Tata Safari Storme 2019 User Reviews

Wonder how Tata Motors treats its customers. Well, give them a new car which is having broken parts and then behave as an government organization when trying to complain about the same. I bought an Tata Safari Refresh in end of June-2015 from Aristo Motors Gurgaon. Surprised to find that fitting inside the Roof AC was broken in the New car and Rear AC vents flap was also broken. Wonder what was the PDI that was done before delivering the car. Reported both issues to Dealer and Service station immediately. Almost 2 months have been passed, but yet to get resolution for the same. And worst is that Tata Motors itself is neither taking any action nor taking any initiative to solve the problem. Well done Tata Motors for serving your customers this way. You will definitely set new milestones in giving worst customer service.

What is the point in conducting feedback surveys, when there is NO action that is going to be taken by you.

This car is power train....once you approach highway it will make you feel that yes you are driving something really powerful. Tata has come up with lot of new and improved features. This car is far far better than the scorpio or innova I can say. This is sporty and stylish too at the same time. 5 out of 5 for storme of tata, I m loving it :)

Exterior Very good exterior, me and my family are fan of its exterior. It looks like VIP car. Giant size makes it dominant. I feel like a boss while driving. I have purchased VX 4x2 10 days ago.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very nice interior, middle row is so spacious that 4 medium built person can sit comfortably. It has got harman/kardon 6 speakers, so sound quality is great. All window express down feature is great, bonnet is manually controlled hydraulic.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox New storme has a storm like performance. My friend has touched his dicor to 170. But as my vehicle is new I haven't driven it more than 80. By my storme is having more pickup than dicor. Gearbox is nice but not too smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Superb ride quality, handling is also pretty well. Superb stability even at 80km/h. It has great commanding view. I feel like I am riding a bull.

Final Words Very nice car. It may look like older storme from outside but once you step inside it is completely different. Lot of changes are made inside and under the bonnet. Great Job TATA Motors.

Areas of improvement Touchscreen, GPS.

I bought the Tata Safari Storm Explorer Edition from Wasan Motors, Chembur on Oct-2013

I was very excited when I took the vehicle delivery from the dealer I have ignored multiple issues at the time of delivery.

1. Premium Leather Seat received through the Explorer Edition upgrade was fitted ruined and glued to cover multiple patches but in the excitement I took the delivery later I have told the sales person about it, but he couldn’t do anything.

2. The 2 DIN touch screen system, received as per the explorer edition upgrade, will behave unexpectedly without any user input, like channel change, mode change, volume up/down, etc without touching it during the rainy season. Same here complained but no use.

3. The 2 DIN system will not connect to the pre-fitted hands-free, as the type is different They will make a hole in the glovebox to keep the USB cable output and the cable will be there in the glow-box as loosen.

4. The Front PU Nudge Guard is so light, mine got broken within few months… without any major crash.

5. Within 2 years, the Explorer Decals which received through the Explorer Edition upgrade, at the front bonnet got all spoiled, and changed the colour from white to red with dark dots and cuts all over... looks very dirty Nothing has been done, as there is no use of complaining.

6. Some of the Service centres are really useless they over charge you and some people will claim they have changed spare parts, which you may find later it is not really changed No one cross- check your vehicle fully in any of the service I mean breaks, gear, electric, etc... you can still expect a breakdown next day of the vehicle service I got it multiple times.

Overall I like the build quality and look, it is awesome SUV I dislike only because the irresponsible dealers and service centres.

4. It's like a monster to maintain. Every service (major) you get a long bill near to 13000-15000. It's not too high but maintaining it by a middle-class person is near to impossible. Also while any engine bay part gets wear and tear, then replacement of that part costs much more. But if you have no problem in maintaining it. I will suggest you go for it because of the phenomenal ride quality and driving experience. Especially you feel most safe among all the SUV's in its segment namely Scorpio

I have Tata safari storme vx 4×2 varicose 400. Pros A big suv car in my budget. I love long road trip (500 plus km) with this ,very comfortable. riding experience is very nice for highway journey and off road but some annoying in city traffic, not good for city traffic.Servicing and maintenance is little bit high. Overall good and comfortable budget lux SUV. Mileage on highway 12-13.

