The long-awaited three-row version of the Tata Harrier has finally been launched in India last month. Originally dubbed the Gravitas, Tata decided to use this opportunity to revive the Safari brand name for the Indian car market.
Now just to make things more interesting, Tata has added a special version to the Safari line up called the Adventure Persona and here is everything you need to know about the car.
Exterior changes
Tata has painted the Adventure Persona in a new shade called Tropical Mist. What’s more all the chrome has been blacked out and even the wheels get a black gloss coating. There’s no adventure badging of any kind and the overall design is the same but the colour scheme is unique enough to help the car stand out
Interior changes
The Adventure Persona is based on the top-of-the-line XZ Plus/XZA Plus variant of the Safari and thus gets all the same features, layout and even the quality of materials used in the cabin. However, the biggest change here is that the seats have now been trimmed out in a cream shade as opposed to a full white scheme of the regular Safari.
Feature list
The feature list includes climate control with AC vents for both rows, panoramic sunroof, six airbags ABS with EBD, hill descent control, power driver’s seat, auto-dimming IRVM and JBL sound system. You get a semi-digital instrument cluster and an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
Engine and gearbox
The Tata Safari both in standard guise and Adventure Persona is only offered with a 168bhp/350Nm 2.0-litre turbo diesel powering the front wheels. You can have it with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque-converter automatic. As a part of the deal, you also get three driving modes as well as a terrain response system to provide optimum traction in low grip conditions.
