The Tata Safari EV is expected in January 2027, with prices reported to start around Rs 20 lakh and reach Rs 32 lakh for higher trims.

Key takeaways

• Expected launch: January 2027, not yet confirmed by Tata
• Reported price: around Rs 20 lakh to Rs 32 lakh
• Tata's first seven-seat EV, in 6-seat and 7-seat versions
• Reported batteries of 65 kWh, 75 kWh and possibly 80 kWh, with RWD or AWD
• Built on the Acti.ev+ platform shared with the Harrier EV

The Tata Safari EV is now expected to launch in India in January 2027. Prices are reported to start around Rs 20 lakh and could reach Rs 32 lakh for higher trims. Tata Motors has not confirmed the exact date.

Earlier reports pointed to the 2026 festive season, so the expected launch has moved into the new year. The latest prediction puts its debut in January.

What makes it different

The Safari EV will be Tata's first seven-seat electric SUV. It will come in both 6-seat and 7-seat layouts, which gives a family the choice between a middle bench and two individual middle seats.

It sits on the Acti.ev+ platform, the same base as the Harrier EV. That matters because the Harrier EV's batteries give a reasonable guide to what the Safari EV may offer, though the Safari EV's own range has not been announced.

Batteries and expected prices

Three battery sizes are reported, with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The largest pack is likely to be kept for the top trims.

For reference, the 75 kWh pack in the Harrier EV has a claimed range of 627 km in rear-wheel-drive form. Tata has not published a range figure for the Safari EV.

All of these figures are reported, not confirmed by Tata. Treat the price spread as a guide until the launch.

Rivals and timing

The Safari EV's main rivals will be the Mahindra XEV 9S and the recently launched MG Hector Tomahawk EV. Our view: if the reported Rs 20 lakh starting price holds, the 6-seat and 7-seat choice gives it a clear angle for larger families shopping in this group.

Tata has not announced booking or delivery dates. Until it does, January 2027 remains an expectation rather than a fixed date.
