Tata Safari DiCOR (2017) Review

When the Tata Safari initially hit the market it was taken as a symbolic representation of adventure and freedom. With the passage of time however many foreign manufacturers released their own versions of the utility vehicle into the Indian market with the result that the Tata Safari fell out of fashion. To match up to the raised standards set by the foreign companies Tata reintroduced an enhanced version of the Safari known as the Safari DiCOR (Direct Injection Common Rail Diesel). Tata Motors India has launched an upgraded model of Safari which is bullet-proof and can withstand AK-47 rifle fire and hand grenade explosion. Even the glasses of armoured Safari can resist attack from small arms. Tata launched Safari in India in 1990s and till now it has managed to develop its own market with huge fan following. It is first choice among prospective buyers who wants to own a comfortable, feature rich and affordable sports utility vehicle. The bullet-proof version of Safari has been priced around 60 lakh rupees which seems to be quite reasonable considering the fact it is the only bullet-proof SUV available for this price. This variant of Safari is powered by the same 2200cc diesel engine which is technically very sound and is also fuel efficient. Bullet-proof Safari is not on display at the dealers but you can place your order with them and it will be delivered in one month or so. Exterior As most Indian customers like their cars big and bulky, the birth of sports utility vehicles became an undoubted success in the country. As the saying goes, the bigger something is the better. Back in 1991, Tata Motors Ltd has come up with the concept of SUV and was the first vehicle manufacturer in India to introduce such model which they called as the Tata Sierra. This model was followed by the release of Tata Sumo and the famous Tata Safari. As the years went by, Tata Sierra’s massive production was ended, but still, Tata Safari is in the game . Through constant research and tests, the original SUV has been transformed into various models. The Safari Storme is the fourth advancement on this segment and is one of the most promising models as well. The outside design of this vehicle had gone through some major changes which can be easily noticed. This exciting vehicle, Safari Storme, was revamped with a new hood and forward-facing grille that comes with a chrome stripe. The front grille comes with the car’s logo, Storme, embossed on it. The headlamps are carefully attached to the grille, making the vehicle’s front look more masculine. The outline of the Tata Storme is identical to Safari’s silhouette however the Storme comes with more chrome plated parts such as the back view mirrors. As Indians define chrome as a symbol of elegance, Tata Motors has given the Storme the touch that is mostly asked for. Interior Apart from the luxurious external design, the Tata Safari has been dressed with v ery eye-catching dual tone beige interiors . It comes with a dual tone beige dash board that is loaded with cutting-edge graphic instrument collection and leather fabric. Other exciting features that make Tata Safari’s interiors sophisticated are the leather covers for the steering wheel and gear shift knob, Central Console Finish, the indicators on the ORVM, the embossed Safari logo on the front seats headrests, roof mounted rear AC Vents and headrest mounted LCD screens on front seats. These features make Tata Safari a one of a kind ride in terms of looks and comfort. Tata Safari is not only a classy SUV model when it comes to outside appearance because it is loaded with lots of advanced luxurious features thus offering more comfort for a pleasurable travelling experience. The wonderful features installed in this vehicle are AC with HVAC (Heating Ventilation and AC), Tilted Power Steering, Roof Mounted Rear AV Vent, Electrically Adjustable Side Rear View Mirror, Power Windows, Electrically Operated Remote Fuel Flap, Digital Outside Temperature Indicator, On Board Advanced Music System, Key-less Entry, Height Adjustable Driver Seat, Arm Rest on Driver and Co Driver Side, 3 Positions Lumbar Support For Front Seats, 60:40 Spilt and Completely Folding Middle Row