The special edition (Stealth Edition) of both models is exclusive, and Tata Motors promises added features to appeal to car fanatics. Only on the top (and most expensive, Rs 75,000 more than the regular ex-showroom price) variant, the Stealth Edition adds a host of design and subtle performance highlights as a learned display of Tata’s engineering prowess.
A Fresh Look on Familiar Ground
The major highlight of the Stealth Edition is its bold exterior refresh. Though the front fascia retains the original character with its signature grille pattern, the etched Tata emblem, and integrated high-beam and low-beam options, the subtle details enhance the overall look. The type DRL pattern, which is connected across, improves the vehicle’s presence, and the black finish on a few of the alloy sections gives the interior an exclusive touch. The Stealth Edition is offered only in a kit black colour scheme as part of a purposeful design decision that allows it to stand out on the road.
The only other change is the design of the alloys. The alloy wheels in size 245/55R19 sport a special finish with the classic silver being replaced by a dedicated black colour that highlights the stealth character of the model. It has also made the change to a 360-degree parking system and blind spot monitoring on the vehicle, so the superior appearance is paired with more functional upgrades as well.
Interior Upgrades: Where Function Meets Flair
Inside, the transformation continues with improvements that are as much aesthetic as they are functional. The interior still looks similar but has replaced key areas featuring a wood-look finish with carbon fibre accents. The interior is now enhanced by a new sliding handrest at the centre that adds dynamic character that tucks in a different, functional, setting.
The dashboard gets a full digital instrument cluster and a new 10.25-inch infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Practical Enhancements and Safety Features
Apart from visual and technological upgrades, Tata Motors has also focused on several practical aspects as well. This aspect width means that utility has not been compromised for aesthetics, thanks to the power tailgate, large boot (grows from 534L boot to 1461L with rear seats folded) and clever packaging. Safety is still a big concern and the Stealth Edition comes equipped with a solid arsenal of features like ABS, EBD, ESP, disc brakes on the front and rear, six airbags as standard, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
The engine is the same as the regular Safari, which means that though the looks and comfort features have received an upgrade]] the performance figures are still what you would expect from Tata.
Looking Ahead
The Tata Stealth Edition is an important way ahead in Tata’s evolution of its SUV lineup. With subtle yet impactful upgrades inside and out, Tata Motors is leading the way in bestowing premium attributes without the coffers. While both the Safari and the Harrier have been recipients of this upscale treatment, it allows customers to flaunt a luxurious feel, subtle technology and added safety in an exclusive package that’s characterized by a stealth mode.
The Stealth Edition is a testament to Tata’s focus on blending smart design with practical functionality, which is a good testament for the brand as it continues the work of refining its offerings in the market. The Tata Stealth Edition promises to be a formidable contender in the competitive SUV segment for buyers looking for understated elegance and state-of-the-art features in a vehicle.
