Yet another black variant has been launched from the TATA stable of their flagship SUV the SAFARI, which will the 5th addition to the #DARK line-up.

Roof rails are also black but one has to look closely to spot the SAFARI etching.

Interior

The inside of the car is treated with Nappa Granite-Black and a ‘Blackstone Matrix’ Theme along with signature Tri-Arrow design on the dashboard and seat cushions. To add to the premiumness of the vehicle the Benecke Kaliko upholstery is swayed in Deep-Blue. #DARK mascot has been embroidered on the headrest of the seats which is to remind its Black edition.
