Going by the teaser, the Safari facelift will get a similar front-end to the upcoming Harrier facelift. There, however, is a noticeable difference when seen up close. The key difference looks to be in the shape of the housing for the main headlights with the Safari getting rectangular units compared to the triangular units on the Harrier. Elements such as the black strip connecting the headlight housings and the light bar linking the DRLs are shared between both upcoming Tata SUVs. with only the edge of the lighting element housing the turn signals.

The Safari’s teaser is also clearer than the Harrier's and reveals details such as the new paint finish and the re-designed grille with body-coloured inserts.

While the teaser does not reveal much else, images of test mules have revealed that the updated Safari will get redesigned tail-lights at the rear and also sit on new design alloy wheels.
