Now in detail

An honest review of my favorite, Made In India SUV "The TATA Safari". My passion to own Safari was in my mind for last more than 7 years but I got too confused after reading few -ve reviews by many users on the net. People were comparing Safari features with PAJERO and FORTUNER but how can one compare a SUV which is almost coming at half of the cost of these SUVs (PAJERO & FORTUNER). In the mean time I went to Mahindra showroom with a friend who was looking tobuy XYLO and I looked at SCORPIO there and I have not got a chance earlier to sit and feel Scorpio and I was shocked when I got inside the car, there was no space inside, the front windshield is too close to the driver seat, it felt like sitting in a small hatchback and on the other hand it has got less power ascompared to the SAFARI. The other option was XUV500 but I found it kids SUV when you see SAFARI. The other CAR which always comes to the mind of a buyer whois looking for big car is INNOVA, a beautiful car with pleasure driving and good quality but it seems that you have called a taxi to go somewhere and after all this confusion I decided to go by my heart as I think issues could bethere with any car maker.

While I was expecting some good exterior changes from TATA but I got disappointed with the Safari Stome design, the existing Safari Dicor 2.2 VTT in looks is much better and the show stopper "its back door spare wheel" is not there, it has been put downside of the body spoiling the entire back design (its mypersonal thinking), the front face of SUV has been  given a smiling face OMG are you making car for kids, give it some bullish look (see the front ofPAJERO). Then I decided to go for the existing Safari Dicor 2.2 VTT and I got my Safari EX (Pearl White) on 25 June 12. Till now I have only driven 2500 KMand my overall experience is "Want to feel like a king on the road, drive Tata Safari", its road presence is amazing and you can actually feel the power fromthe moment you start the engine. Take it to city or off road it will not disappoint you. Yes there are small issues with the TATA showrooms/service centersbut those can be ignored and you do your own PDI, after all it’s your car spare few minutes for it and if you got some problem bring the issue to theknowledge of service centre and they will resolve it at no extra cost. One thing TATA must do with the new version, don't know if they have done in Strome,please use good plastic although the are OK as compared to the cost of basic vehicle but need more quality items to makes this more premium SUV. One thingTATA Motors must educate to its service centers that now their new vehicles are being used by customers for personal use not only for taxi, service centremust improve their working environment and become more customer friendly.Few other things which will make Safari more attractive: Onboard GPS device, frontfacing last row sitting like Innova, LED front ligth lining, good quality plastic, company fitted premium quality seat covers starting from EX (leathertouch), cabin temperature and water sensing wipers.

The best and unexpected part is that this Bull is giving a mileage of 13 KMPL, I have SWIFT Vdi as well which is almost half of the weight of this BULL and gives mileage of 20KMPL and I think 13 KMPL is not bad. On the other hand the handling part, I feel more confident in city traffic as I can see ahead and onboth side very clearly but for reverse I have got back sensors installed as due to the height of the SUV, back view has always been an issue and it is samefor all SUVs.

Although I have only done 2500KM with my Safari but I can say driving is always a pleasure, no matters what type of road it is or even road is there actuallythe BULL just glides over any surface which is not possible in any sedan. Being a big and heavy car it is not advisable to drive Safari above 100 KMPH ascontrolling the vehicle above 100 KMPH is very difficult as weight is 2700 KG. Drive it around 90KMPH you will feel comfortable and will have control over itas well.

I am very much satisfied 😊 with my TATA Safari Dicor and want to say to all those who love safari and are confused to buy it, just go for it and I am sure youwon't regret it later.

I will share more about the experience/maintenance cost once I have completed 10-15K

Looks, VFM, FE, Road PresencePlastic parts quality not upto the mark

Exterior

 Excellent & very attractive

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Excellent but some features like reverse guide camera or parking sensor not installed.. Comfortable seating experience for each and every passenger..

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Powerful engine with good fuel economy.. The gearbox sometimes gets stuck while engaging the 1st gear..

Ride Quality & Handling

 Smooth ride & it is suitable mainly for plains.. Not for hilly roads with sharp "V" turns.. Very small turning radius.. The car sometimes skids while applying sudden brakes due to excessive body weight.. If the clear lens fog lights are not turned on at night with heavy pasing-by traffic or rain then the visibility is poor with the company fitted headlights, due to it's height.. It's a tough car & the driver feels it..!!!

