Tata Safari Storme @ Auto Expo 2012

Safari looks are now toned down. More "gentleman" than "dude
in torn jeans + boots". Not everyone will like:

I like the rear end treatment way more than the front. Spare wheel is no longer mounted on the tail-gate though. Takes away from that "propah-SUV" feeling:

Low beam projectors:



New bumper & Fog lamps:


Trapezoidal exhaust; note that the Safari gets dual-exhaust tips (one on each side ):




Bonnet light has disappeared:

Interiors have a long list of improvements, but most of them are too subtle for the non-Safari owner to even notice. Luckily, I had TSK1979 giving me company during the Safari visit:

Dash plastics have improved. TSK says its more "car like" now:

Rotary controls for the air-conditioner are nice to use:


Notice the 4x4 rotary control knob (bottom right-hand-side of the gear lever). Also, in the Safari Storme, a CD can actually be ejected / loaded in 3rd gear (existing Safari owners will know what I'm talking about ):

Dash top gets a storage bin:

Slightly changed door-pads:


TSK says that the glovebox seems a tad wider, and the lining material is of far better quality than before:
