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.
