Tata Motors is on a wild update streak with its models. First, the Nexon got an update, then the Harrier and now, the flagship Safari gets a revamp. This isn't a minor nip and tuck job, because Tata has gone to town with the changes, and crucially, has focused on giving the Safari its own identity, rather than it being deemed as just a Harrier with a third row. It gets a completely new look, refreshed interior with modern tech and mechanical changes. Let’s see how well it has worked out.

Tata Safari facelift exterior styling

The Safari carries over Tata’s new design language without any change to the sheet metal. The ‘soft’ parts like the bumpers, grille and lights are all new and this has completely changed the look of the car. The LED Daytime Running Lamp runs across the width of the nose, with the Safari also getting sequential turn indicators. The ‘parametric’ grille is a single-piece unit compared to the Harrier’s split setup and is a point of differentiation between the two models, and, for the Safari, they are body-coloured. Further down, the LED headlamps and LED fog lamps are housed in a black casing, which also gets Safari lettering in chrome. Since there is no split grille, the air intake is blacked out with a faux metal scuff plate for that butch look.

Over to the side, the Safari gets 19-inch wheels on the top-spec variant and 17- and 18-inch options on the lower trims. The wheels do a very good job of adding road presence, and also get aero inserts that help reduce drag. You might also remember the wheel design that was previewed on the Tata Sierra concept shown at the Auto Expo. The alloys are wrapped with 245/55 R19 tyres, and being relatively lower profile, they have an impact on ride quality. More on that in a bit. Other Safari traits continue like a rising shoulder line and the roof with the famous kink.

At the rear, things are simpler, with revisions to the tail-lamps, which make it sharper, and an LED strip joining the two. The bumper too is all new with sharp lines, and there is a faux metal bash plate for that rugged look. That said, one of the most important updates is seen when you wag your leg under the bumper: the boot now gets gesture control for opening, and is finally electric.

Tata Safari facelift interior and features

Like the Harrier, the Safari comes specced with the ‘persona’ that you choose. The top-spec ‘Accomplished’ gets a dual-tone interior with white and brown upholstery. It has an air of premiumness, but the light-coloured seats and panels on the steering and doors will be difficult to maintain. The passenger side also gets an artificial wood panel with pinstriping which looks upmarket but may not be to everyone’s tastes.

The Safari gets the same four-spoke steering as the Harrier along with a gloss black panel and the backlit Tata logo that you just can't keep free of smudges and marks. There is also a fully digital instrument cluster that has customisable layouts, and the option of a map view once you’ve connected your phone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. That said, for a full map view, Android users will have to use Google Maps and Apple users will have to use Apple Maps. The cluster also displays drive mode changes, terrain mode changes and ADAS settings as well. The brightness, sharpness and overall viewing angles are good.

Next is the 12.3-inch touchscreen that gets wireless connectivity for Apple and Android and is slick to respond. It also packs in a lot of the settings for HVAC, ADAS, air purifier, audio modes and mood lighting. The audio system is also updated from a 9-speaker system to 10 speakers, along with a sub-woofer and 13 presets in the screen to choose from. The presets are very well calibrated and do enhance the music experience. You can also have individual modes for individual seats making the whole experience even more personal. The other highlight on the Safari is the 360-degree camera, which is high resolution and is a big plus while manoeuvring this SUV.

Under the screen are the HVAC controls on a gloss black panel, with the only physical buttons being the temperature toggles for the dual-zone climate control. Everything else, including the fan speed, is on a touch-based panel. Adjusting the fan speed or even functions like the electric tailgate opening is rather difficult as the feedback and response from the panel aren’t good. On the move, this would be an even more frustrating experience, and it’s better to use voice commands, which, despite not being the quickest, at least doesn't let you fumble.

Further down is a wireless charging pad that is difficult to access. You need to angle your phone in an awkward manner trying to dodge the knurled terrain response selector and cram your phone in, which, inevitably, will hit the panels around. Taking it out is the same story as you more often than not end up hitting the HVAC buttons or scraping your phone. For charging, there is a USB-A and a 45W type-C port as well.

Next is the terrain response selector that is unnecessarily large, and beside it are the non-backlit drive mode buttons. When you do change the drive modes, however, the ambient lighting too changes colour momentarily. Green for Eco, blue for City and red for Sport. What’s also new on the Safari is the drive selector for the automatic version, which is a shift-by-wire mechanism, and an electric parking brake, which replaces the aircraft-style brake lever on the top-spec version. The centre storage also gets vents to be used as a cool box, and a USB-A and a type-C port as well.

Tata Safari facelift seating 

The seats on the new Safari are powered for both driver and passenger with memory functions for the driver and ventilation for both. They are fairly broad and supportive, but cushioning is on the firmer side. However, on the whole, the new Safari is leaps ahead of the previous gen, both in terms of features and design.

There has been no change to the Safari’s wheelbase, so space in the middle row remains unchanged, The captain seat version also gets ventilation and there are USB-A and type-C ports here as well. There are AC vents in the B-pillar too, but surprisingly, no blower control for the middle row. The theatre-like seating position allows you to get a good view out, and the addition of sunblinds is a plus to have on hot days. What further elevates the sense of space is the panoramic sunroof, which gets ambient lighting and adds flair to the cabin at night.

Entering the third row past the captain seats isn’t easy since they don’t tumble down. They only recline and don’t slide forward enough for easy access. It’s easier to use the space between the two seats as a passage to access the third row. However, once you’re seated at the back, the amount of room is impressive even for tall adults. Sure, headroom is tight for occupants over six feet, but the adjustable backrest angle and sliding middle row make the third row properly usable, and the most spacious in its class. There are three-point seat belts for two, individual headrests, AC blower controls and USB-A and a type-C ports. The downside is the boot space, which, with all three rows up, is only good for a couple of soft bags.

In terms of safety, the Safari gets the usual goody bag of sensors and assists, along with ADAS. The Safari gets six airbags as standard, and the top-spec version gets an additional knee airbag, taking the count to seven.

Tata Safari engine, gearbox and performance

The updated Safari gets the same 2.0-litre diesel engine making 170hp and 350Nm as before, but in BS6.2 guise. Tata claims to have upped the damping and refinement but, to be honest, it is still one of the sore points of the Safari: there is that typical diesel clatter at idle that seeps into the cabin. As you get going and the engine speed rises, the gruff noise increases. That said, the engine feels strong to perform and has a wide torque band. Mid-range is where you will get that punch, and response overall is solid. The Safari is also very happy and comfortable at highway speeds. Changing the drive modes also changes the response, just as before. In Eco and City, the engine is laidback, but switch to Sport, and there is a noticeable gain in response. This is largely to do with the pedal mapping, which, as you change modes, alters the response to the accelerator, giving you a noticeable change in driving manners.

Mated to the engine is the same six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Quick shifts and lightning-fast responses are not something it prefers, and the shifts are carried over in a leisurely manner. Sure, sport mode does help, but inherently, it's a relaxed gearbox.

To gain more control, there is also the option of paddle shifters, a new addition in the updated Safari. However, they don’t particularly enhance the driving experience as manually shifting via the paddles isn’t very quick or responsive. Operate the paddle shifters and the powertrain automatically defaults to Sport mode, but the experience isn’t exactly sporty. The shifts are slow and downshifts are frustratingly delayed if the engine is at high revs. This doesn’t allow for enthusiastic manual shifting and it's best to let the gearbox work on its own. What is another irritant is operating the new shift-by-wire shifter, which requires the right technique. During three-point turns, shifting from D to R and back is a fiddly affair, since there isn't a clear response from the lever. It often gets stuck in N or simply doesn’t change the gear. This will take owners some time to get used to, and a lot of patience.

