Length: 4,668 mm
The Safari’s length has been slightly increased in the facelift due to the more aggressive bumper designs. At 4,668 mm, it provides enough longitudinal space to accommodate three rows of seating while maintaining a manageable footprint for city parking compared to full-sized body-on-frame SUVs.
Width: 1,922 mm
The Safari is one of the widest SUVs in its class, surpassing many of its direct rivals. This width translates directly into superior shoulder room for passengers in the first and second rows, contributing significantly to its "lounge-like" interior feel.
Height: 1,795 mm
The tall stature of 1,795 mm (including roof rails) gives the Safari its "Commanding Driving Position." It ensures ample headroom even for taller occupants in the third row, though it does contribute to a higher drag coefficient.
Wheelbase: 2,741 mm
Sharing the same wheelbase as the Harrier, the Safari optimizes this 2,741 mm span to fit the extra row of seats. The OMEGARC platform allows for a flat floor in the second row, enhancing middle-passenger comfort.
Ground Clearance: 205 mm (Unladen)
With 205 mm of ground clearance, the Safari is well-equipped to handle broken roads and high speed breakers. This height is essential for its "Rough Road" terrain mode to function effectively without risking underbody damage to the oil pan or exhaust system.
Kerb Weight: 1,825 kg
The Safari is a heavy vehicle, reflecting its robust build quality and the use of high-strength steel. The Diesel version weighs approximately 1,825 kg, whereas the new 1.5L Petrol variant is expected to be roughly 1,745 kg, improving the power-to-weight ratio slightly.
Turning Radius: 5.8 Meters
For a vehicle of its size, a turning radius of 5.8 meters (11.6m diameter) is standard. While it requires a bit of planning in narrow U-turns, the steering is now Electric (EPAS) across higher trims, making it significantly lighter at low speeds than the older hydraulic units.
