Tata Safari - Detailed Road Test

Pros

Strong diesel performance and torque — great for highways and overtaking. Spacious and comfortable cabin — especially great for families. Good ride quality — absorbs bumps well on rough roads. 7-seat practicality with flexible seating. Modern features in higher trims — big touchscreen, cruise control, safety tech. Solid build quality with a rugged SUV feel. Capable and confidence-inspiring on highways and light off-roading.

Cons

Diesel SUV running cost is higher than petrol/CNG options due to fuel prices. Fuel efficiency isn’t class-leading for its segment. Some rivals offer more refined interiors and better tech at similar prices. Steering can feel heavy at low speeds. Massive size means parking and city manoeuvring needs extra care. Service costs and maintenance can add up over time depending on city.
