Extremely Overpriced

If you want comfort in a 5 seater car with good luggage capacity --- Creta/Seltos. --you save 20 lacs. If you want great safety and ride handling good reliable engine -- Harrier/XUV500 -- You save 20 lacs. If you want specific off-roader --- Thar -- save 25lacs If you want good off-roader and lot of luggage space Insane custom options-- upcoming Isuzu VCROSS -- save 15 lacs Exceedingly Overpriced. with the saving on all other options you can drive and maintain them for 10-15 years of ownership. BUT you got money, no one is stopping you. Don't worry about the 7 seater shit no one can sit there for any off-road situation where this car is meant to go. And if you are sitting 7 good luck fitting in your luggage. The saving on the all above cars is much better to deal than the TOYOTA engine. Plus after the merger with Maruthi Suzuki, they have started building some kind of bodies. Build quality has down. So Sad to see such a great brand taking this route for profit destroying all the trust they build over so many years.

Biggest SUV ever driven on Indian roads. Most comfortable seating which is no way comparable others

<p><strong>Exterior</strong> Tata Safari Storme - Giagantic look, tallest among remaining SUV's, Range rover styling makes Storme the best looking SUV in India.</p> <p><strong>Interior (Features, Space &amp; Comfort)</strong> Best Seating in front and back (5 seats), Most spacious in seating then compared to Fortuner. High standard plastics and fittings compared to any of the other SUV's which includes XUV and Duster.</p> <p><strong>Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox</strong> Have filled the tank and till now have roamed 500 km still i have not refueled, Fuel economy is also very good looking at the weight and size mileage is really good compared to Dicor. Engine is good, Gear box is bit hard.</p> <p><strong>Ride Quality &amp; Handling</strong> Best in the class and there is no doubt about it. You can not compare Storme comfort with any of other SUV's till (30 lakhs). Best in ride quality especially off roads. Handling is really good compared to predecessor.</p> <p><strong>Final Words</strong> Firstly, Storme is not falling under Tata Safari category. We should remove Safari and name it as Tata Storme. Reason is because Storme has got new Chasis which is 78 kgs lighter weight and 50 times stronger than Safari Dicor. Suspension is totally changed. Front and rear disk breaks with ABS and EBD. Spare wheel has been removed and two silencors. Front look and lightings are replica of Range rover. Rear as well range rover look.</p> <p><strong>Areas of improvement </strong>Tata team are very very poor in marketing such a best product in 10 - 15 lakhs slot on road price.</p> <p>Tata Storme is one of the best quality product of Tata's ever and just take the example of Royal enfeild marketing atleast and try to create more awareness to the mid age segment (20 - 35).</p> <p>Storme - Last row has to be changed, thats very very vital while people are selecting SUV's. Try to do a survey, atleast. I believe there is no complaint in the vehicle but if you change the seating then it will definately be no problem Storme for sure.</p> <p>Murali. B</p>Height, Comfort, Seating, Road View, Suspension, Braking (ABS and EBD for front and back)Speakers of the audio are not upto the standards and last row needs to be improved a lot.