Tata Safari handling and ride comfort

Speaking of three-point turns, arguably the biggest and the most important update on this Safari is the steering system. Gone is the older hydraulic power steering unit, and in its place is a modern electric power steering (EPS) that has transformed the way the Safari handles. To start off, at low and city speeds, you no longer have to muscle the car around, and get your arm workout done. The steering is light and easy in Eco and City mode, making parking very convenient. In Sports, it does weigh up to add some feel while driving. Three-point turns are done with minimal effort and getting it out of tight spots is very easy too. Tata has also increased the track on the new Safari owing to the bigger wheels, but it isn't something that was noticeable through corners.

On the subject of ride, Tata has retuned the suspension with updated dampers, spring rates and new bushings, giving the Safari a softer setup than before. However, shod with big, 19-inch wheels and lower profile tyres, bump absorption is compromised. Over a broken patch of road, you will notice sharp movements and potholes are met with quite a thud. The toughness of that Land Rover platform does shine through with the taut and tight body control the faster you go. On the highway, the ride is composed and flat, and the sense of control and stability you get is the hallmark of the Safari, which makes it a great high speed cruiser.

Tata Safari ADAS performance

The other big talking point on the Safari is the ADAS: it gets adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, collision warning, automatic braking, rear cross-traffic alert and blind spot monitoring. Lane keep assist is also part of the package, but will be introduced later as a software update.

In our conditions, the ADAS works well, especially the adaptive cruise control which does the job even at slow bumper-to-bumper speeds. The lane departure warning system is good at detecting lanes correctly too. What could have been better, is the automatic emergency braking. We found that despite driving closer than usual to the car in front (done for testing the ADAS) it did not activate the brakes, despite adjusting the setting of the brake activation to the maximum distance. Tata claims this is done specifically with India’s erratic traffic conditions, but we would have liked the emergency braking to kick in from a safe distance. Rear cross-traffic alerts and blind spot monitoring, on the other hand, work flawlessly.

Another plus point is that the Safari, along with the new Harrier, recently received a 5-star rating in adult and child occupant protection by Global NCAP.

Tata Safari verdict

Prices for the Safari start at Rs 16.19 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom, India) for the base Smart manual variant.  With this update, many of the Safari’s weaknesses have been addressed, with the electric power steering, electric tail gate, more features and a modern design. However, the engine refinement and some ergonomic issues are still present.

But what the Safari will be banking on is its fantastic road presence, hugely practical and spacious cabin, and lastly, the wide array of variants on offer. It sure is a lot more car for the money now, and that’s something SUV buyers today are willing to pay for.

What is the logic of such a steep price hike within 4 years? Not just this model, it seems like the luxury makers have collectively driven up pricing of all models in the last 5 years in a super aggressive manner - which is neither linked to change in taxes/ duties or exchange rates. Could this be a collusion of some sorts?

Booked 2023 Tata Safari top variant; thoughts after a short test drive

Tata still needs to improve the QC for its vehicles, the test drive vehicle I drove (could be delivery one as well) had 100 kms on the odometer.

BHPian Wakeupsid recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Did the test drive of the new facelift safari last week here are my observations,

• The drive was pretty smooth, cabin insulation seems much better than the previous gen safari.
• The new gear shifter feels premium, just would have been better had it had more metal than plastic.
• The audio sound through the new speaker setup seems great, but felt MG Hector's speakers had better clarity and bass, nonetheless, it is still good.
• For some reason, I felt under-thigh support was a bit lacking, maybe I could have played around with the seating position, was getting late to the office so had to hurry.
• The new infotainment system, driver display unit and 360 camera deserve a special mention, they are really top notch and Tata has really outdone themselves (fingers crossed, too early to celebrate). The cameras really have excellent clarity. Blindspot monitoring along with a lane change camera really works nicely in tandem.
• These new 19-inch tyres really have better road connection I feel, waiting to test them over the rough surfaces to see how much they pass the undulations back into the cabin. But on Hyderabad's outer ring road, they really soaked those small rumble strips with ease and the ride felt even. Did not observe much tyre noise either.
• High-speed stability and braking seem adequate for the size of the car.
• The blower does sound a bit loud when in 3, but that again is not a big issue as once the cabin is cool, it should be silent considering the blower on speed 2 is silent.
• 3rd row is comfortable for adults 5'8" and below, others might feel a bit knees-up position. But still is better for a couple of hours trips.
• The Steering felt light to maneuver at low speed and weighed up nicely as speed climbed up, and this does reflect on how the vehicle feels. The new facelift safari feels easy to drive in traffic and doesn't remind too much of its size as compared to an older version. Though don't expect an XUV 700 feel, that felt like a hatch when driving. Safari will still remind you that you are driving a big vehicle but in a very subtle manner.
• Steering buttons felt a bit tacky, they don't give you a premium feel and they also seem to have a bit of extra gap between buttons and the steering surface sometimes your nails or fingers might partially come in between them, and this might lead to them being uprooted if not careful.

Tata still needs to improve the QC for its vehicles, the test drive vehicle I drove (which could be a delivery one as well) had 100 kms on the odometer. The powered seat button on the driver's side already came off on the vehicle when I tried to adjust the seats, that sort of drove me crazy as its a brand new vehicle and this type of quality issue does not inspire confidence in the brand.

Overall I liked the new Facelift Safari, just got information from my dealer that the vehicle has been billed at the factory. I booked the Accomplished plus AT in galactic blue color. Hopefully, QC is a bit better on the delivery vehicles.

3. Trusted Same Mechanicals; Turbo-Petrol Incoming

The recently updated Safari and Harrier models maintain their existing engine and transmission configurations, without any alterations. Both SUVs retain their robust 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine, which generates an impressive 168 bhp of power and a peak torque of 350 Nm. Customers are still offered the flexibility to select between the 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions for these vehicles.

However, the icing on the cake happens to be a turbo-petrol unit that has been confirmed by the brand for next year. And with this announcement, the enthusiasts will be elated for sure.

4. Tata Safari Facelift: Digital Driver's Display & Larger Infotainment

5. Equipped with ADAS

The new Tata Safari facelift SUV has upped its safety game by incorporating Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) technology, enhancing safety in a multitude of driving scenarios. This notable safety feature not only elevates the SUV's security but also positions it as a strong competitor against rivals like the Mahindra XUV700 SUV. Notably. the Red Dark Edition of the Safari had the ADAS, but now it has made its way to the regular variants.

Verdict In conclusion, the updated Tata Safari facelift impresses with a tech-forward and safe driving experience, making it a strong contender in its segment. With the incorporation of ADAS technology, it enhances safety, while the sophisticated digital instrument cluster and infotainment system provide a blend of style and advanced features, reaffirming its iconic status in the SUV category.

Expert's Conclusion

The Tata Safari has always been admired for its strong presence, comfort, and roominess. With this upgrade, Tata Motors has made it even more appealing through better design, a more luxurious interior, and improved technology in the infotainment and ADAS.

Tata Safari Expert Review

The  Tata Safari , a renowned name in the SUV market, was reintroduced in 2021. The 7-seater SUV has now received its first facelift. The 2023 Safari sees extensive updates in its looks, interior, and features.

Within the price range of Rs 25-30 lakhs, the Safari stands as a strong choice for families seeking a spacious SUV, competing with rivals like the  MG Hector Plus , Mahindra XUV700 , and the Hyundai Alcazar .

Let's delve deeper into what’s changed.

The shape and dimensions of the Tata Safari remain unaltered. It continues to assert its presence as a large SUV, measuring nearly 4.7 meters in length and 1.8 meters in width. The changes primarily focus on the lighting components, as well as the front and rear bumpers and alloy wheels.

