However, the new Tata Safari 2021 has many more features; You get provisions like an 8.8-inch touchscreen, 7-inch TFT dash display, automatic air conditioning, rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic headlights, push-button on / off, ambient lighting, cruise control, panoramic sunroof, iRA connectivity -suite, etc.rn

rnThis is another area where the two SUVs differ greatly. The Storme was powered by a 2.2-liter diesel engine producing 154 hp with 400 Nm, while the new Tata Safari used a 2.0-liter Fiat diesel engine producing 168 hp and a maximum 350 Nm of torque. So this means that the
new SUV has more horsepower up its sleeve but less torque compared to the previous model. But it's also worth noting that the Safari Storme weighed close to 2,000kg (kerb weight) while the new Tata Safari tipped the scales at 1,825kg (kerb).rnAnother important thing to note is that the new Safari has an automatic gearbox option, while the Storme was only available with a manual transmission.rn
New Tata Safari 2021 versus Safari Storme: all-wheel drive
rnThis is one aspect that has been bothering most of the Tata Safari enthusiasts. Unlike the Storme, the new Safari does not yet have a 4x4 driving option. But Tata, in its defense, believes there is little demand for an all-wheel-drive system in India, which is why the automaker has not provided it for the new model. However, the new Tata Safari 2021 has multiple driving modes.rnrn