Seats, Cigarette Lighter in Front Console, Ash Tray at Front and Middle Rows, Cup Holders on Floor Console, Electrical Rear Glass Demister, Rear Wash and Wiper, Follow Me Home feature that brightens the car’s path after parking, Front Roof Lamp cum Spot Reading, Glove Box Lamp, Lamps with Delay Function, Adjustable Light Intensity on Instrument Panel, Coat Hooks on Door, Puddle Lamps on Front Door, Digital Trip and Tachometer, Storage Net in Luggage Compartment Analogue Clock on Center Console and Magazine Pockets in the Door Pads. Shades Tata Safari is available in following shades : Mountain Green, Passion Red, Artic White, Pearl White, Light Gold, Cycus Grey, Quartz Black, Artic Silver and Steel Blue. Safety Features Aside from controls that are easy to navigate, Tata Safari comes with a remote central locking system that protects the car from intrusion. It also comes with parking sensors for ease when it comes to parking and fog lamps to aid drivers during unfavourable weather conditions. It comes with a terrific supply of active and passive protective gears such as dual airbags, central locking and child safety lock, automatic break system with EBD, reverse guide system, side impact bars, rear fog lamps with reflex reflector, motorized headlamp adjustments, headlamps on key-out warning and other safety features to help prevent injuries during a roll over or a crash. Engine and Gearbox Before the Indica was released, Tata Motors was focusing on producing service vehicles like the Sierra and Sumo. Later on it was followed by the Safari line in the latter half of 1990 to 2000 where in Tata Motors had then announced the release of Safari that comes with a 2.0 litre turbocharged diesel engine with 90 brake horse power. Far along, Tata Motors had even created an option for a 2.1 litre engine with 135 brake horse power petrol engine on Safari. Although this change did not satisfy many car buyers due to its lower mileage, Tata never stopped making innovations to perfect the needs of their customers. After some feedback from customers that Safari is under-powered, the company has launched the new Safari with a 3.0 litre DiCOR engine that picked up the engine block concept from Tata 407 thus giving the vehicle a common rail regulator train. Today, the Tata Safari also comes with a 2.2 litre DiCOR engine which is preferred by many customers. DiCOR actually stands for Direct Injection Common Rail. In contrast to the agricultural origins of this engine, an ultramodern Delphi Multitec 1600 bar fully electronic Common Rail Direct Injection System does the job of supplying fuel. This is able to provide the consumer best all round performance in acceleration, noise reduction and overall control patented adaptive learning technology. The DiCOR VTT engine develops maximum power of 140 Bhp at 4000 rpm and maximum torque of 320 Nm at 1700 rpm . The gearbox now has been totally revamped and as the Tata engineers explained is a grounds up effort. The Safari uses double-cone synchro rings in the gearbox, hence shifting is much easier; Tata could now work on reducing the travel perhaps. The clutch though as good, its quite heavy and is unable to keep the vibrations of the motor at bay. It continues its high stance with a rather long bonnet; it exudes ruggedness; even in the face of its rather more timid looking clear lens headlamps and some extra chrome that has gone into its anti-aging process. Features Safari GX is packed with these comfort and safety features: Dual tone exteriors in selected shades, Leather cum fabric upholstery, Reverse guide system with camera in rear bumper, ABS with EBD, Turn indicators on outer rear view mirrors, Alloy wheels, Available in both 4×2 and 4×4 version, Power Windows, Power Steering, Remote Central Locking, Tubeless Tyres, Rear Wiper with Washer, Rear Defogger and Tilt-able & Collapsible Steering Column. The top model VX comes with all of the above features plus dual SRS airbags , full leather interiors, MP3/DVD Player with Dual LCD Screens. The Safari is generally well kitted out for the size and the price. Safari was the first vehicle in India to offer the Reverse Guide System using a camera in the rear bumper and the Internal Rear-view Mirror as the Screen.

