Tata Motors has launched the Nexon, Harrier and the Safari Red Dark Edition. The price of Nexon Red Dark Edition starts from Rs 12.35 lakh, while the price of Harrier and Safari Red Dark starts from Rs 21.77 lakh and Rs 22.61 lakh respectively.
As with previous special editions, the changes to the Red Dark Edition model are mainly cosmetic. The Harrier and Safari also get notable technical and safety upgrades.
Like the popular Safari, Nexon and Harrier Dark Edition, the newly introduced Red Dark Edition features an all-black ‘Oberon Black’ exterior color scheme. The three special edition models also get red brake calipers and a subtle red insert on the front grille. The interiors have been chosen with ‘Carnelian’ red seat upholstery, leatherette grab handles, gray trim on the dashboard and piano black and red inserts on the steering wheel.
Tata Motors showcased only the Safari and Harrier Red Dark Editions at the Auto Expo 2023 in January, adding the Nexon Red Dark Edition to the line-up. With this, the Nexon is now available in three special editions, including the regular Dark Edition and the Kaziranga Edition.
Based on the top spec XZ+ Lux trim, the Nexon Red Dark gets features like Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), in-built air purifier, wireless charger, cruise control, ventilated seats and connected car technology.
The biggest highlight of the Harrier and Safari Red Dark Edition is the inclusion of ADAS safety technology. These include autonomous emergency braking (AEB), forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane change assist and traffic sign recognition. Both the SUVs are based on their top variants and get the new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment, 7-inch digital driver’s display and 360-degree camera. Both the SUVs also get memory function for the driver’s seat.
In addition, the Safari gets ventilated seats for the second row, red ambient lighting around the door handles and panoramic sunroof, along with head cushions for the second row passengers.
Some of the technical and safety updates seen on the Harrier and Safari Red Dark are expected to be introduced on the standard variants in the coming weeks.
All three special editions of the SUV carry forward the same RDE compliant powertrains that were recently introduced by Tata Motors. The Nexon comes with 120hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and 115hp, 1.5-litre diesel, with both engines mated to either a 6-speed manual or AMT gearbox. The Harrier and Safari also continue with the 170hp, 2.0-litre diesel engine mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
Tata is offering a warranty of three years / 1,00,000 km as standard on the Red Dark edition of the SUV.
