Godfather of all Suv

Great driving experience, with great stability, great comfort while riding, while driving safari you wont feel tired because of the great seating comfort, applicable for long trips also.

Poor distribution of Features across variants

Features are not well distributed across the variants... Between GX and VX there is 5 lakhs rupees difference.. Since G- SLF is only for fleet operators then one more variant in non hybrid could have been better with 1. SIX airbags, 2. Sunroof, 3. Touch screen and better music system 4. 360 camera.. 5. NO DRL To get a 6 airbags, Sunroof and other comfort features one has to go until ZX variant which is the downside. One more non-hybrid variant in that 5 lakhs gap could have given real competition to XUV, HECTOR, SAFARI etc.. So definitely it looks like XUV700 is still a better VFM and car for every budget...

Toyota Innova Hycross First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali06 Dec 2022

In 2023, the diesel Innova Crysta will be joined by an all-new generation of the Innova and that’s what we have driven here. It’s called the Innova Hycross and it’s available as either a strong hybrid or a pure petrol powered model.

2023 Tata Safari First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre15 Oct 2023

With plenty of body colour options, even a dual-tone as a first in this segment and with many new features, Tata Motors wants to ensure that the new Safari appeals to a wider audience. With its macho appearance, it still can be a symbol of authority while offering a premium and spacious cabin. Moreover, prospective buyers are being offered new technology, and added connectivity, while still being cocooned in safety. The pricing isn’t available yet, but if Tata Motors doesn’t ask for an unreasonable premium, it will be easy for a buyer to confirm his decision for it is quite appealing with the new changes.
