Tata recently rolled out Dark Editions of its Harrier, Nexon, Nexon EV and Altroz. The company didn’t give its flagship vehicle – the Safari a special treatment and that came out a little weird. But we knew that Tata is planning something special for the Safari and what could be more exquisite than Gold? Tata Motors has launched the Safari Gold Edition at INR 21.89 lakhs (ex-showroom). The Gold Edition Safari can be had in two colours: White Gold and Black Gold.
White Gold
It makes do with Frost White colour and to give it that extra visual drama, it also gets contrasting black elements. Tata has also sprinkled subtle golden accents all over its bodywork to justify its ‘Gold’ moniker. To provide it with a dual-tone appearance, the roof of the White Gold variant has been painted black.
Black Gold
According to Tata, its exteriors are inspired by coffee bean and this variant gets the golden accents too. Interiors of the Black Gold variant come with a combination of Dark Marble finish mid pad and golden flourishes in the cabin.
Interior
Being more expensive than the standard variants, it also gains more goodies in order to justify the premium sticker price.
It gets Oyster White Diamond Quilted – genuine leather seats, ventilated seats on both the 1st & 2nd rows, wireless charger, air purifier, Android Auto & Apple Carplay over Wifi, making it the most impressive version of the Safari yet.
Other details
The new Safari edition will make its first public appearance at the VIVO IPL 2021 in Dubai. Furthermore, Tata Motors has introduced the ‘Safari Gold Hit Challenge’ in this season. For the same, every time a batsman hits a six and the ball lands on either the car or the car display podium or the Safari #Gold LED commercial board, Tata Motors will contribute an amount of ₹2 lakhs to The Akshaya Patra Foundation, an NGO fighting for Covid-19 victims.
