Tata Motors previews the new-gen Safari Storme and shows off its alternative fuel technology-based concepts at the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo

Tata Motors has unveiled the new Safari, the Storme, at the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo. The new Safari has an all-new styling and comes with a host of new features and specifications. True to its 4WD pedigree, the Storme features a 2.2-liter 16-valve common rail (DiCOR) engine (140 PS power; 320 Nm torque) with a variable geometry turbo, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.

The Tata Safari Storme is more understated elegance than head-turning flamboyance. It has clean, smooth lines that give it a buttoned-down corporate look. It sports a new grill, projector headlamps and a 'power bulge' on the bonnet. The rear gets chrome-tipped exhaust and a new, half greyed-out tailgate with the spare tyre now underneath the SUV. On the inside, the Storme is more spacious and has new luxurious beige seats matching the leather-wrapped steering wheel and wood-accented dashboard and door trims.

Aside from the new Safari, Tata Motors also showcased its new range of Ultra LCV and ICV comprising a series of variants from 5 to 14 tonnes. The range will be powered by new generation 3-litre (140 PS) and 5-litre (170 PS) common-rail, 16-valve DiCOR engines, offering higher aggregate life, longer service intervals and low NVH.
