INTRODUCTION
We all know that the old TATA SAFARI Vicor 400 is legendary SUV which is loved by all for its comfortable ride quality, 4X4 capabilities and ruggedness. Now the TATA safari is back in its new avatar, its based on the TATA Harrier which was launched in the year 2019.







EXTERIOR
From the front the Safari looks quite similar to the Harrier, the grill comes from the harrier Signature Tri-arrow finished in chrome instead of gloss black which merges with the DRLs. The headlights are Xenon HID with projector setup and Fog lights on the lower side. Coming to the side profile it looks pretty nice it has that body cladding across the car, the handles are finished in chrome. The wheelbase is identical to the Harrier 2.7 meters long. Coming to the side vehicle the rear lights are slightly revised to that of harrier. Unfortunately it doesn't get the powered tailgate, but the spare tire size the same as the outgoing tires 235 sections but rims are 16 inchers instead of 18 inchers.
INTERIOR
As we get inside the TATA Safari, The door has two of the compartments for storage, the quality of switches and door are great and the door shuts with that reassuring THAD!(instincts of great build quality) as expected from TATA. We get a great amount of legroom and kneeroom in the 2nd-row and decent head room too, to keep you comfortable we have two USB charging ports below and storage for the phone as well, Safari also gets the thing called 'BOSS' Mode where in you can move the co-passenger seat from the rear giving ample amount of legroom for you to stretch-out. Overall 2nd Row is great place to be in. The quality of the interior is really good lot of soft touch plastic as well and on lower half there is hard plastic. The white color for the interior isn't the great idea, gives the cabin airy feeling but it will catch dust easily. Captain Seats (OPT).

FEATURES
7 inch touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, bluetooth connectivity. 7 inch Instrument Cluster display TFT display but the speedometer is analogue, Multi-function steering wheel with leather upholstery, cruise control, 6 way powered adjustable driver and co-passenger seat, Auto dimming IRVM, LED helps to lit the Cabin, the massive Panoramic Sunroof opens up to bring light inside the cabin, Drive Modes( Eco, City, Sport), Electric Auto Hold and Electric parking brake thankfully they got rid of that Aircraft like handbrake, Ambient Mood lighting. JBL 8 speaker sound system with 4 speaker and 4 tweeters and external sub woofer sounds great. Follow me Home headlamps and Auto retracting ORVMS, Auto headlamps and Auto wipers, climate control A/C, Connected car tech, Tire pressure Monitoring System, Terrain Response System (Normal, Wet, Rough), Hill Descent control. In order to Nit-pick it could have get ventilated seats, sun blinds in the 2nd row and more considering the price.
3rd ROW COMFORT
The legroom in the 3rd row is quite nice, but for longer journeys you will have to have mutual understanding with the person in the 2nd Row for enough enough legroom. the under-thigh support is good enough and seat isn't placed too low and adjustable headrest are boon. For comfort there are A/C vents on the side and there is place to keep your phone and other stuff. Overall the 3rd is decent enough its great for the kids, adequate for medium size adults and Tall passenger will not be comfortable here.
PERFORMANCE
Let's start with the heart of the matter, the oil burner is a Fiat and Jeep Sourced is 2.0L Kryotec diesel engine 1956 cc in-4 cylinder produces 170 Horsepower at 3750 RPM & 350 Nm of torque from low 1750-2500 RPM, its powerful diesel engine paired to 6 speed manual/ 6 speed torque converter sourced from Hyundai. The Safari is based on OMEGARC it's derived from Land Rover's D8 platform, they have used steel instead in order to give aggressive pricing. The refinement levels are good , drive ability lower down is decent because of turbo lag, but its not much. Clutch is heavy and the gearbox isn't the smoothest shifting. The car feels absolutely rugged and gives that SUV feel which most 7 seaters are lacking. The steering wheel is a hydraulic unit, at lower and parking speeds its quite heavy, at higher speeds it gives feedback and weighs up as well. the car is composed around the corners, capable enough where in you can push the car with 6/7 passengers on board.

Safety Features
On the safety front ESP (Electric stability program), ABS with EBD, Brake disc wiping, Roll over mitigation, Cornering Stability control, hill Hold control, 6 Airbags, rear parking sensor with camera, 14 ESP other mods.
COMPETITON
Hyundai Alcazar And MG hector
PRICING
XE - 18.22lakhs (On-road Mumbai)
XZA (AT) Adventure Edition - 26.56 lakhs (On-road Mumbai)
CONCLUSION
If I had to buy mid-sized 7 seater than it would be TATA SAFARI, Or Toyota Innova, It has got bullet proof reliability and the brand has proven it self over the years period!, I know i have to sell my kidneys for it ;). If I would buy the TATA SAFARI then I would short-list the XT+ Or XZA+ trim with 7 seats.
