Pros & Cons

XUV700 Pros & Cons	Hector Plus Pros & Cons	Safari Pros & Cons
Pros	Beautiful styling with a solid road presence Comfortable interior with sorted ergonomics and spacious cabin It is loaded with a lot of modern features such as a big touchscreen infotainment, a 12-speaker Sony sound system, a panoramic sunroof, 360-camera, memory seats, and more Powerful diesel and petrol engines on offer mated with smooth automatic transmissions The AWD drivetrain option makes it suitable for off-road lovers It offers good build quality, a 5-Star GNCAP rating, and ADAS for added safety The ride quality is comfortable thanks to the well-tuned suspension and sorted dynamics		More modern looks with the new LED DRLs and other design changes with the facelift It now offers more features such as 12-inch infotainment, dual-zone climate control, surround-view camera, and more The safety features have been increased with ADAS level 2. The car now has up to 7 airbags and a 5-star GNCAP safety rating, among other improvements. The inclusion of electric power steering improved the ride quality and handling. The automatic transmission now comes with an e-Shifter to ensure smooth gearshifts Big design gives a solid road presence The Safari is the only SUV in the segment to offer rear-seat ventilation Tata Safari now comes with a good level of NVH
Cons	There is very little boot space if the third row is in use The third-row space is crammed and suitable for kids only AWD drivetrain is available with the diesel AT variant only, with no option for MT or petrol engine Some interior plastic takes away the premiumness of the cabin Misses on some features such as auto-dimming IRVM, paddle shifters, and some others The petrol engines are not fuel-efficient		The only available powertrain is diesel; there is no petrol or turbo-petrol engine. The Safari does not come with a 4WD drivetrain while some competitors offer 4WD as an option Occasionally, the infotainment software exhibits lag and may cease functioning The dimensions remain mostly unchanged from the pre-facelift model. This leads to a cramped feel in the last row. Tata's after-sales support falls short of expectations The top models seem overpriced, reaching an on-road price approaching Rs 30 lakh
