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.

Heaven made By Passat

When I went On website To check Car price it was very less. i got that car very easily without any issue of money.It is better to purchase compare to other cars or SUV/MUV like innova . When I Drive it first time it was tooo smooth even it's suspension is too good . It's look is Mind blowing From exterior as well interior . Servicing and maintenance of car is not much High but it is in my budget My suggestion is that purchase this car don't waste your money by purchasing other cars of same price

Volkswagen Passat Review: Pros and Cons

By Vikrant Singh01 Aug 2019

Yes, the Volkswagen Passat costs Rs 40 lakhs on the road. And no, it doesn’t command the same snob value as an Audi or a BMW or a Mercedes. Maybe not even as much as a Volvo or a Jaguar.

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.
