    • 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.

        The Safari is very good in terms of comfort, and the driving experience is excellent. It’s the best car for long journeys. I never had a second thought about buying the Safari.

        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.