Exteriors - in a world where the exteriors change to give the perception of an all new car, this has been a most non pretentious upgrade where the shell remains the same albeit now put together much better. The cladding around is a bit more butch and compliments the relatively squared off front and rear treatment that actually look more contemporary. The bonnet is a lot more straight and chunky and the front and rear light finishing are tight and appropriately sized instead of being mile long plastic finishes. The stepper are also better designed for rear passengers. The only grudge that old safari owners would have in their new car is missing the rear mounted spare wheel and the lipping of the front bumper which is not wide enough for you to mount your off road lights. Interiors - good move not to reinvent the wheel here. The best part of the dicor which was its layout remains unchanged in the storme and the worst part which was industrial plastics have now given way to a 360 degree change soft touch materials be it the java black plastic and some fabrics here and there. Everything feels purpose built to balance handling with ergonomics. Switches are from a much different world as compared to the old car and the complete absence of both beige finishes or fake wood is a joy as you loo around and see some dull aluminium and textured coffee black all around. The colour scheme is tricky - looks black in bright day light and a bit coffee brown in warm light or under an overcast sky. Grudges if any should be that a touch screen on the console that people are so used to is missing. In reality this is an ego massage factor and quite likely when you drive a car this size, you wont really need to peer into a screen. Bells and whistles - If i continue to compare this car to the older dicor, the top variant of the old car came with follow me home lights, Those have given way to approach lights. I somehow found the former a bit more useful. The lights have also switched from simple H4 to a more contemporary H7 set up with projector lens on the low beam module - however I wish they had put 6000 kelvin LEDs on the low beam module rather than halogens. The puddle lights are on all 4 doors and have an approach warning light too. The doors feel more refined while shutting like a vault. The steering probably borrowed from the tiago is super fun with all the communication controls. The knobs and stalks in the car are much better and the Harman connectnext system is very very refined. It also accepts your mom's oldies hindi music or bhajan CD and interfaces with your apple or android device seamlessly. The mirrors are heated and auto-fold. The front windshield is where you miss the top green tinting sadly because this glass is the size of a hoarding. The reserving set up sadly does not have a camera but has sensors. The thoughtful touches are that the music auto mutes while reversing and in rains, the rear wiper also goes on automatically. The driver seat has very helpful heoght adjust controls and the rear AC is quite nicely integrated unlike the past where it looked force-fitted. The aircon is quite silent and the econ mode is helpful to keep your guilt under check. You even get a charging point next to the jumper seat at the rear.While the finish and fitment of this interior is admirable, the only two things I wish they did were - put back the reserving camera and LCD screen into the reserving mirror and probably looked into the rather sharp feeling edge of the horn button which wraps behind the steering wheel but sometimes in long drives if you get fidgety, you are likely to touch this slightly rough surface in an otherwise smooth interior. Of course I will not forgive Tata Motors for giving me halogens in the low beam either. Drive - insert the new chunky and folding contemporary key, depress the clutch and fire the engine. Those who miss a push button start/stop button are likely to be people who also love to wear bright colour polo shirts from a brand whose logo is a horse riding sport which you are unlikely to play and match that with pastel colour pants and something called boat shoes with white bottoms. This car is only likely to be drive by people who never trade off their blue jeans, while shirts and leather boots with anything garishly fashionable. Thus, a normal ignition is as enjoyable as having babies the normal way compared to some laboratory assisted method. Once the car fires, all the similarities end and the differences start. The NVM levels are much lower - almost a muted murmur both inside and outside. The body does not shake along and the engine only gets quieter as the car puts on more miles. While the gear shift feels equally softy as the old car, the ratios of the drive are way too different. Unlike the old dicor built in an era of less focus on the environment just climbed the revs all the way to 2250 RPM, this is no traffic signal GP car. The turbo charger is a little more smart. It gives you a kick post 1500 mark but till then you rumble along the traffic which is okay in the city as long as you don't want to show off to a hot hatch next to you. That little car or some soft-roader which also calls itself an SUV will leave you behind. But post 1500 mark you wont even beat a brow and the power delivery is gentle and seamless to climb up the revs. The 6th gear is a delight and though its capable of very impressive 3 digit figures, I always advise to drive a vehicle this size with some maturity and responsibility. People would love looking at you in this thing - so cruse along! Comfort - suspension and steering - again very different from the old car that is not easy to imagine from similar looking exteriors. While the awesomely capable ladder frame construction is retained, the hydorformed chassis is much more tough and vibration free. The steering is a new rack and pinion set up which is far more sharp that the older slightly boat like ball joint arrangement. The old car to stay sharp required "adjustment" trips to the workshop after every rough drive, in this car no matter how much and how bad you drive, it stays well put together and drives sharp and straight. Yes, the height, weight and COG does not make this a cornering vehicle but if you are sensible with your approach speed and angles, you wont feel much to lose either. Braking feels more pronounced with all 4 disc brakes too and the EBD apart from the ABS make tricky situations easy to handle. Fuel economy - the gain you get by shedding the old throttle happy engine with this more conservative but even more powerful engine and a six speed gearbox is economy. The old car returned a practical 11-12 while this with polite driving should offer you a comfortable 14kmpl and maybe something even better on the NH where you use the 6th gear. For a vehicle that weighs close to 2.5 tons, has a 2200 CC engine with a 400 NM torque, this is quite cool.

No matter how many cars come and go this will always be my favorite. A full size SUV that's easy to maintain and lovely to drive. There is no other vehicle at this price point that can match the charm and presence of the Storme. Driven it over 100K km still drives as smooth as new. Never had to spend on anything appart frm regular maintenance. Still gives a mileage of over 12 kmpl. What more can be expected at this price point

Tata Safari has been my dream car since childhood i purchased the same in October 2019 and ever since I have driven the same around 9000 KMs. The best thing about tata safari is its muscular look, space and comfort, mileage is pretty good and value for money in 15 Lac. Everything is best about this SUV except its middle seat noise and rear AC noise. Which i'll get rectified in the second service I hope. While driving you feel you're driving a beast and same is on the road as people do fear Safari and leaves way for you as exceptional. And you really feel the difference on roads while driving Strome. Great Experience Great SUV.
