Tata Motors has been busy with launches, and they recently launched the Sierra EV. However, they didn’t forget to update the beloved SUVs, the Harrier and the Safari. A few days ago, Stealth Editions were launched for the Fearless Ultra and the Accomplished Ultra variants, and now Tata has added a Dark Edition for the Fearless Ultra trim of the Harrier and the Accomplished Ultra trim of the Safari. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Dark Editions:

What’s New?

The Dark Edition is a styling update that gives the SUV a menacing appeal with a glossy-black paint theme and all-black interiors. You also get a larger 19-inch wheel setup for the Dark Edition. 

Coming to the Harrier, the Fearless Ultra trim previously got the Red-Dark edition, with some red accents. Now you get a completely dark theme inside and out with the Dark Edition. The same treatment has been carried over to the Accomplished Ultra trim of the Safari as well, which previously got just the Red Dark edition. 

Even with all the styling updates, the base of the Dark Editions is based on the Fearless Ultra and the Accomplished Ultra top-end variants, so the same equipment is carried over, like the front and rear camera with washers, 14.5-inch Samsung QLED touchscreen infotainment screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, built-in navigation system, a memory ORVM (outside rearview mirror) and memory function for the driver’s seat.
