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.

Good purchase - love my Honda Mobilio !

I have been driving this car since last 5 and half years now and I am glad that I made the purchase. Pros: 1) Engine: The engine on this car is its heart. Even though it is 1.5L; it can easily carry 8 people at 80kmph. It can easily climb mountain roads (I have travelled with family to Mount Abu, Pavagadh many times) and this car is does its job. It may climb on 1st or 2nd gear; but the engine holds fine. Does not heat up or does not require additional acceleration. Last and most important thing is the position of the engine. Because it is located slightly higher than other cars, you can also drive the car on water logged (flooded) roads (during rains). And this is the main reason why I am writing this review. My much loved Honda Mobilio has ensured that I return home safely even when there is flooding outside; and other cars are stranded 2) Comfort: This car can easily fit 8 adults with luggage; and I have done that many times. It is only when you sit in the car that you realize how spacious it is. Also, the height of the car makes it easier to get in and out. 3) Air Conditioning: The AC of this car is superb. Even though it is a big car; it cools very fast. 10/10 for AC performance 4) Driving Driving is also a pleasure. The engine revs fine; good pick up even when fully loaded. The power steering is good. The driving position also is very good; since you can adjust both the steering and the driver seat height. It gives a good view of the road. Cons: 1) Interior: With the price that I paid; they could done with a better sound system. The speakers rattle a bit during monsoons; and I have to play them for at-least 30 minutes before the rattle goes off 2) Exterior: They should give parking sensors and outside video free of charge; as this is a big car. Also, the front head lights should be improved; as they look dated. Also, they should start giving electric mirrors. Overall, I am happy with this car. It a joy to ride and I feel safe driving it. Extremely satisfied with my Honda Mobilio

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.