The revamped front end is now more stylish with the connected daytime running lights and body-colored elements on the grille. The bumper design has been completely reimagined and now features LED projector headlights and LED fog lamps. Notably, a functional vent in the bumper contributes to improved aerodynamics.

The side profile remains largely unaltered, with the exception of the fresh alloy wheel design. The base variants (Smart and Pure) are equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, while the mid-spec Adventure model sports 18-inch alloy wheels. In contrast, the top-spec Accomplished and Dark variants feature striking 19-inch alloy wheels.

Observing the rear of the Safari, you'll immediately notice the updated tail light graphics and the redesigned rear bumper.

Color options on the 2023 Tata Safari are as follows:

Tata Motors has adopted a fresh strategy by creating 'Personas' rather than traditional variants, resulting in each Safari variant getting a distinct look and ambiance. The base-spec Smart/Pure versions feature a modest gray upholstery, while the Adventure variant gets chocolate brown upholstery. On the other hand, the top-spec Accomplished variant showcases a Range Rover-like sophisticated white-gray dual-tone interior combination, while the Dark variant gets an all-black cabin theme.

The dashboard of the Safari has undergone a redesign, appearing slimmer and more upmarket. The accent on the dashboard is now slimmer, and the central AC vents have been widened. Beneath, a gloss black panel accommodates the new touch-panel for climate control and other vehicle functions.

Another notable addition is the 4-spoke steering wheel, which gets a classy design and  premium look thanks to the white-grey two-tone wrapping. The wheel also features an illuminated logo and backlit switches for music/calls and instrument cluster control.

In terms of fit and finish, there is a marked difference, evident in the improved panel alignment and material quality consistency.

Regarding cabin space, there are no noteworthy differences. The wide-opening doors make ingress effortless, although it's advisable to install side steps if elderly passengers frequently use the vehicle. The rear seat space remains spacious as ever, with ample room for a six-footer to sit comfortably behind a six-foot-tall driver.

However, Tata has not incorporated one-touch tumble functionality for the third row. To access the third row in the captain seat version, one can walk through the middle row or recline and slide the second-row seat forward. While the third row has just about enough space for adults, it's best suited for children during extended journeys. Additionally, there isn't much foot room beneath the second-row seats, requiring passengers to extend at least one foot towards the center.

When all three rows of seats are occupied, the available boot space is non-existent, enough only for a couple of backpacks. Folding down the third row of seats, however, opens up a substantial 420 liters of storage space. Sadly, the third row doesn't fold completely flat, and there's a slight incline that can cause luggage to slide. Folding the second row of seats gets you a generous 827 liters of space.

Here’s a quick runthrough of the new features on the Safari

Dual-Zone Climate Control: This system allows individual temperature settings for the driver and co-driver, and it can be adjusted using the physical controls, touchscreen, or voice commands.

Powered Driver's Seat (with Memory): The driver's seat offers a 6-way power adjustment feature, with manual lumbar adjustment, and includes three memory settings for added convenience.

12.3-Inch Touchscreen: The free-floating touchscreen, featuring a sleek bezel, exudes a premium feel. It offers clear and crisp graphics with quick response times. This screen can also be used to access various car functions, including climate control, powered tailgate, and ambient lighting. It supports Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

10.25-Inch Instrument Cluster: The instrument cluster provides three distinct views: a single dial view, dual dial view, and digital view. The screen remains legible even in direct sunlight and can be controlled via buttons on the steering wheel.

10-Speaker JBL Sound System: This sound system delivers excellent clarity and deep bass. It includes 13 sound profiles by AudioWorX, allowing you to select equalizer settings tailored to your musical preferences.

360-Degree Camera: The cameras have good resolution, providing the driver with a clear view. Indicating activates the respective camera, simplifying lane changes and tight maneuvers.

Powered Tailgate: The boot can now be opened electrically through various methods, such as using the switch on the boot, the key fob, a mobile app, or the touchscreen. Additionally, a hands-free operation is possible by kicking under the rear bumper.

In addition to these new features, several existing highlight features including front seat ventilation, a powered co-driver's seat with "Boss mode", rear seat ventilation (available in the 6-seater configuration), a panoramic sunroof, and ambient lighting have been retained in the 2023 Safari.

Tata Motors has confirmed that structural enhancements have been incorporated in the new Safari. Standard features include:

Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is also on offer with the Adventure+ A, Accomplished+ and Accomplished+ Dark variants. 

Performance

The Tata Safari retains its single 2.0-litre diesel engine without any changes in its tuning, maintaining the same power output of 170PS and torque of 350Nm. This engine is available with a choice of a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Compared to the previous version, you will notice a minor improvement in noise levels inside the cabin.

We’d recommend opting for the automatic version as it makes driving more convenient. The engine's response is adequate for city commuting, and it offers ample power for day-long road trips. Additionally, Tata Motors now provides paddle shifters with the automatic transmission, allowing drivers to manually shift gears if desired.

The Safari maintains its previous drive mode options, including Eco, City, and Sport modes, along with three 'Terrain' modes: Rough, Wet, and Normal.

Ride and Handling

The wheel size has been increased from the previous version’s 18 inches to 19 inches. Tata has fine-tuned the suspension to maintain a comfortable ride and absorb jarring impacts. While you might occasionally sense the road's surface at lower speeds, there's minimal side-to-side rocking on uneven roads. The Safari exudes a sense of confidence and comfort, even when cruising at triple-digit speeds, making family road trips fun.

Tata has also introduced an electric power steering system, which has resulted in improved steering responsiveness. It remains light enough for easy maneuvering in tight urban spaces, including quick u-turns and parking. Steering weight at high speeds is satisfactory too.

Beyond its well- known brand and more advanced looks, the Tata Safari inspires an audacious station in me that feeds my love of trip. Every portion of the Safari is erected for comfort and adventure, from its luxurious inside to its tough surface. Whether Navigating megacity Streets and out- road tracks, the strong machine and more advanced technologies guarantee a comfortable and pleasurable ride. My safari ride experience is invariably intriguing and indelible because of its wide cabin and adjustable seating arrangements. I love driving this car with my blood and going on out-of-door conditioning. it makes every trip special.

Now it has got complete LEDs and the touch and feels is very premium and the exterior look very premium but the boot space is not good. The interior is look like a very high pricing car and comes with the soft touch plastic and the features are over loaded in Tata Safari. Both the rows are excellent in terms of space and comfort and the 2 diesel engine come with this SUV and i think the driving experience is outstanding and i am in love with this with the amazing power.

The sturdy design and adjustable features of the Tata Safari inspire my to looks the spirit of adventure. It provides enough space for families appearing for adventure and their things, making it a genuine SUV. Whether my are negotiating megacity Streets and out- road tracks, its important machine and advanced technologies guarantee a smooth and comfortable ride. The Safari's wide and luxurious innards make it the nice agent for special passages with close musketeers and blood, opening up fresh lookouts on every drive.

As I own the Tata Safari, I can attest to its remarkable qualities. Tata Safari, the vehicle which you can rely on and buy at fair price, has a tremendous value for its excellent build and long list of features. Its impressive tall miles are the good trade-off between high performance and economy on other trips. Its bold appearance, ample room in the interior, quite a strong engine, and stylish colors to choose from gives freedom to the buyer to use it for travel and adventure.

The six seater Tata Safari SUV is a mind blowing and very stunning looking car and it get one of the most modern cabin with the top class material quality. The interior is very high on premiumness and has a great amount of space with gorgeous look and feel but the ADAS does not come with all the varient. This modern and premium SUV gives modern and new age tech and features and the third row is also comfortable but i think the price is high and mileage is less.

