Nothing wrong as such, just didn’t suit the tight inner roads of our colony.

I find Duster to be the best combo of inner space and outer dimensions. Doesn't feel cramped anywhere. Good under thigh support on both front and rear. Bigger boot than Harrier, and yet smaller from outside.

I am hoping given its timing this is a hint that the Gravitas is the new Safari or a successor. I sincerely hope that Tata is finally focusing on the pedigree that matters. Safari is an emotion that needs to live on. This badge is what introduced most Indians to an SUV and has been the Tata flagship for the longest time. It will be fitting to have the new flagship carry on the lineage and the badge. To me the Safari resonates way more than the Buzzard or Gravitas.

Officially teased by Tata Motors, production-spec Gravitas will be the New Safari

Another Auto Journalist Cyrus also posted the same on IG.

I am not sure how I am feeling about this, I feel cheated.

Tata has taken away the anticipation of waiting for a New Safari, they can't call this bigger Harrier Safari just like this, not done.

Never liked the Gravitas branding. This is good news indeed. Harrier should have been called Safari, so this will undo that mistake!

A Safari with no 4X4, not even as an option, is watering down what the brand stands for. It would have been better to reserve the nameplate for a proper 4X4

Completely agree! Safari without a 4x4 option is unthinkable

Maybe that's coming next. Just look at how many changes the Harrier came with. Also, the sunroof is a big miss. Another cool thing I reckon, and is in-line with this thought, is 2021 is all about 'reclaiming your life'. That's a superb 'connect'. Hope the original ad agency O&M gets to do some cool ads. Really miss some great ads from TAMO

I am a bit underwhelmed with this news. Unless Tata Motors provide an option for 4 wheel drive, Gravitas will not hold a candle to Safari name.
Never should have led with Gravitas as a name all this time.

This is great. Even though it is not a true Safari replacement at the moment, they will have the motivation to get that AWD as soon as possible now. Naming it Safari makes it a make or break attempt. They have to do everything to make it a success.

There is no point spending money on Hexa anymore trying to bring the BS6 edition. Focus all the money and effort on the Harrier-Safari twins is the better approach.

Seriously Tata? You had to do this a month after I drove home the Harrier. I would have gladly put down more money just for the legendary name.

Wasn't there news that they will use Safari for 4x4 versions of their vehicles or something ? I am sure this platform is much better than the older Safari ones. They have missed adding the 4x4.

They have taken so much time just to test the add on part in the rear ? They dont seem confident about themselves
