Cons
  • 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

  • Powerful engines, but not much fuel efficient
  • The touchscreen infotainment system has an attractive appearance but sometimes feels laggy
  • Essential features like auto-dimming IRVM, ventilated seats, and third-row AC vents are not available
