context_page_description: The Tata Safari is a mid-size SUV produced by the Indian automobile manufacturer Tata Motors since 1998.
context_section_description: The Tata Safari Storme was unveiled in January 2012 during the 11th Auto Expo 2012 and was launched in October 2012. The Safari Storme has new front and rear lights, new grille and redesigned bumpers, the rear spare wheel has been moved under the floor and the tailgate is new. More than 100 changes have been done in comparison to the Tata Safari Dicor. The body shell is completely new. But the overall design silhouette remains unchanged though.
  The Tata X2 platform has been modified at the rear with the adoption of the new five-arms multi-link suspension (the same of the Tata Aria) which has a stronger hydro-formed chassis sections. It will have an upgraded BorgWarner G76-Mark II gearbox.
  Its Varicor (Variable Turbine Technology) 32-bit Electronically Controlled, Direct Injection Common Rail engine is available in 5-speed manual transmission capable of 150 PS @ 4000 rpm and 320 NM @ 1700-2700 rpm of maximum torque. This engine is a major revision of the previous Dicor engine.  In 2015, the new 2.2 Varicor 400 engine was introduced and is available with 6-speed manual transmission in both the 4x2 and 4x4 flagship versions. The 2.2 Varicor 400 engine is an evolution of the previous Varicor and is capable of 156 PS @ 4000 rpm and 400 Nm @ 1750-2500 rpm of maximum torque. The Dicor engine is not available in Safari Storme.
  In December 2016, Tata Motors was contracted to provide around 3,192 Safari Stormes, as the official vehicle of Indian Army, becoming the successor of Maruti Gypsy. The Tata Safari Storme had to fend off competition from the Mahindra Scorpio, and both vehicles are said to have undergone rigorous analysis which included them being tested on snow, high-terrain as well as marshy lands.
  The Storme passed the Army's GS800 (General Service 800) vehicle classification which calls for a hard top vehicle with a minimum 800 kg payload and air-conditioning.
  While the Storme is in service with the Indian Army and Border Security Force, the Storme was exported to the Seychelles for the Seychelles Police Force. 10 Stormes were handed to the Tatmadaw by the Indian ambassador to Myanmar.
  It's scheduled to be replaced after 2019 by the Tata Gravitas.
