Godfather of all Suv

Great driving experience, with great stability, great comfort while riding, while driving safari you wont feel tired because of the great seating comfort, applicable for long trips also.

Hope to receive BLUE POWER MUX

Awesome SUV, reliable and durable vehicle as I drove this car for almost 2years in Philippines! This Indian specs MUX is a little disappointing because it carries the most outdated 5speed AT!! Also the engine choice is pretty old too!! Hope to receive 1.9 liter BLUE POWER MUX in India soon!! Also ISUZU should grow their outlets in the country to gain confidence of the buyers!!

2023 Tata Safari First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre15 Oct 2023

With plenty of body colour options, even a dual-tone as a first in this segment and with many new features, Tata Motors wants to ensure that the new Safari appeals to a wider audience. With its macho appearance, it still can be a symbol of authority while offering a premium and spacious cabin. Moreover, prospective buyers are being offered new technology, and added connectivity, while still being cocooned in safety. The pricing isn’t available yet, but if Tata Motors doesn’t ask for an unreasonable premium, it will be easy for a buyer to confirm his decision for it is quite appealing with the new changes.
