    • No value for money on offer only S & S11 variants are available
    • The base S variant misses on most of the features such as rear wiper, wheel covers, remote central locking and more
    • The S11 variant fails to justify the premium price tag as it misses on features such as Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, electrically folding ORVMs and more
    • Only a single diesel engine is available

    • The pricing overlaps with the Scorpio N SUV

        Tata Safari, manual or automatic personally, I think the manual is the best choice. It has the best safety features in its segment. It comes with 3 driving modes and offers the best suspension for both off-road and on-road driving. The sound quality is awesome, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. You can install aftermarket LED lights if you like, but avoid making major modifications if you want to keep the car in good condition for a long time. Make sure to get timely DEF checks so the engine doesn’t get overloaded. If you want the best, top-class car in its segment, the one and only option is Tata Safari. Just wow! And its first look is absolutely stunning.
