Tata Motors, the home-grown automajor, rolled out the Safari SUV almost 16 years back in 1998, and at point of time, it was the most luxurious and complete SUV seen in the Indian market. Being re-christened as 'Safari Dicor' after the company rolled out the 'Safari Storme', it is the first SUV that was entirely build in India. Currently, it comes in two trims - LX and EX, and with both BSIII & BSIV Emission norms. So, in total, it has 4 variants in India which are priced in bracket of Rs. 8.25 - 9.59 Lakhs. It received first major facelift in 2005 both cosmetically and mechanically when the company introduced a new 3-litre DiCOR engine with common rail technology. Tata Safari pictures confirm the aforesaid stuff as the exteriors were modified heavily.
Coming to the interior section, the SUV comes loaded with several premium comfort features such as HVAC (Heating, ventilation and AC), Roof Mounted Rear A/C, MP3 Player with CD, USB, AUX connectivity, Height adjustable Driver's seat, 3 Position Lumbar support for Front seats, Arm rest on Driver and Co-driver side, Cigarette Lighter in front console & Ash tray at front and middle row etc. to name a few. Tata Safari features and specifications don't end here, as the list is endless. The dual tone beige theme inside the cabin is eye-soothing and pleasant. Coming to the safety front, it is quite lacklustre as it doesn't get any modern days safety features like ABS, EBD and Airbags; perhaps, the company is not aware of this very fact that whether rural or urban, every individual requires safety.
Under the bonnet, it has a 2.2 L 16 Valve DOHC VTT DiCOR Engine which thumps out a maximum power of 140PS at 4000rpm along with a peak torque of 320Nm at 1700-2700rpm. The engine is paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox and there is neither a auto transmission variant nor a 4X4 drivetrain equipped variant. Also, Tata Safari price is a bit wayward if compared with the pricing of some of the SUVs currently present in the country. However, during its initial stint, way back in the era of 1998 - 2007, it was the most popular and top selling SUV of the country but its success was cut short by the arrival of Mahindra Scorpio and Toyota Innova. Both Scorpio and Innova were advanced and up-market in terms of features, fuel economy and appearance. Check out all variants of Tata Safari - http://autoportal.com/newcars/tata/safari/
