TATA Safari was one of my favourites during its time. It had its own identity. This car here, to me, seems just like a Harrier Plus/XL. Tata could have just stuck with Gravitas or used another name. And then brought the Safari with a design that matched its iconic predecessor.

Well the Sales were less just because at that time very few people could afford a expensive SUV like Safari. The people you are talking about (like us) who NOW have enough money to buy Safari, doesn't find this new Gravitas/Safari tempting enough....... It's like we all still love the Old CIVIC unlike the new one....

Same case with people shouting "made in India, Great Build Quality, not tin ka dabba". Top 5 selling cars of 2020 were all Maruti. In the end, money is all that matters (includes maintenance and resale value, initial on road prices are well covered by all car makers these days).

Old safari was unbelievably awesome. I drove 1,50,000 km on it in a span of 3.5 years and what a car. I currently own hexa. Body on frame that I used in heavy load work. These cars are strong cars that save you in worst case scenario of accidents. New structure looks good but these rugged cars are the best choice in terms of space, safety and strength.(Tata safari old model with varicor engine and Tata hexa). Keep up the good work Autocar India. Love your efforts in each review.

Thank you Autocar for this review. I was extreme eager for this review as it's a flagship SUV of an indian brand. Tata Safari is , I think , one of the best and economic SUVs. With so much features and advanced functions , it will dominate the Indian SUV market. Thank you Tata for making such a premium yet robust SUV. Proud of you. Thank you.

Thumbs up for 3 rd row seats

@vipul_singh 3 жыл бұрын

The headrest and back of the third row is too close to the windshield / tailgate. I would not want any of my loved ones to be seated in the third row because of that, as they may get severely injured in case of a rear impact. Just looking at the pic of the third row from behind the car, this is a 4/5 seater, as far as I am concerned.

A very packaged & evolved 3 row SUV. Was a bit skeptical with the 3rd row. However, Nikhil is the best person to address it. He has given a Thumbs-up which clearly makes the last row of seats a winner for the Safari. It feels: 1. Premium. 2. Well built. 3. Comfy. 4. Good on driving, ride & handling. 5. Spacious (That's what it is introduced for). Also, that Sunroof blind gave a very, very premium & plush feel. Just the Oyster White Leatherette seats are a contradiction to the Safari, considering the tasks it is going to take on. A crystal clear video by Autocar India. ❤🤗🙏👏👏👏

I have used the Tata Safari in the year 2000. Reliability was a real problem. I shifted to Mahindra Scorpios and XUV 500s thereafter and I am very satisfied with their reliability. Mahindra vehicles have never let me down. I am seriously considering the 2021 Tata Safari, but have to still gain confidence on the Brand.

This new Tata Safari is immensely practical and extremely well made.

This vehicle easily rivals the Endeavour and Fortuner and all of those wagons. Tata Motors have really come a long way.