The Tata Safari redefines the SUV experience for current driver like me by carrying along its major moniker with a new looks and sense of adventure. I like the Safari because of its tough surface and wide cabin, which give enough room for both people and car to go on any trip. For both off- road trips and city commuting, the Safari's design features and smooth best experience make for a connected and affable ride. Withmore advanced technology and dynamic capabilities, Tata machines has clicked in creating a supercar that embraces the future while contemporaneously paying homage to its history. My favorite car is the Safari because of its special mix of best experience, history, and rigidity.

The Tata Safari is a spacious and family-friendly SUV, comfortably accommodating up to seven passengers. With a mileage of 16 km/litre, it offers decent fuel efficiency for its size. Its powerful engine ensures a smooth driving experience, especially on highways. However, the interior could feel more luxurious, lacking some premium touches found in competitors. The Safari's all-wheel-drive capability enhances its off-road performance, while safety features like airbags and ABS provide peace of mind. Overall, it's a practical choice for those seeking a versatile SUV with ample space and solid performance

My Tata Safari, ruggedness and spaciousness blend perfectly, keeping passengers comfortable with offering outstanding performance. Its sturdy 2.2-liter diesel engine and multi-terrain four-wheel drive system allows it dominate all road and other terrains. Inside space is allocated for passengers and goods while on board using only the best materials. The Safari is nicely designed, keeping innovation in mind for the modern day generation. Finally, Tata Safari proves to be a reliable, durable as well as versatile utility vehicle for people with an intermediate budget.

With the smooth diesel engine Tata Safari is a very modern and mind blowing looking car that is a six or seven seater SUV. It is a very comfortable car and also the third row is comfortable and the spacing and support is very good and the interior design is unmatchable but the AWD is missing. With the high safety rating and modern tech and features it is a fully loaded car but the touchscreen usage is not that good. It looks very stylish standing on the road and get amazing experience with driving but the mileage is not good.

Can The 2021 Tata Safari Hit 200 Kmph? - VIDEO

After being showcased as the Gravitas concept in both the 2019 Frankfurt Motor show and 2020 Delhi AutoExpo, Tata Motors finally launched the all-new Safari last month. The old Safari was a beloved SUV that was in production for over two decades. It was also the first vehicle in India to be marketed as a lifestyle-oriented product than just being utilitarian. The new Safari is based on Tata’s OMEGARC platform which also underpins the smaller Tata Harrier, and both look quite similar as well but the 7-seater does get a few unique touches to be distinct. It has also garnered a very positive response as over 3,000 bookings have taken place already. Today we came across this video where the new 2021 Tata Safari Hit 200 Kmph

2021 Tata Safari vs Mahindra XUV500 Comparison

The video has been uploaded by Arun Panwar on YouTube in which we can see this 2021 Tata Safari being driven for a top speed run. The run starts with the Safari in city mode, and the 7-seater SUV pulls strongly till 4 th gear, around 130 kmph. The last two gears are considerably longer which means acceleration is slower but keeps on piling up speed. After reaching around 190 kmph the Safari stops accelerating more, though after switching to sport mode, speeds climb up a little to just reach 200 kmph. For a big, heavy SUV which can seat 7 people in comfort, a top speed of close to the double hundred is mighty impressive.

The 2021 Tata Safari comes loaded with features like auto projector headlights with LED DRLs with indicator function, LED taillights, an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with integrated Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, semi-digital instrument cluster, auto-dimming IRVM, cruise control, driving modes, rain-sensing wipers, height-adjustable driver’s seat, tilt and telescoping adjustable steering wheel, a tyre pressure monitoring system, an 8-speaker audio system and more. Safety features include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, Hill Hold Assist, roll-over mitigation, rear disc brakes and an Electronic Stability Program.

Prices for the Tata Safari start from Rs 14.69 lakh and goes up to Rs 21.45 lakh for the Adventure Persona Edition. Do note that all prices are ex-showroom. It is powered by the FCA-sourced 2-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that produces 170 PS/350 Nm of peak power and torque figures. It can be paired with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic.

Tata Safari (2021) Review

Expert review by maxabout, introduction.

The first-gen Tata Safari was introduced in 1998 by the homegrown automobile manufacturer Tata Motors. This mid-size SUV has gone through various updates in the past few years. Nowadays, many automakers are reintroducing their SUVs with captain seats and other significant changes. In this way, the Tata company has also launched its 2021 model, Tata Safari, compliant with BS6 norms.

This all-new model was initially named Buzzard in 2019 and later shown as Gravitas at the Auto Expo in 2020. It was, however, released under the name Safari in January 2021. The new Tata Safari comes with several driving modes, including Eco, City, and Sport, as well as hill control and cruise control.

Tata Safari Design & Style

This just-launched Safari is only getting the name Safari; otherwise, it has no similarity with the previous versions. The new Tata Safari’s architecture is OMRGARC (Optimal Modular Efficient Global Advanced Architecture), which is derived from the Land Rover’s D8 platform. It comes with a chrome-studded tri-arrow front grille, roof rails with Safari branding, HID Xenon projector headlamps coupled with dual function LED DRLs, and 3D LED taillamps.

As per the body dimensions, the new model SUV is 4661 mm in length, 1894 mm in width, and 1786 mm in height, with a 2741 mm wheelbase. The panoramic sunroof is available to enhance the riding quality. Roof rails are also available in non-sunroof variants to carry items weighing up to 75 kg. The plastic coating on the D-pillar slides down as an extension of the roof rail.

Tata Safari Interior Space

While talking about the interiors of this recently presented SUV, the company has loaded the new Safari with plenty of astonishing features such as a 6-way powered driver seat with adjustable lumbar support to comfort the lower back, 6 airbags, luxurious captain seats, a 3rd-row offered with separate air vents, cup holders, adjustable headrests, reading lights, two USB ports, and three-point seat belts.

The most significant thing about the interior is that the cabin is spacious enough. It is an oyster-white color theme with 3 rows of stadium seating. The 3rd-row seats are equally as comfortable as the other two rows, with ample headspace and leg space. The passengers may even relocate the front-row seats from the second row using a function known as "Boss Mode".

With the seating adjustability, users have the option of choosing various modes according to their requirements. These are called "experience modes" and are available as an executive, jamming, beach, camping, family drive, weekend, and golf mode. Besides this, child seat Isofix anchor points are available on rear seats.

Tata Safari Dashboard & Instrument Console

Looking forward to the dashboard of this stylish SUV, the grey-finished ashwood trim complements the rich-looking all-white upholstery. The centre of the console is equipped with an 8.8-inch Floating Island infotainment system that has an advanced 22.35cm high-resolution touchscreen supporting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.

This new model comes with iRA connected car technology, which offers multiple features such as gamification, remote commanding, over-the-air updates and more. For the best sound quality possible, the new Safari has nine JBL speakers. The premium 320W audio system is available with 4 speakers, 4 tweeters, and 1 subwoofer with an amplifier.

Furthermore, the digital analogue cluster displays the tyre pressure and other crucial information. The SUV has ambient lights, fully automatic temperature control with HVAC, rain-sensing wipers, start-stop push-button, electrically adjustable and foldable outside mirrors, reverse camera parking, automatic headlamps, and a cooled storage box between the front seats.

Tata Safari Engine & Gearbox

Moreover, 2023 Tata Safari is powered by a BS6-compliant Kryotec 2.0L turbocharged, 1956cc, in-line 4-cylinder diesel engine that churns out 170 HP of power at 3750 rpm and 350 NM of torque at 1750–2500 rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission. Also, it comes with advanced ESP terrain response modes such as normal, rough, and wet to make the driving smooth and safe.

