Updated Design

The Safari's design sees notable alterations from the outgoing model.

The parametric grille design is new and beneath it gets a silver-finished faux skid-plate element. At the rear, the tail lamps share a housing with its 5-seater sibling, the Harrier, but with a distinct light signature. The rear bumper has been redesigned, featuring rectangular flanges that house reflectors and reverse lights. The SUV now rides on 19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels with aero inserts.
