Review Of Safari After 6000 Km

Review Of Safari After 6000 Km

Here is my review of the Safari after driving it for 6000 km (6 months): Mileage: 5/5 stars (averages over 20 km on the highway)
Stability: 5/5 stars
Infotainment: 2/5 stars (experiences occasional lag and unresponsive touch)
Acceleration: 5/5 stars (noteworthy in city and sports mode)
Customer support: 4/5 stars (an adequate effort to resolve issues)
Roadside assistance: If the vehicle is under warranty, service is available but may take 2-3 hours.
Service: Routine servicing is similar to other vehicles, but extra attention is needed for DEF level (additional expenses may be incurred).
Accessories: Tata's accessories are expensive; it is more economical to purchase them from outside sources.
Paint quality: 3/5 stars (prone to stone chipping on highways, so darker colors should be avoided)
Overall build quality: 4/5 stars (strong, but uneven panel gaps and finishing could be improved in certain areas like doors)
Transmission: Manual transmission may not be suitable for inexperienced drivers due to the risk of clutch damage. Automatic transmission is problem-free.
Lights: Comes with halogen lights (insufficient for night driving), recommends replacing with LEDs (costs approximately 20k)
Engine Noise: Minimal noise in the driving compartment even at speeds of 100 km/hr
Top Speed: Smooth performance up to 165 km/hr
Suspension: 5/5 stars (equipped with McPherson strut front suspension and anti-roll bar for improved stability compared to previous Safari, Scorpio Classic, and Duster models. No comment on XVU 700 and Scorpio N)
Steering: Not exceptionally smooth due to the hydraulic system, but hydraulic steering provides better stability in the SUV segment
Engine: Powered by the Kryotec 2.0 L Turbocharged Engine (similar to the one in the Jeep Compass)