Tata Safari Variants and Color Options

The new model of Safari is available in 10 variants, which are XE, XM, XMA, XT, XT Plus, XTA Plus, XZ, XZA, XZ Plus, and XZA Plus. This SUV comes in six and seven-seat configurations, depending on the model. Oberon Black, White Gold, Black Gold, Royal Blue, Tropical Mist, Daytona Grey, Orcus White, and Tropical Mist Adventure are seven available paint choices.

Tata Safari Brakes, Suspension & Tyres

As for the braking duties of the SUV, it comes with front and rear disc brakes and electronic parking brakes with auto hold. 2023 Tata Safari is supported by an independent, lower wishbone, McPherson strut suspension with coil spring and anti roll bar up front and a semi-independent twist blade suspension with Panhard rod and coil spring up back. It has 235/70-R16 steel wheels in the XE, XM, and XMS variants, whereas the other variants have 235/60-R18 alloy wheels along with the 235/70-R16 size spare wheel.

Tata Safari Top Speed and Mileage

Furthermore, this brand-new SUV offers a 175+ kmph top speed. The kerb weight of the car is 1825 kg, but still, it gives better speed and sprints from a standstill to 100 kmph in around 11.48 seconds. When it comes to mileage, the new Safari is equipped with a 50-liter fuel tank and provides 16.14 kmpl as per ARAI. However, the mileage can vary according to the driver and the user.

Verdict - Should You Buy Tata Safari or not?

In the end, this newly launched Tata Safari is no doubt an outstanding SUV by Tata Motors, which offers enhanced levels of comfort and an excellent driving experience. But still, it has some flaws, such as no AWD feature and it is no longer a rugged and off-road SUV compared to its previous versions. However, the brand has loaded this new launch with all-new technologies to make it a tough competitor for the other SUVs in its segment.

Tata Safari Review

The Tata Safari is a well-known brand in the SUV market. This name was reintroduced in 2021, and we now have the first major update to the seven-seater SUV. The Safari facelift 2023 has been updated extensively in terms of looks, interior experience, and technology. 

For buyers looking for a large family SUV in the Rs 25-30 lakh range, the Safari has been a strong option among rivals such as the MG Hector Plus, Mahindra XUV700, and Hyundai Alcazar. 

Let’s take a closer look at the changes Tata Motors has made. 

With the facelift, the basic shape and size of the Safari remains unchanged. It continues to be a large SUV, measuring nearly 4.7 metres in length and 1.8 metres in width. The updates have been made to the lighting elements, front and rear bumpers, and alloy wheels. 

The new front looks more modern with the connected daytime running lights, and body-coloured elements on the grille. Tata Motors has chosen to not add chrome garnishes, which makes the new Safari look subtle and classy. The bumper design has been changed entirely and it now features LED projector headlights and LED fog lamps. There’s a functional vent in the bumper that helps in aerodynamics as well. 

The  profile remains unchanged except for the new alloy wheel design. Base variants (Smart and Pure) get 17-inch alloy wheels, the mid-spec Adventure model gets 18-inch alloy wheels, whereas the top-spec Accomplished and Dark variants get 19-inch alloy wheels. 

At the rear, you will notice the new taillight graphics and the new bumper. 

The Tata Safari 2023 colour options are as follows: 

With Tata Motors’ new approach of creating ‘Personas’ instead of variants — each variant of the Safari has a unique look and feel. The base-spec Smart/Pure variants get simple grey upholstery, the Adventure variants get chocolate brown upholstery, and the top-spec Accomplished variant features a premium white-grey dual tone combination. The Dark variant gets an all-black cabin theme. 

Tata Motors has redesigned the dashboard of the Safari, making it look slimmer and luxurious. The accent on the dashboard is now slimmer, and the central AC vents are now wider. A gloss black panel runs underneath it and houses the new touch panel for the climate control and other vehicle functions. 

Also new is the four-spoke steering wheel. The design is classy, and with the white-grey two-tone wrap looks upmarket too. It also gets the illuminated logo and the backlit switches that control music/calls and the instrument cluster. 

In terms of fit and finish, there’s a noticeable improvement. The way the panels fit together, the consistency in material quality are positive changes. 

On the space front, there’s nothing new to report. The doors open wide, and climbing into the cabin does not require effort. Do note that it’s best you install side steps if the elders in your family will be using the car. Rear seat space, as before, is more than enough for a six-footer to sit comfortably behind a six-foot-tall driver. 

Tata has not added one-touch tumble to the Safari — that is a miss. So you can either ‘walk’ to the third row from the middle in the captain seat version, or recline and slide the second row seat forward. Third row space is surprisingly accommodating for adults, but for long journeys, it is best left to kids. There’s not much foot room under the second row seats, so you have to keep at least one foot out towards the centre. 

A major draw of the new Tata Safari 2023 are the new features.

Dual-zone climate control:  Allows you to set separate temperatures for driver and co-driver side. Temperature can be set using the physical switches, from the touchscreen, and voice command. 

Powered Driver’s Seat (with Memory):  6-way power adjust functionality. Lumbar adjustment is manual. Three memory settings are available. 

12.3-inch Touchscreen:  Free-floating touchscreen with a thin bezel looks premium. Graphics are clear and crisp, and response times are quick. Interface is easy to get used to. Supports Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Can also be used to access various car functions such as climate control, powered tailgate and ambient lighting. 

10.25-inch Instrument Cluster:  Has three views: 1 dial view, 2 dial view and digital. Screen is easy to read even in sunlight. Can be controlled using buttons on the steering wheel.

10-speaker JBL Sound System:  Good clarity, deep bass. It gets 13 sound profiles by AudioWorX that give you a collection of equaliser settings which you can select based on the kind of music you listen to. 

360 degree camera:  Good resolution. Driver gets a clear view. Indicating left/right activates the respective camera, making lane changes and tight turns a little more convenient. 

Powered Tailgate:  The boot can now be opened electrically. You can either press the switch on the boot, use the button on the key or use the app. Alternatively, you can also use the touchscreen and the button on the touch panel. You can also kick under the rear bumper for hands free operation. 

Other highlight features such as front seat ventilation, powered co-driver’s seat (with Boss mode), rear seat ventilation (6-seater only), panoramic sunroof, and ambient lighting have been carried over to the new Safari 2023. 

Tata Motors claims to have made structural changes to the Safari to further improve safety. Standard safety features include: 

Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is also on offer with the Adventure+ A, Accomplished+ and Accomplished+ Dark variants. 

Other features such as traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, rear collision warning and overtaking assist are also available. Tata Motors will add lane centering assist and lane keep assist as a software update in the coming months. 

Performance

The Safari continues to get a single 2-litre diesel engine. There’s no change in the tuning of the engine — it continues to make 170PS and 350Nm as before. It is offered with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission. 

We will recommend buying the automatic version since it adds more convenience to the drive. There’s no major difference in the way Safari drives. The engine response is satisfactory for city drives and there’s more than enough power for long highway drives. Tata Motors is now offering paddle shifters with the automatic if you want the feel of shifting gears yourself. 

As before, the Safari gets Eco, City, and Sport drive modes. There are three ‘Terrain’ modes: Rough, Wet and Normal. 

Ride and Handling

Wheel size has gone up, from 18 inches of the previous version to 19 inches. In this process, one would expect the ride comfort to become worse. But that’s not the case: Tata has tuned the suspension well to be comfortable and cushion harsh impacts. You can feel the surface at times at slow speeds, but there’s not much of the side-to-side rocking movement when going over broken roads. The Safari feels confident and comfortable at triple-digit speeds, making highway trips all the more enjoyable. 

