Recently, the Tata Safari EV Spied once again during testing, which has revealed many new details of this upcoming electric SUV.
The most talked about thing is that Tata Motors can give a triple-screen dashboard layout in the Safari EV, which till now has been seen only in the Sierra and Sierra EV.
If this feature is offered in the production model as well, the Safari EV could become not just an electric SUV but also Tata Motors’ most premium and feature-loaded family SUV to date.
Reports suggest that the SUV could launch around Diwali, a festive season, and will compete directly with the Mahindra XEV 9S.

Tata Safari EV Spied – What’s Spotted in the Latest Spy Shots?
The latest Tata Safari EV Spied images show the SUV undergoing testing under heavy camouflage. The exterior appears largely identical to the current Safari, but a key cabin detail has emerged. Reports suggest an additional display on the dashboard, suggesting a triple-screen setup.
Spy photographers didn’t get a chance to capture the entire dashboard, but available visuals and source inputs suggest Tata is preparing to make the Safari EV even more premium than the Harrier EV this time around.
It’s also possible that the production version will only feature a dual-screen setup, but for now, the possibility of a triple-screen layout is generating the most excitement.
A Triple Screen Dashboard Could Be the Safari EV’s Biggest Highlight
If Tata Motors offers a triple-screen dashboard in the production model, it could become the Safari EV’s biggest USP.
Expected Setup May Include:
- Fully Digital Driver Display
- 14.5-inch Samsung OLED Touchscreen Infotainment
- Front Passenger Entertainment Display
The passenger display can make long-distance traveling even more comfortable. This feature is in high demand in the premium EV segment, and the Mahindra XEV 9S already offers it as a standard feature.
For this reason, experts believe that Tata will not want to leave the Safari EV behind in terms of features.

No major changes are expected in the exterior design
Spy shots indicate that the overall silhouette of the Tata Safari EV will remain similar to the current ICE Safari. The company will continue with the familiar design to maintain the Safari’s strong road presence.
However, the EV version may see some cosmetic updates, such as:
- Closed Front Grille
- New EV-specific Alloy Wheels
- Aerodynamic Bumper Design
- Blue Accent Elements
- Revised Front Fascia
- New Connected LED Lighting Elements
These changes will visually distinguish the SUV from the petrol and diesel versions.
The cabin could be packed with premium technology
In terms of interior, the Safari EV could be Tata Motors’ most advanced SUV.
Expected features could include:
- 14.5-inch Samsung OLED Touchscreen
- Triple Screen Dashboard (Expected)
- Digital IRVM
- 540-degree Camera
- Panoramic Sunroof
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Wireless Phone Charger
- Ventilated Front Seats
- Powered Tailgate
- Multi-zone Climate Control
- Premium JBL Audio System
- Ambient Lighting
With a three-row cabin, rear passenger comfort will also be given special attention.
The Harrier EV could feature a powerful battery pack
High expectations are also placed on the Tata Safari EV Spied ​​model in terms of powertrain.
Reports suggest the SUV could feature the same battery setup as the Harrier EV.
Expected battery options:
- 65 kWh Battery Pack
- 75 kWh Battery Pack
Top variants are likely to feature a dual-motor AWD (QWD) setup that can generate approximately 500 Nm of torque.
Being an electric SUV, it could also offer instant acceleration and improved off-road capability.
What could be the expected driving range?
The Harrier EV’s claimed range is approximately 627 km.
The Safari EV’s slightly larger body size and weight may result in a slightly shorter certified range.
According to industry estimates, the Safari EV’s practical claimed range could be between 580 km and 620 km, which would be considered a very attractive figure for family buyers.
Advanced safety features may also be available
Tata Motors is also focusing on safety in its upcoming EVs.
Expected safety features in the Safari EV:
- Level-2+ ADAS
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist
- Blind Spot Monitoring

Will give Mahindra XEV 9S a direct competition
After launch, the Tata Safari EV Spied ​​model’s biggest competitor will be the Mahindra XEV 9S.
Both SUVs will feature premium cabins, advanced technology, and a long driving range.
The Safari EV will be favored by its three-row practicality and Tata’s trusted service network, while Mahindra has already established its niche in the market with its triple-screen dashboard and premium interiors.
This could make for a very interesting competition between the two electric SUVs during the upcoming festive season.
Launch Timeline
An official launch date has not yet been announced, but with production-ready test mules being spotted regularly, it’s clear that development has reached the final stage.
Reports suggest that Tata Motors could launch the Safari EV in the Indian market around Diwali 2026.
Auto India Daily Verdict
The latest Tata Safari EV Spied images indicate that Tata Motors intends to launch its flagship electric SUV not just as an EV convertible, but also to take it to the next level in terms of technology and premium features.
If the production model features a triple-screen dashboard, 75 kWh battery pack, dual-motor AWD system, Level-2+ ADAS, and the advanced features of the Harrier EV, the Safari EV could become a very strong option for family buyers.
With a combination of three-row seating, long driving range and a premium cabin experience, this SUV looks set to give the Mahindra XEV 9S a direct competition.
Official specifications will be confirmed at the time of launch, but the details that have emerged so far are only adding to the excitement surrounding this upcoming electric SUV.
