Hyperion TGDi petrol beast pumping 170PS/280Nm alongside the diesel staple, massive 14.5-inch Samsung Dolby Atmos touchscreen, and Fearless Ultra/Accomplished Ultra top trims that finally match XUV700 feature parity. Launching with Stealth and Red Dark Editions, these aren’t refreshes; they’re power surges ready to smoke MG Gloster and Safari’s own diesel legacy at ₹18-35 lakh ex-showroom.
