Exterior Good design, looks best among the available SUV in the given price range.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfort is very good, for both passenger & driver. Not many features, sapce is huge. Very comfortable on long rides. Very good A.C.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Robust engine, responsible throttle, good fuel economy. Gear box could be refined which I guess has been taken care in the 2.2 Safari. In my version i.e. the 3Ltr Dicor BS III LX model the gear box is grumpy.
Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality has always been the USp of Safari. Amazing ride quality. Takes tough roads with much of ease. Ground clearance is very good. Can go to all the places where a truck can go. Handling it in the highway is very comfortable. On congested city roads, it is a bit tiring. Parking is not ann issue if you have the reverse camera installed, which is a standard feature only in the Safari VX. Turning radius is big, which could be an issue in small bylanes of busy cities.
Final Words good choice, good if you have it as a second or third car in the family. Tata Motors should improve the service quality. Also some very common spares are not available sometimes. EG.: My brake hose had leaked, and my vehicle was at the service center for almost 7 days, because the spare hose was not available.
Areas of improvement Interiors need improvement. Service is the major area where Tata Motors should improve. If they can give good service, I am sure, we could see many more safari's on the road.
Exterior Looks, Comfort, driving pleasure, mileage.Interiors need to be improved. Bad tail gate.
