Hyundai Alcazar vs Tata Safari - Two very different takes on the three row SUV | Autocar India

On the face of it, the Hyundai Alcazar and Tata Safari are direct rivals. They're both SUVs, both offer seating for up to 7 passengers and both even sport similar price tags. However, as Nikhil Bhatia finds out, each appeals for very different reasons.

TATAs do have an amazing lineup of cars and I love how they have prioritized safety. I think if only their after-sales service and buying experience would be up to the mark, maybe the KZfaq comments and sales figures might match as compared to Hyundai.

Oh, and don't forget the niggles that come absolutely "free of cost" with the Safaris and the Harriers. I root for them big time, but I end up recommending potential buyers of niggle free Marutis, Hyundais and Kias every time.

Safari is way expensive. In Bangalore it touches 27 lac on road for fully loaded. And it missed a lot of good to have features in a premium SUV like Lane change camera, 360 Camera, a good infotainment system without lag, Ventilated sets, Sun blind, Darker interior option, Wireless charging and charging points for middle row passenger, Flat folding of third row Seats for proper boot space and all windows one touch power up and down. Tata should up their game. But it offers best in class engine and road presence and good ESPs mode and drive quality. 1.5 lt diesel engine of Alcazar doesnt justify this segment.. though its heavily loaded with features

That comes at a cost , think of something like range rover class suv, here where safari is tough more safer and powerful and bigger in size and with real suv performance , while on the other hand the alcazar is just the adapted 3 row seater version of creta with added on techs and whistles simple as that and all of these cost money.

Tata should add some features like a hand free tailgate wireless charger and most importantly upholstery theme should be changed there should be a choice of at least one more theme like the Safari Adventure Persona upholstery has even reverse camera quality needs to be improved and yes like Nikhil said Tata should introduce a Dark edition of the Safar too 😉

@Slaps_Claps 3 жыл бұрын

Koreans have figured out their strat for Indian markets, pump the vehicle with features over the top and slap them with an introductory price. Honestly that safari platform is the best in the segment along with a auto box borrowed from a hyundai tuscon. These tech gizmos will become obsolete down the road but safari with its emphasis more on the actual driving part, will age beautifully

I don't think there is a fight here...for a person who genuinely wants an SUV that is good to drive, they might still opt for the Safari no matter what goodies the Hyundai offers. But the real battle will be when XUV700 comes in to kick some ass ..😆

@ajaykumarkonkati 3 жыл бұрын

I'd checked out Alcazar in my nearby dealership, on a positive note the build quality of the body shell is amazingly solid, the doors shut with a loud thud and the fit and finish of interiors is supreme, but the space management is unimpressive. The space for the 1st two rows is good but I've found the 3rd row space is a big downer compared to Safari's. If we move the 2nd row seat bit ahead to liberate some room for the 3rd row, the 2nd row passengers may bash their foot at the B Pillar while ingress and egress. Overall Safari has better space at 3rd row.

problem is that power train is pretty useless for its best application of driving a 4WD. Safari using it for a 2WD forward makes it incompatible for offroading, something Safaris were used for.
