Who doesn’t love a good discount? Especially when it’s a chunky ₹3.7 lakh off! But before you start imagining yourself cruising down the highway in a Tata Safari or Harrier, let’s hit the brakes and talk about what this "never-seen-before" discount might really mean.

Tata Dealerships across India are giving hefty discounts on Harrier and Safari and it goes upto whooping 3.7 Lakhs. Without an iota of doubt, they are great cars and the offer they are giving is enough to buy an Alto if you add merely 1 lakh rupee into it. But here are few things you should keep in mind before vouching for those discounts.

A Discount or a "Stockyard Survivor"?

Here’s the tea: Tata dealers are trying to clear their stock of 2023 pre-facelift Harriers and Safaris. Yes, those models that were parked in the stockyard so long they might have formed deep bonds with nature. A year is a long time for a car to sit still, and while the deal is sweet, let’s break down what this really costs.

Fluids? Let’s Talk About Them

When a car sits idle, it doesn’t age gracefully like fine wine. Engine oil? Replace it. Coolant? Swap it out. Brake fluid? You guessed it—new. This isn’t just a checklist; it’s a survival guide. Insist your dealership handles this during the pre-delivery inspection, or your "discounted" SUV might demand an immediate spa day.

Beware the Waterlogged Warriors

In India, where monsoons can turn streets into rivers, some stockyards haven’t escaped the wrath of floods. You don’t want to drive off in a car that comes with a free history of water damage. Ask your dealer pointed questions about their stockyard’s flood record. If they dodge the question, dodge the car.

Resale Value: The Elephant in the Stockyard

Buying a 2023 model in 2025 means one thing: your car is already 2 years old on paper. If you’re someone who likes to flip cars every few years, this discount might bite you back when you try to resell. But if you’re the type who keeps a car until it’s practically family, this discount is all gravy.

What Do You Actually Get?

Both the Harrier and Safari come with that robust 2.0L Fiat-sourced diesel engine, a 170 Bhp-350 Nm punch, and transmission options to match your mood: manual or automatic. Want to fit the whole cricket team? The Safari’s 7 seats have you covered. Prefer a more compact feel? The Harrier’s 5 seats are your jam.
