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.

Best car for city riding

I always used to ride it in narrow city rode with very less parking space. So it is very convenient to ride in city and ride quality also good in terms of comfort. The car has good suspension so it makes ride comfortable even in patchy rode. It is not the best for long rides because acceleration is not punchy and has little engine noice, tire noice at higher speed but occasionally you can manage.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class facelift First Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh20 Jan 2016

The new A-Class is a louder and cosmetically enhanced version of Mercedes’ entry-level car. But by louder, we don’t mean the exhaust or engine note. It’s that green colour. Our test car is powered by the Delhi-banned 2.1-litre, four cylinder diesel engine that makes 136bhp and 300Nm of torque.

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.
