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.

Force Motors

Absolute monster! For the people thinking it has a very weak engine, you are totally wrong's pickup is fantastic top speed goes up to 140kmph obviously it's an off-road SUV what would you expect but I'm satisfied and can go anywhere without hesitation Yeah interior and features are old fashioned but who cares only kids need fancy features TBH it's a better option than Thar and it's road presence is too good just looks like a Mercedes G wagon but one problem is that it eats too much fuel but I'm fine with that too don't buy a car if you can't feed it fuel honest review 9.5/10

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.
