    Pros & Cons

    Safari Pros & ConsHector 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
    • It gives a proper SUV stance with its big dody and sharp body lines
    • The more blingy design gives it a new look after the facelift
    • It comes loaded with features. For example, it has a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It also has auto-turn indicators and projector LED headlamps. Plus, a panoramic sunroof, wireless connectivity, an electric tailgate, and an 8-speaker Infinity S
    • It offers many safety features. These include level-2 ADAS with a 360-camera, 6 airbags, all-4 disc brakes, front parking sensors, ESP, hill-hold assist, and a traction control system.
    • It is available in multiple seating options. The standard is a 5-seater. The Hector Plus is available in a 6- and 7-seater option.
    • Powerful turbo petrol and diesel engines are available. The diesel motor is torquey and fuel-efficient.
    • The Hector's interior has a premium appeal. It has leatherette seats, door trims, ambient lighting, and comfortable seating.
    • The interior is very spacious and the cabin can easily accommodate 5-adults
    • A smooth CVT gearbox is on offer
    • The 5-seater variant offers humongous boot space of 587 litres
    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
    • The chrome on the front grille is a bit over, and might not appeal to everyone
    • The touchscreen infotainment is smooth and crisp but not driver-friendly
    • The touchscreen integrates the AC controls. It takes a bit of effort to control aircon settings while driving.
    • The diesel engine comes with a manual transmission only. There is no option for a diesel automatic variant.
    • ADAS is available in petrol variants only
    • The turbo petrol motor is not much fuel efficient which can be a bummer in city traffic
    • The substantial size of the body accentuates the body roll within the cabin
    • In the Plus variants, the third row is confined and is best suited for children

        Great comfort car with little body roll. But absolute luxury, superb drive experience, and luxury in the car. Highway mileage is good at 15 to 17, but the city is a little low, but with busy traffic, you are still able to get between 9 and 11. The lowest is 8 kmpl on hard braking. 100% recommended if someone is looking to buy.
