  • Big design gives a solid road presence

Cons

  • 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

      India’s most outstanding car is the Tata Spacio. Its brilliance, comfort, mileage, and pickup make it truly impressive. Just looking at it gives a “wow” feeling. This car has been my all-time favorite!

      Tata Safari is the real safari. Great value for money with the best suspension, comfort, and safety. The look is impressive, and the 7-seater configuration makes it amazing. I love the Safari, it’s like the Endeavour.

      This car is very good. Tata cares about safety first. I bought the Tata Safari again because my family has 8 members. I feel very safe in it.
