Most Helpful Review

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.

Don't buy

Never buy any Jeep product that is not fit for Indian customers, lacks service, stud down dealers, is extremely high maintenance, and has the worst real value. I'm already an existing user. Good to drive is the only reason, go for XUV 700, mg, best will Toyota, Tata you regret and suffer after 2 years of this JEEP, thankyou

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.