Tata now uses an electric power steering, which has enabled them to provide a better steering response. It is light enough for quick u-turns and parking in tight spaces inside the city. At the same time, the weight felt satisfactory at high speeds. 

The Safari always had presence, comfort, and space on its side. With this update, Tata Motors has made it more desirable with a better design, upmarket feeling on the interior and a better tech package with the infotainment and ADAS.

TOP-11 Moscow Parks to Visit

I have chosen the best 11 Moscow parks to visit and spend a beautiful time for you. Do not miss and choose one that you like the most – cycling, festivals, flowers, panoramic views and many other things are waiting for you!

Gorky Park (The Central Park of Culture and Leisure) – The main one of the Moscow Parks

In my opinion this park could be called the main park of the city. Why? Because of its huge territory, the central location and the amount of people visiting the park daily.  It was founded in 1928 and in 2011 it was totally reconstructed. Now it pleases visitors with modern objects and soft green lawns.

• Oktybrskaya or Park Kultuty metro station, Krimsky Val, 9

The Gorky park is a the right choice for everyone! The youth will like a free WiFi, bicycles, skateboards and other rentals; the couples will enjoy spending time near the river, watching a sunset; parents will appreciate colorful playgrounds and a room for mother and child. Everyone can find something for themselves: from yoga classes  to watching movies in a cozy summer cinema, from dance classes to volleyball playground. Gorky Park is also the venue for all kinds of exhibitions, festivals, events for children and adults. During the winter there is one of the biggest skating rinks in the park.

Museon Art Park – A Second Gorky they say

“Museon” is located on the opposite side of Krimsky Val street. And right now some people believe that Gorky and Museon together is a one space sharing the same beauty.

• Oktybrskaya or Park Kultuty metro station, Krimsky Val, 2

The Park of Arts was named this way because there is the largest composition of open-air sculptures in Russia. In its territory there are already more than 1000 unique exhibits: from monuments of the socialist realism era to various kinds of contemporary art. But this is not all the attractions of the park. In recent years, “Museon” has become an important cultural site of the city. The park regularly hold many different concerts, festivals, educational projects in the field of art and design. There is a Central House of the Artist, a comfortable summer cinema and other attractions on territory. Be sure to stroll pedestrian Crimean embankment, which looks like a modern park.

Neskuchny Garden – True Russian Nature is Here

Neskuchny garden is located on the right bank of the Moscow River. Today it is also seen as a part of the Gorky Park. This landscape park is one of the oldest in the city and is protected by the state. Its name was received from the Neskuchnoye Estate of  Prince Trubetskoi which is still located in the park.

• Leninsky Prospekt metro station, Leninsky Prospect, 30

This park is famous mostly for its location close to the Gorky park. It is a quite place with true nature, lots of trees and squirrels and also ancient architecture. As in every park, there are sports and playgrounds, cafes and even a football field.

Zaryadye Park – 5 Steps Away From The Red Square

The area of this brand new park was opened only in September 2017 and located in the very heart of Moscow – right near the Red Square.

• Open from 10AM to 10PM
• Teatralnaya, Okhotnyi ryad, Ploschad Revolutsii

The park has 4 zones, each of them represent different parts of Russian landscapes. Above the river there is a floating bridge from where you get to see one of the best panoramic views on Moscow. Other attractions of the park are 5D cinema where you can take a flight above Moscow, few cafes and restaurants, pretty lakes with fishes and old preserved churches. In addition there is still being built a  philharmonic hall, covered with a huge dome and an Ice cage where the temperature will always stay below zero degrees.

When you are on the Red Square do not miss it!

All-Russia Exhibition Center (VDNKh) – The Soviet Style Moscow Park

Park VDNKh – one of the most famous parks in Moscow. This park is one of the sights of the city as it hasn’t changed much since the Soviet era.

• VDNKh metro station, Prospect Mira, 119

The symbol of VDNKh is a fountain with 16 women symbolizing the friendship of the nations of the USSR. Around this fountain there are all the pavilions representing 16 republics. Now inside the pavilions you find various shops, cafes and exhibitions. If you go deep inside the park you will find a rocket Vostok and and an aircraft. What is funny the inside of the aircraft there is actually a photo exhibition. Near the northern entrance you there is a famous sculpture “Worker and Kolkhoz Woman”. It is extremely famous among Russians as all the movies by Mosfilm corporation used to start with the picture of this statue. But if you go further inside the park you will reach a very calm area. A lake is there, forest and birds singing. Since the park occupies a large area I suggest you to rent a bicycle.

Sokolniki Park – A Place For A Hunt Or For Leisure?

The park got its name because of the royal falconry, which took place there in the past when there was a dense forest. (Sokol means a falcon.) In 2011 it was significantly transformed: updated lawns, landscaped ponds and picnic areas, restored summer cinema and theater, a large rose garden, sports grounds, bicycle paths and other things.

• Sokolniki metro station, Sokolnichesky Val, 1, p. 1

From the main entrance along the alley you can walk to the Sokolniki circle, where 8 alleys form 9 sectors, in each of them you will find trees of the same breed.  The park is famous for its rosary, as well as flower decoration. On the territory of the park there are concert halls, a library, amusement zone, dances zone and many many other attractions. In winter the park has a skating rink (a free of charge one) and ski runs. During the warm season you can rent a bicycle.

Tsaritsino Park – A Different World Inside Moscow

Here you can walk for hours, admiring the most beautiful nature and magnificent architecture.

• Open from 6AM to 12AM
• Tsaritsyno metro station, Dolsky, 1

The most amazing part of the park is the lake with a light and musical fountain. Every evening the fountain starts the show. Lights and music combined make you feel like you are not in Moscow but in a fairy tale. The park is also well equipped for sports lovers and healthy lifestyle. There are volleyball and basketball courts, a tennis court, sports facilities for acrobatics, bodybuilding equipment.

What I personally like about this park is the atmosphere. This place is actually far from the city center but I love going there anyway. Whenever I go there I feel like I left Moscow with all its hectic lifestyle. It is the place where I relax, enjoy myself or a company of my friends and feel kind of different. By the way totally suggested for a date!

Kolomenskoye Park – Combination Of Reserve and Architecture

The Kolomenskoye park is actually a Museum-Reserve. It is a former residence of Russian tsars and one of the most scenic places in Moscow.

• May to September – open from 8AM to 12AM, October to April – from 8AM to 9PM
• Kolomenskoye metro station, Andropov Ave, 39

 Alike with Tsaritsino park Kolomenskoye park has its own special atmosphere with all the architecture, trees, ponds and even a river bank. The park regularly hosts various folk festivals and different fairs. In summer time you can play with kites or rent a bicycle and ride around the huge area of the park.

I love the view that you get on the city from one of the hills near the river. I love the apple trees alleys and the beautiful churches. It is also a bit far from the city center but yet worth going there. One of my best friends even celebrated her wedding there.

Aptekarsky Garden or Botanical garden of the Moscow State University – The Best Botanical Garden in The World

Aptekar in Russian language means a pharmacist so basically it is a pharmacist’s garden. It was founded in 1706 by Peter The Great for growing medicinal plants for the royal family. But later they moved it from under the walls of the Kremlin to the current location.

• Open from 10AM to 8PM
• Prospect Mira metro station, Prospekt Mira, 26

In the botanical garden there are no attractions and noisy crowds of tourists. The area of the garden is not as big as any other park in Moscow. And the entrance is not free. But this exactly what makes this park one of the most comfortable in the city. In the Aptekarsky garden they grow thousands of different plants, flowers and trees. Some of the trees are more than 300 years old. They held different festivals there: flowers festivals, sand and ice sculptures expositions.

