Positives: A voice-assisted panoramic sunroof and gesture-controlled powered tailgate find their way into the long feature list. The cabin has a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and a fully digital instrument cluster, offering modern and clear visuals. Touch-based controls for AC, ventilated seats (both front- and second-row), and voice-assisted dual-zone climate control enhance comfort. The powered driver seat, rear window sunshield, wireless charger, 45W Type-C fast charger, air purifier, and rain-sensing wipers enhance the experience. The Harman music player is also offered with nine JBL speakers (including a subwoofer), which offer a rich audio experience. Wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and connected vehicle technology (iRA) keep you in control via your smartphone. The six- or seven-seat layout provides flexibility, with the second-row offering plenty of legroom and headrests for comfort on long journeys. The electric boss mode for the co-driver seat adds to the premium experience by providing unmatched legroom. Negatives: The absence of haptic feedback on the touchscreen and the lack of physical knobs for quick adjustments can be inconvenient for some users. The car lacks features like a heads-up display, which are present in some competitors. Read more

Positives: The Safari’s design is bold and commanding, featuring a prominent grille, bi-LED projector headlamps, and stylish R19 alloy wheels that give it a premium SUV stance. The illuminated Tata logo on the steering wheel and multi-colour ambient lighting add a touch of elegance to the interior. Premium upholstery with leatherette seats, along with an Oyster White and Titan Brown interior theme, elevates the look. The rear tailgate design, along with the sleek DRL strip and LED taillamps, make a strong impression, especially when viewed at night. Dark Edition is offered in some variants and has a predominantly black exterior and interior theme, along with 'Dark' badges. Negatives: The use of light-coloured materials in the interior is prone to stains and dirt, especially in dusty or muddy conditions. While the Safari offers excellent features, the design has only seen minimal changes in recent years, which may feel less fresh to some buyers. Read more

Positives: Safari has seven airbags (including a driver knee airbag), ABS with EBD, ESP, hill-hold control, and all-wheel disc brakes, ensuring top-notch safety. Features like ADAS with adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and autonomous emergency braking are available, offering advanced safety aids. A 360-degree surround-view camera, blind-spot detection, rear-cross traffic alert, and forward-collision warning contribute to safe driving, especially in tricky situations. The Safari is built on the OMEGARC platform (derived from Land Rover), ensuring a strong and durable body structure. The Tata Safari facelift has achieved a five-star safety rating in the GNCAP crash test. Negatives: Some safety features, like ADAS, are only available in higher variants. Read more
