Two months ago Tata upgraded both Safari and Harrier with facelift changes. Both come with the same architecture and same engine specs but Safari (1825KG) weighs 150 KG more than the Harrier (1675 KG) which I am guessing is due to the bigger size and the added 3rd row. My question is does the bigger weight have an observable effect on the performance (does Safari feel slow slower in terms of acceleration) and mileage (does Harrier give a better mileage) of the vehicle?

Tata Motors has revised the feature list of Safari’s Pure variant. The eliminated features include: Third-row AC vents, armrest, spare wheel, roof lights for the second and third row, TPMS, LED lights, and auto-dimming IRVM is replaced with a manual unit. However, Pure variant now offers a shark-fin antenna, reverse parking camera, and 10.25” touchscreen infotainment. Prices remain unaffected. (Source: Link)

There is one more deletion which you missed. side IRVM replaced with manual toggle ones.
Side IRVM replaced with a manual unit in a 25 lakh car ???? . In return touchscreen with reverse camera [shock] . Mindboggling rejigging of features. As far as I know the Altroz XM variant came with electric side irvms. The touchscreeen and reverse camera can be upgraded easily outside as canbus for the same might be easily available. I dont know whom to blame, the indian customer whose family insists we need to buy the car with the biggest touchscreen or TATA's reckless think tank who have arrived at this knee jerk reaction. No rooflights even on the second row in a three row suv ?
In the past two years I have seen countless reckless decisions like this including launching a coupe SUV with no headroom for 6 plus feet individuals.
Time for heads to roll . Happy motoring.

Well an update on my previous post. Looks like they haven't removed the electric side orvms. My bad. But still manual key on a 18 to 20 lakh car, No height adjustable seat even manual adjust on the lower trims and defogger is a luxury item in a car made for inter state trips.
Add to that the design direction perhaps influenced by woke culture permeating Jaguar designs filtering down to Tata Motors design with more of straight lines and triangles ditching the curves and polygons and accents.
Case in point the same lower grill design for harrier ev and curvv ev. Blue interiors even if exterior colour is red. Purple nexon. Next whats in store?? Pink interior themed Sierra where you can put your flower pot.
Please Tata Motors the Harrier and Safari facelifts are maintaining the same sales numbers so sorry all that colourful gloss hasn't worked.
And who designed that steering wheel with a backlit log and awful fit and finish which a Nintendo can easily beat.
Tiny headlamps, faceless front, unseen pencil thin taillamps.
Car design is dead.
Please course correct Tata Motors. Great EPS though.
