Driving Confidence

Iconic design based on land rover platform, a best in class SUV give a very confident road presence to drive. Gear shifting is more refined than before, also it's big sunroof gives you more room and feel more bigger than the actual from interior. Try some road trips with amazing JBL music system.

More Expert Reviews on Safari and Seltos

2021 Tata Safari Diesel Manual First Drive Review

By Santosh Nair14 days ago

We have to admit that Tata Motors has pulled off a great product with the new Safari. As such, we strongly suggest one opts for the automatic version as all the glitches associated with the manual can be avoided. Sure, the new Tata Safari doesn’t have the off-roading caliber that its predecessor flaunted, but even then, it’s not like the original was beating the Mahindra Thar at all the mud-plugging activities either. So the new Safari stacks up well by offering great comfort and style, a strong motor with decent dynamics, a long list of features, and a thoroughly usable third row. Considering this segment is going to get crowded soon, the company did well to plug it earlier on.

Kia Seltos petrol vs diesel: Performance figures revealed

By Ninad Ambre11 months ago

We've tested both, the HTX Plus 1.5 diesel manual and the GTX+ 1.4 petrol manual variants of the Kia Seltos. And, this is not a test to ascertain if the diesel contests with the petrol or vice-versa. But it’s crafted to give a buyer an idea of how quick the car is to accelerate and more importantly how it will sprint in the city and highway conditions.