Final Words

 Excellent Indian made SUV and worth buying but let me tell you no car and company is perfect..!!! Every company may have products with defects while delivering to the customer but it gets rectified aftermath & so should Tata Motors also look after it..

Areas of improvement  

 CUSTOMER SERVICE..!!!!

Exterior You wanna roll like a baller? Then get this truck. Its looks are evergreen. Its been around 20 yrs and it still looks pleasing to the eye. Scorpio is overly done and XUV is trying to hard to look like an SUV and Storme looks like its female version. People will get out of your way when they see you rollin' like a boss. And the spare wheel on its boot adds more to its character.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior are minimalistic. It has everything you need to be comfortable but it lacks quality. Plastics are pathetic. Space inside can be compared to 1BHK apartment and seats, oh my god!, comfortable than sofa in my house. You can drive it or be driven in it all day long without any fatigue.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Its 140 horsepower so its good. Mine does 0-100 in 10.83 seconds. Pretty good for ~3 ton truck. Top speed achieved was 190kmph (speedo indicated. Do not try this). But its suffers from turbo lag below 1500 RPM. Above 1500 RPM, turbo kicks in and it goes like an elephant on steroids. Gearbox is kinda smooth but could have been better. Long throws. Fuel economy is pretty decent for size of this car. Returns around 10 KMPL in city and around 15KMPL on highways. With a 65L fuel tank its a mile munching machine.

Ride Quality & Handling Not exaggerating but on this side of 40 Lakhs, I think its ride quality is best. Absorbs potholes like they don't exist. Steering has play in it and it can't be cured. Has a lot of body roll so do not drive it like a race car. And yes. Every U-Turn you make will be a memorable one beacuse its turning radius is very huge.

Final Words Go for it if you like it. I was a Safari fanatic from my childhood that's why I got DiCOR, not Storme. Its the Royal Enfield of cars. Gone are the days when Tata had terrible service backup. Service quality is somehow comparable to maruti's. Every car has its Pros and Cons but the moment I start it in the morning, I forget all of its flaws and feel happy that I got it.

TOUGH GEAR SHIFTINGREST EVERYTHING

Exterior LOOKS ARE AWESONE NEED NO CHAGES FROM OUTSIDE OLD SAFARI IS BETTER THEN STROM IF U SEE THE LOOKS.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) DONT HAVE TOO MANY FEAUTURE LIKE FREEZER,AUTO SIDE MIRROR THESE FEATURE SHOULD BE THEIR IN A SUV LIKE SAFARI, SAFARI IS VERY COMFORTABLE SUV BUT DO NOT ALLOY IN IT OTHERWISE U WILL FEEL VERY BUMPS ON THE ROAD I HAVE A SAFARI 2011 MODEL I PUTTED A ALLOY IN IT AFTER PUTTING IT I FEEL VERY BUMPS ON ROAD SAFARI SUSPENSION IS NOT SUPPORT ALLOY WITH BROAD TYERS.ITS TUCHES ON BODY WHEN YOU TURN. SAFARI IS VERY GOOD FOR HIGHWAY BUT NOT IN CROWED CITY LIKE DELHI U NEED SPACE TO PARK AND TURNS BECAUSE OF HUGE TURNING RADIUS. AC IS EXCELENT BUT IF U ARE DRIVING ON A HIGH SPEES AND YOUR FLOW IS ON 2 THEN U WILL SEE SMOKE KIND OF THING IS COMIMG OUT FROM GRILL BUT THAT IS NOT A SMOKE.ITS DUE TO HIGH COOLING.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox ENGINE IS POWERFUL WITH A GOOD MILLEGE AROUND 14 ON HIGHWAY AND 11 IN CITY LIKE DELHI.ENGINE IS SMOOTH GOOD PICK UP. GEARBOX NEED MORE IMPROVEMENT.POWER STEARING NOICE ON FULL TURNS, TAIL GATE NOICE IS IRRITATING,

Ride Quality & Handling HANDLING IS GOOD BUT NEED BIG SPACE TO TURN JUST LIKE TRUCK. TURNING RADIUS IS TOO BIG NEED MORE SPACE TO TURN AS COMPARE TO OTHER SUV.

Final Words GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY AND STYLE.

 Exterior looks are awesome. Nobody can beat the look. Really gives the feeling of ROAD SAFARI.

Ride Quality & Handling

Riding gives a good superiority feeling on the road. A Perfect Vehicle for all season. Overall  very good for riding.
