Tata Safari vs Mercedes-Benz B-Class [2012-2015]

We spent a week with the Tata Safari in the updated guise and here are our findings

After moving about elegantly in the B-Class for around a month Ninad offered me the car and I gleefully accepted. I was a little worried on how it will fare in my hands, will my first Mercedes-Benz long term car experience shine or wither away? While I did remember a brief drive during one of our photo shoot sessions that left me impressed with it, at the other end I honestly didn’t know how it would fare as an everyday commuter.

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.