For me it is one of the most beautiful parks not only in Moscow but in the world. I have never seen so many different flowers and plants anywhere else. And trust me I am a real park lover. And what is more the staff really takes care about every single tree or plant there, some of the trees have names and stories. I love it there and I think the price is really worth what you get.

Victory Park – A Park That Makes Us Remember The War

The park is located on the Poklonnaya Hill and it has one of the world’s largest memorial complexes dedicated to the World War II. The park was opened for the 50th anniversary of the Victory on May 9, 1995. It is also one of the main venues in the city for holding a variety of mass events.

• Park Pobedy metro station, Brothers Fonchenko, 7

On the main avenue of the park there are with 1418 fountains – exactly as long as the war lasted. Fountains make five water terraces, symbolizing five years of military operations. And in the center of the park there is the Museum of the Great Patriotic War. If you are interested in the history of the war do not miss it. The Poklonnaya Hill is a part of the park and from the hill you get one of the best views on the city of Moscow. And I could say this is the best place for watching the fireworks during the mass celebrations. But be aware it gets too crowded then. As in most of the other big parks you can rent a bicycle or rollers there.

Izmailovsky Park – A Mix of a Big Forest and Attractions

Izmaylovsky Park occupies a huge green territory, making up a large part of the Izmailovo district. The park consists of two parts: Izmaylovsky Park of Culture and Rest and the forest park of Izmailovo. First part is full of attractions and restaurants while the second one is like a real forest with pine trees, birch groves, beautiful clearings and ponds.

• Izmaylovskaya, Shosse Entuziastov or Partizanskaya metro stations, Izmaylovsky Park

It is easy to spend there a whole day. A large landscaped area and a lot of various entertainments for children and adults will help you not to get bored. An observation wheel, a boat station, children’s playgrounds, a dance floor, sports grounds, a skate park – all this is only a small part of the possible leisure activities. In the park there are bike paths and a rental services.

I don’t go there often to be honest. But the park is very very close whenever to a souvenir market on Partizanskaya metro station. And whenever the weather is nice and I have enough of free time I stroll through the alleys of the park and enjoy the nature. So if you are going to the souvenir market too and you have enough free time then do go to the park too.

In Transit: Notes from the Underground

Jun 06 2018.

Spend some time in one of Moscow’s finest museums.

Subterranean commuting might not be anyone’s idea of a good time, but even in a city packing the war-games treasures and priceless bejeweled eggs of the Kremlin Armoury and the colossal Soviet pavilions of the VDNKh , the Metro holds up as one of Moscow’s finest museums. Just avoid rush hour.

The Metro is stunning and provides an unrivaled insight into the city’s psyche, past and present, but it also happens to be the best way to get around. Moscow has Uber, and the Russian version called Yandex Taxi , but also some nasty traffic. Metro trains come around every 90 seconds or so, at a more than 99 percent on-time rate. It’s also reasonably priced, with a single ride at 55 cents (and cheaper in bulk). From history to tickets to rules — official and not — here’s what you need to know to get started.

A Brief Introduction Buying Tickets Know Before You Go (Down) Rules An Easy Tour

A Brief Introduction

Moscow’s Metro was a long time coming. Plans for rapid transit to relieve the city’s beleaguered tram system date back to the Imperial era, but a couple of wars and a revolution held up its development. Stalin revived it as part of his grand plan to modernize the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s. The first lines and tunnels were constructed with help from engineers from the London Underground, although Stalin’s secret police decided that they had learned too much about Moscow’s layout and had them arrested on espionage charges and deported.

The beauty of its stations (if not its trains) is well-documented, and certainly no accident. In its illustrious first phases and particularly after the Second World War, the greatest architects of Soviet era were recruited to create gleaming temples celebrating the Revolution, the USSR, and the war triumph. No two stations are exactly alike, and each of the classic showpieces has a theme. There are world-famous shrines to Futurist architecture, a celebration of electricity, tributes to individuals and regions of the former Soviet Union. Each marble slab, mosaic tile, or light fixture was placed with intent, all in service to a station’s aesthetic; each element, f rom the smallest brass ear of corn to a large blood-spattered sword on a World War II mural, is an essential part of the whole.

The Metro is a monument to the Soviet propaganda project it was intended to be when it opened in 1935 with the slogan “Building a Palace for the People”. It brought the grand interiors of Imperial Russia to ordinary Muscovites, celebrated the Soviet Union’s past achievements while promising its citizens a bright Soviet future, and of course, it was a show-piece for the world to witness the might and sophistication of life in the Soviet Union.

It may be a museum, but it’s no relic. U p to nine million people use it daily, more than the London Underground and New York Subway combined. (Along with, at one time, about 20 stray dogs that learned to commute on the Metro.)

In its 80+ year history, the Metro has expanded in phases and fits and starts, in step with the fortunes of Moscow and Russia. Now, partly in preparation for the World Cup 2018, it’s also modernizing. New trains allow passengers to walk the entire length of the train without having to change carriages. The system is becoming more visitor-friendly. (There are helpful stickers on the floor marking out the best selfie spots .) But there’s a price to modernity: it’s phasing out one of its beloved institutions, the escalator attendants. Often they are middle-aged or elderly women—“ escalator grandmas ” in news accounts—who have held the post for decades, sitting in their tiny kiosks, scolding commuters for bad escalator etiquette or even bad posture, or telling jokes . They are slated to be replaced, when at all, by members of the escalator maintenance staff.

For all its achievements, the Metro lags behind Moscow’s above-ground growth, as Russia’s capital sprawls ever outwards, generating some of the world’s worst traffic jams . But since 2011, the Metro has been in the middle of an ambitious and long-overdue enlargement; 60 new stations are opening by 2020. If all goes to plan, the 2011-2020 period will have brought 125 miles of new tracks and over 100 new stations — a 40 percent increase — the fastest and largest expansion phase in any period in the Metro’s history.

Facts: 14 lines Opening hours: 5 a.m-1 a.m. Rush hour(s): 8-10 a.m, 4-8 p.m. Single ride: 55₽ (about 85 cents) Wi-Fi network-wide

Buying Tickets

• Ticket machines have a button to switch to English.
• You can buy specific numbers of rides: 1, 2, 5, 11, 20, or 60. Hold up fingers to show how many rides you want to buy.
• There is also a 90-minute ticket , which gets you 1 trip on the metro plus an unlimited number of transfers on other transport (bus, tram, etc) within 90 minutes.
• Or, you can buy day tickets with unlimited rides: one day (218₽/ US$4), three days (415₽/US$7) or seven days (830₽/US$15). Check the rates here to stay up-to-date.
• If you’re going to be using the Metro regularly over a few days, it’s worth getting a Troika card , a contactless, refillable card you can use on all public transport. Using the Metro is cheaper with one of these: a single ride is 36₽, not 55₽. Buy them and refill them in the Metro stations, and they’re valid for 5 years, so you can keep it for next time. Or, if you have a lot of cash left on it when you leave, you can get it refunded at the Metro Service Centers at Ulitsa 1905 Goda, 25 or at Staraya Basmannaya 20, Building 1.
• You can also buy silicone bracelets and keychains with built-in transport chips that you can use as a Troika card. (A Moscow Metro Fitbit!) So far, you can only get these at the Pushkinskaya metro station Live Helpdesk and souvenir shops in the Mayakovskaya and Trubnaya metro stations. The fare is the same as for the Troika card.
• You can also use Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Rules, spoken and unspoken

No smoking, no drinking, no filming, no littering. Photography is allowed, although it used to be banned.

