Tata Motors seems to be having a few upgrades lined up for the Safari Storme. These pictures taken recently show the SUV being tested on the Ooty - Masinagudi Road in the Nilgiris wearing a lot of camouflage.

While much cannot be said at the moment, the pictures suggest that Tata Motors may be giving the the car some cosmetic changes. Stickering on the rear windows could also indicate a few changes to the interiors.

Additionally, it is also possible that the Storme might be getting some mechanical changes. The 2.2-litre, VariCOR diesel engine could get a power hike which will enable it to produce 150 PS and 320 Nm of torque like the Aria.

The Tata Safari Storme was launched in 2012 and while it is a very capable product, it has not managed to sell in the numbers that its manufacturer would have hoped for. In a bid to prop up its sales, Tata Motors launched an Explorer Edition version of the SUV with additional features. The company also displayed a rugged-looking "Ladakh" version of the Safari Storme at the 2014 Auto Expo.
