Pros & Cons

Pros
  • 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
  • Bold Coupe-SUV Design: Eye-catching futuristic styling with premium detailing.
  • Powerful Electric Powertrain: Robust performance from the INGLO platform with 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery options.
  • Advanced Features: Packed with tech like dual screens, ADAS, and a premium 16 speaker sound system.
  • Fast Charging Support: DC fast charging of up to 175 kWh ensures quicker recharge times.
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
  • 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
  • No V2L / V2V Capability: Lacks vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging features available in Tata's EVs, limiting its versatility for external power needs.
  • Rear Seat Space Constraints: The rear seat isn’t as spacious as comparable ₹20 lakh ICE SUVs, potentially compromising comfort for taller passengers.
  • Glossy Black Dashboard Panels: Glossy finish on the dashboard attracts dust and fingerprints, requiring frequent cleaning to maintain a pristine appearance.
  • Poor IRVM Visibility: The sloping roofline and fifth passenger's headrest obstruct rear visibility, reducing convenience and safety while driving.
