Tata Motors has taken the covers off the Safari Red Dark Edition which is available in two variants — the seven and the six-seater. The former is priced at Rs 22.61 lakh while the latter is at Rs 22.71 lakh, ex-showroom. Tata is known for introducing limited editions like the Dark Edition and the Kaziranga Edition, but the major difference in the new range is that it offers new safety features like the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). Also, the 2-litre diesel engine is BS6 Phase 2 compliant. The bookings are now open at the Tata Motors dealerships at token fees of Rs 30,000.

The most important update is the addition of ADAS, which is a first for a Tata vehicle. The ADAS suite offers forward and rear collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic alerts and much more.
