The Tata Safari, a flagship model from Tata Motors, is priced between Rs 15.50 lakh and Rs 27.25 lakh (ex-showroom). In this price range, it stands as a strong alternative to SUVs like the Mahindra XUV700 and Hyundai Alcazar. So, the question is, should you buy a Tata Safari? Well, this article will help you make an informed decision on this by outlining 7 pros and 3 cons of the vehicle.
Safari boasts a 5-star safety rating from both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP, making it one of the safest SUVs in India.
The suspension setup is tuned for Indian conditions, handling rough patches and minor potholes with ease, promising a good ride quality.
Powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine producing 170hp and 350Nm, the Safari feels relaxed at triple-digit speeds. It delivers strong performance.
The modern EPS setup has significantly improved the SUV’s driving dynamics, especially in Eco and City modes, where the steering feels light and easy to handle.
With its imposing stance, bold styling, and 19-inch alloy wheels (on higher trims), the Safari easily grabs attention on the road. The road presence is fantastic.
Whether you’re cruising straight on highways or going around corners, the Safari handles very well, offering a planted and confident drive.
The SUV comes fully loaded with premium features such as ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, Level-2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, dual-zone climate control, multiple drive modes, and more.
It is offered only with a 2.0-litre diesel engine; no petrol or hybrid options are available. In contrast, rivals like the XUV700 and Alcazar come with both petrol and diesel engine options.
The Safari is a front-wheel-drive SUV and does not offer an all-wheel-drive or 4×4 system for off-road use—something that some of its competitors offer.
The touch-based panel for HVAC controls is not very responsive and can be difficult to operate while driving.
