Tata Harrier and Safari Stealth Editions: Tata Motors has introduced the Stealth Editions of its best-selling Harrier and Safari SUVs. The special editions introduce an aggressive and bold look with a matte black finish. Tata has restricted the production to only 2,700 units, making them exclusive. The Harrier Stealth Edition is priced at ₹25.10 lakh, while the Safari Stealth Edition is priced at ₹25.75 lakh (ex-showroom).
Exclusive Features and Design Elements
Tata has modelled the Stealth Editions based on the flagship variants of each lineup. The Harrier Stealth Edition is developed over the Fearless+ variant, and the Safari Stealth Edition is inspired by the Accomplished+ variant. Both the SUVs receive a distinctive matte black exterior color, along with a blacked-out grille and 19-inch alloy wheels. Tata has further included Stealth Edition badging on the fenders, which separates the SUVs from the crowd.
Within the cabin, Tata has used Carbon-Noir upholstery to continue the stealthy theme. The black interior enhances the existing premium touches that are already available in the top-of-the-line variants. The dashboard, door panels, and center console sport black inserts that add a touch of sophistication to the overall look.
Advanced Technology and Comfort Features
Tata has made sure that the Stealth Editions do not lose any of the premium attributes of their corresponding trims. The two SUVs are both fitted with ventilated front seats, a big touchscreen infotainment system, and a completely digital instrument cluster. The Safari Stealth Edition features six- and seven-seat options, and the six-seater version gets ventilated captain chairs in the second row.
Safety is a key concern, and Tata continues to provide Level 2 ADAS features. Adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and autonomous emergency braking are the features provided by SUVs. There are various other safety features that include multiple airbags, electronic stability control, and a 360-degree camera system.
Powertrain and Performance
Both the Harrier and Safari Stealth Editions use the reliable 2.0-litre Kryotec turbo-diesel engine. The engine packs a punch, generating 168 bhp and 350 Nm of torque. Tata provides both six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmission options, suiting varying driving styles.
The SUVs still sport a front-wheel-drive configuration. While Tata hasn’t offered an all-wheel-drive model, the terrain response modes enable the vehicles to drive through various road surfaces effectively. The ride quality remains smooth and urbane, thus making the SUVs apt for long highway driving and city traffic.
Price Breakdown and Variant Comparison
Tata has put the Stealth Editions at a notch higher above the Dark Editions, where the price is ₹25,000 to ₹45,000 more. Below is the highlighting of the pricing of the new offerings:
| Variant | Price (Ex-Showroom) |
|---|---|
| Tata Harrier Fearless+ Stealth Edition | ₹25.10 lakh |
| Tata Harrier Fearless+ Stealth Edition AT | ₹26.50 lakh |
| Tata Safari Accomplished+ Stealth Edition | ₹25.75 lakh |
| Tata Safari Accomplished+ Stealth Edition AT | ₹27.15 lakh |
| Tata Safari Accomplished+ (6-seater) Stealth Edition AT | ₹27.25 lakh |
The price hike is justified by the addition of bespoke cosmetic touches alongside all premium comforts.

Tata has begun accepting bookings for the Stealth Editions at Indian dealerships. Since there will be only 2,700 units, customers will have to hurry to book their Stealth Edition. Tata has not made any official announcement regarding a launch event, but the SUVs are likely to arrive at dealerships shortly.
