Tata Motors unveiled the Harrier EV, Sierra EV, Punch i-CNG, Altroz i-CNG, Altroz Racer, Avinya and Curvv concepts at the Auto Expo 2023. The firm also introduced the facelifts of its well-known SUV combo, the Harrier and the Safari at the event. Tata showcased the Harrier Red Dark edition and the Safari Red Dark edition. The two SUVs already come in the Dark edition from the manufacturer, but the 'Red' prefix offers more than just visual upgrades. The Harrier and Safari models now have a larger, improved touchscreen, ADAS technology, and a preview of features that will probably be included in the standard models. Later this year, Tata intends to launch the Harrier and the Safari Red Dark versions.
The addition of an ADAS system, a 360-degree surround view camera, a new and enhanced touchscreen infotainment system, and a redesigned instrument cluster are the four most significant modifications in the new Tata Safari. The ADAS suite includes several active and passive safety technologies such as autonomous emergency braking, lane change alert, collision mitigation system, blind spot monitoring system, door open alert, driver monitoring system, high beam assist, and front collision warning.

The front looks the same on the exterior, but has a red emphasis on the hexagonal part of the blacked-out grille and even sports 18-inch alloy wheels with red brake callipers. Everything else is unmodified and painted black, maintaining the original Dark edition concept.
Along with the Dark edition's standard features, this revised model's interior has "Carnelian" red seat upholstery with a quilted pattern, grey dashboard trim, red leatherette grab grips, piano black accents on the steering wheel, and a red front centre armrest. The SUV from Tata also receives an interior illuminated roof liner.
