Entry Level SUV Segment Rival

20 Aug 2009

Tata Safari

The Tata Safari was the first SUV to be designed, developed and manufactured entirely in India. It started life with a 1.9-litre turbo diesel engine which was replaced over the course of time and it now comes with the 2.2-litre DiCOR VTT engine. While this engine does not make it a stronger performer than its competition, the Safari does have some distinct advantages than the Scorpio. It offers more interior room and better comfort along with a plusher ride quality. But the Safari really lags behind the Scorpio in terms of build quality and performance. While we really like this car, it's been around for ages, and we would greatly appreciate something new now.

Scorp is the king!The Safari looks very dated especially the front view.Both the vehicles provide commanding view of the road and have good road presence | Reply

well said. it has been there for ages now. The innovations haven't qiute contributed in resurrecting its image, unlike scorpio. Saf feels old now. This is where Scorpio scores. | Reply

YOU COULD NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF "GO". GO ALWAYS MEANS LET THE HELL OUT OF HERE. SO GO SCORPIO MEANS GO AWAY FROM INDIA. | Reply

I m confused between Safari and Scorpio.. can some one help me with the desicion. I want a SUV which can live for atleast 5 years with me before i dispose off. Maintenance should not be higher. I drive appx 100/- km a day. | Reply

GO TO AUTHORISED DEALER AND THEN TO SOME PRIVATE WORKSHOP, ASK THEM AFTER THE SALES EXPENSES SUCH AS PAID SERVICE, MILEAGE, SPARE COST AND RE-SALE VALUE. DON'T BELIEVE THIS AND THAT JUST MIND YOUR POCKET AND KIND OF USE YOU WANT. ALSO CHECK WHICH ONE IS BEST SUITED FOR BOTH REAL INDIAN ROADS. | Reply
