The All-New Tata Safari.ev: Exhilarating Spy Shots Revealed

The electric vehicle (EV) revolution in India is dominated by Tata Motors. With an extensive range of EVs in their portfolio, Tata Motors continues to innovate in the EV space. The latest spy shots of the Tata Safari.ev unveil fake exhausts, an attempt to confuse curious onlookers and keep the surprises intact.

Tata Safari.ev: The New Flagship

Tata Motors previewed the Harrier.ev concept at the 2023 Auto Expo, showcasing a radical new front fascia. This design breakthrough will also be featured in the upcoming Safari.ev and both their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. Expect the Safari.ev and Harrier.ev to hit the market soon, alongside their ICE alternatives.

Recently leaked spy shots, courtesy of Twitter user DustedProdigy, showcase the Tata Safari.ev in testing. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that this test mule is an electric vehicle, rather than an ICE vehicle. The rusty exhaust pipe gives it away as a misleading feature manufacturers use to hide the EV characteristics of their prototypes.

From foam pads to distorted camouflage, manufacturers employ various techniques to disguise their prototypes. In the case of EVs, fake exhausts are a common way to conceal the true nature of the vehicle. The unusual design and rust on the exhaust of the Safari.ev test mule strongly suggest that it is, indeed, a fake exhaust.

While most exhaust components are mass-manufactured with specific design specifications, the Safari’s exhaust stands out. In the spy shots, you can observe that the exhaust looks unprofessionally cut from a metal pipe with jagged edges, not to mention the rusting. Furthermore, the tip of the exhaust does not point towards the ground like in the Harrier and Safari models. This strongly suggests that the exhaust is a fake.

Safari facelift and Safari.ev: A Seamless Blend

At first glance, it’s challenging to differentiate between Tata’s ICE and EV test mules, and that’s precisely the automaker’s strategy. Take the recent facelifted Nexon and Nexon.ev, for example—only the lighting signatures of the daytime running lights (DRLs) set them apart. Even the wheels have identical designs for both ICE and EV models.