Stand to the right on the escalator. Break this rule and you risk the wrath of the legendary escalator attendants. (No shenanigans on the escalators in general.)

Get out of the way. Find an empty corner to hide in when you get off a train and need to stare at your phone. Watch out getting out of the train in general; when your train doors open, people tend to appear from nowhere or from behind ornate marble columns, walking full-speed.

Always offer your seat to elderly ladies (what are you, a monster?).

An Easy Tour

This is no Metro Marathon ( 199 stations in 20 hours ). It’s an easy tour, taking in most—though not all—of the notable stations, the bulk of it going clockwise along the Circle line, with a couple of short detours. These stations are within minutes of one another, and the whole tour should take about 1-2 hours.

Start at Mayakovskaya Metro station , at the corner of Tverskaya and Garden Ring,  Triumfalnaya Square, Moskva, Russia, 125047.

1. Mayakovskaya.  Named for Russian Futurist Movement poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and an attempt to bring to life the future he imagined in his poems. (The Futurist Movement, natch, was all about a rejecting the past and celebrating all things speed, industry, modern machines, youth, modernity.) The result: an Art Deco masterpiece that won the National Grand Prix for architecture at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. It’s all smooth, rounded shine and light, and gentle arches supported by columns of dark pink marble and stainless aircraft steel. Each of its 34 ceiling niches has a mosaic. During World War II, the station was used as an air-raid shelter and, at one point, a bunker for Stalin. He gave a subdued but rousing speech here in Nov. 6, 1941 as the Nazis bombed the city above.

Take the 3/Green line one station to:

2. Belorusskaya. Opened in 1952, named after the connected Belarussky Rail Terminal, which runs trains between Moscow and Belarus. This is a light marble affair with a white, cake-like ceiling, lined with Belorussian patterns and 12 Florentine ceiling mosaics depicting life in Belarussia when it was built.

Transfer onto the 1/Brown line. Then, one stop (clockwise) t o:

3. Novoslobodskaya.  This station was designed around the stained-glass panels, which were made in Latvia, because Alexey Dushkin, the Soviet starchitect who dreamed it up (and also designed Mayakovskaya station) couldn’t find the glass and craft locally. The stained glass is the same used for Riga’s Cathedral, and the panels feature plants, flowers, members of the Soviet intelligentsia (musician, artist, architect) and geometric shapes.

Go two stops east on the 1/Circle line to:

4. Komsomolskaya. Named after the Komsomol, or the Young Communist League, this might just be peak Stalin Metro style. Underneath the hub for three regional railways, it was intended to be a grand gateway to Moscow and is today its busiest station. It has chandeliers; a yellow ceiling with Baroque embellishments; and in the main hall, a colossal red star overlaid on golden, shimmering tiles. Designer Alexey Shchusev designed it as an homage to the speech Stalin gave at Red Square on Nov. 7, 1941, in which he invoked Russia’s illustrious military leaders as a pep talk to Soviet soldiers through the first catastrophic year of the war.   The station’s eight large mosaics are of the leaders referenced in the speech, such as Alexander Nevsky, a 13th-century prince and military commander who bested German and Swedish invading armies.

One more stop clockwise to Kurskaya station,  and change onto the 3/Blue  line, and go one stop to:

5. Baumanskaya.   Opened in 1944. Named for the Bolshevik Revolutionary Nikolai Bauman , whose monument and namesake district are aboveground here. Though he seemed like a nasty piece of work (he apparently once publicly mocked a woman he had impregnated, who later hung herself), he became a Revolutionary martyr when he was killed in 1905 in a skirmish with a monarchist, who hit him on the head with part of a steel pipe. The station is in Art Deco style with atmospherically dim lighting, and a series of bronze sculptures of soldiers and homefront heroes during the War. At one end, there is a large mosaic portrait of Lenin.

Stay on that train direction one more east to:

6. Elektrozavodskaya. As you may have guessed from the name, this station is the Metro’s tribute to all thing electrical, built in 1944 and named after a nearby lightbulb factory. It has marble bas-relief sculptures of important figures in electrical engineering, and others illustrating the Soviet Union’s war-time struggles at home. The ceiling’s recurring rows of circular lamps give the station’s main tunnel a comforting glow, and a pleasing visual effect.

Double back two stops to Kurskaya station , and change back to the 1/Circle line. Sit tight for six stations to:

7. Kiyevskaya. This was the last station on the Circle line to be built, in 1954, completed under Nikita Khrushchev’ s guidance, as a tribute to his homeland, Ukraine. Its three large station halls feature images celebrating Ukraine’s contributions to the Soviet Union and Russo-Ukrainian unity, depicting musicians, textile-working, soldiers, farmers. (One hall has frescoes, one mosaics, and the third murals.) Shortly after it was completed, Khrushchev condemned the architectural excesses and unnecessary luxury of the Stalin era, which ushered in an epoch of more austere Metro stations. According to the legend at least, he timed the policy in part to ensure no Metro station built after could outshine Kiyevskaya.

Change to the 3/Blue line and go one stop west.

8. Park Pobedy. This is the deepest station on the Metro, with one of the world’s longest escalators, at 413 feet. If you stand still, the escalator ride to the surface takes about three minutes .) Opened in 2003 at Victory Park, the station celebrates two of Russia’s great military victories. Each end has a mural by Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli, who also designed the “ Good Defeats Evil ” statue at the UN headquarters in New York. One mural depicts the Russian generals’ victory over the French in 1812 and the other, the German surrender of 1945. The latter is particularly striking; equal parts dramatic, triumphant, and gruesome. To the side, Red Army soldiers trample Nazi flags, and if you look closely there’s some blood spatter among the detail. Still, the biggest impressions here are the marble shine of the chessboard floor pattern and the pleasingly geometric effect if you view from one end to the other.

Keep going one more stop west to:

9. Slavyansky Bulvar.  One of the Metro’s youngest stations, it opened in 2008. With far higher ceilings than many other stations—which tend to have covered central tunnels on the platforms—it has an “open-air” feel (or as close to it as you can get, one hundred feet under). It’s an homage to French architect Hector Guimard, he of the Art Nouveau entrances for the Paris M é tro, and that’s precisely what this looks like: A Moscow homage to the Paris M é tro, with an additional forest theme. A Cyrillic twist on Guimard’s Metro-style lettering over the benches, furnished with t rees and branch motifs, including creeping vines as towering lamp-posts.

Stay on the 3/Blue line and double back four stations to:

10. Arbatskaya. Its first iteration, Arbatskaya-Smolenskaya station, was damaged by German bombs in 1941. It was rebuilt in 1953, and designed to double as a bomb shelter in the event of nuclear war, although unusually for stations built in the post-war phase, this one doesn’t have a war theme. It may also be one of the system’s most elegant: Baroque, but toned down a little, with red marble floors and white ceilings with gilded bronze c handeliers.

Jump back on the 3/Blue line  in the same direction and take it one more stop:

11. Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). Opened in 1938, and serving Red Square and the Kremlin . Its renowned central hall has marble columns flanked by 76 bronze statues of Soviet heroes: soldiers, students, farmers, athletes, writers, parents. Some of these statues’ appendages have a yellow sheen from decades of Moscow’s commuters rubbing them for good luck. Among the most popular for a superstitious walk-by rub: the snout of a frontier guard’s dog, a soldier’s gun (where the touch of millions of human hands have tapered the gun barrel into a fine, pointy blade), a baby’s foot, and a woman’s knee. (A brass rooster also sports the telltale gold sheen, though I am told that rubbing the rooster is thought to bring bad luck. )

Now take the escalator up, and get some fresh air.