Inside, both SUVs get a revised dashboard design with new control surfaces and more tech. Top models now feature a new 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system along with a new 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. Furthermore, each trim level – Persona in Tata speak – gets its own unique interior trim finishes to stand out. There’s a lot to talk about by way of features as well with both SUVs packing in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, powered tailgates, panoramic sunroof with mood lights, electronic parking brake with auto hold, ventilated front seats, ventilated seats in second row (Safari), powered driver seat and more.

Tata has also revised the variant names going from the previous XE, XM, XT and XZ variants to using Smart, Pure, Adventure, Fearless and Accomplished. As with the outgoing model, Tata is offering both SUVs with the Dark Edition variants.

Expert Review on Tata Safari

• Solid Road Presence
• Spacious And Comfortable Cabin
• Well-Specced With A Host Of Features
• Heavy Weight Is Quite Noticeable In Traffic
• Automatic Gearbox Could Be More Responsive
• Infotainment System Feels Not The Most Reliable

Like many Tata models the Safari also gets drive modes so you have City, Eco and Sport and yes there is perceptible difference between City and Sport for sure. But there is also a terrain response system a la Land Rover. Rough Road mode, Wet mode and then back to the default City drive mode.

Tata Safari 

The Tata Safari carries the rich legacy of the original SUV that was a hit on Indian roads. The new Safari has been completely revamped and comes with more equipment and a whole new look and feel. 

How’s the Design?

The Tata Safari has a front fascia that is almost similar to the Harrier. The split headlamp cluster is the same and there is a differentiated tri-arrow pattern for the front grille with chrome finishing. There is a third row of seats now and the roofline is also higher for the SUV along with a rear overhang which is longer. It also comes with a rear quarter glass that is full-sized and the tail-end is also very upright. The tail lights are different from the Harrier though. There are chunkier roof rails which are designed to indicate a stepped roof. The Safari is longer and taller while the wheelbase and width remain the same. 

How does it perform?

The Tata Safari’s engine has high levels of refinement while there are Eco, City, and Sport driving modes. The engine offers a wide and punchy power band, while the Sport mode is the best for higher drivability. You can easily get the SUV up to higher speeds although there is some noise when you rev the engine hard. There are 6-speed manual and automatic transmission systems and the driving experience is also neat. The clutch is a little heavy if you are using the manual transmission unit. Slotting the gears will require a little more effort in turn. The automatic version comes with a unit from Hyundai and shifts smoothly engine. The Safari is responsive and agile enough. 

How’s the mileage?

• Diesel Manual- 16.14 kmpl
• Diesel Automatic- 14.08 kmpl 

How’s the driving experience?

The Tata Safari offers a mixed bag in terms of the driving experience and the ride. The steering feels heavier at lower speeds while higher speeds are not as comforting or balanced. However, the Safari is a good highway cruiser and offers more confidence and stability. The suspension system is more robust and is softer as well, leading to better absorption of bumps at lower speeds. The Safari can readily tackle bad roads, potholes and uneven stretches. 

What’s the interior like?

The cabin is quite similar to the Harrier. The dashboard looks neat although the Oyster White interior theme is the stand-out feature here. There is also the electronic parking brake now. There is a great view from the driver’s seat with mostly high quality materials inside. The central console, however, may eat into the driver’s knee room. The 8.8 inch touch screen infotainment unit appears small inside the car. The quality of the rear view camera could also have been better. There is a lengthy feature list including the JBL audio system, panoramic sunroof, and the powered seat for the driver along with connected tech features. Wireless charging is unavailable though. The middle row has theatre-esque seating with a higher placement for the seats. Comfort is great and the overall experience is good enough, with the 60:40 sliding function. There is a Boss  mode for adjusting the co-driver’s seat from the back itself. The top-end variant also gets a six-seater configuration with captain’s seats in the middle. These come with great cushioning and comfort, while offering several adjustments and a folding armrest. The rear windows however skip sun blinds and USB slots are hard to find when you venture near the central tunnel. The third row is accessible with the one-touch fold and tumble mechanism. Once you are in position, the space is not that bad. Adults will find decent legroom and the big windows create an airy feeling with blower control and two USB charging slots as well. 

Tech and infotainment

The Tata Safari comes with its 8.8 inch touch screen infotainment system with connected car and remote tracking functions, a reverse camera, panoramic sunroof, USB charging slots, JBL audio system, powered driver’s seat, and a lot more. 

Safety equipment

The Tata Safari comes with six airbags along with ABS, EBD, ESC, traction control, and brake assist. There are other features including fog lamps, parking sensors, and hill-descent control. 

Which variant to buy?

You may check out the XT option if you are on a tighter budget. The XMA is the value pick from all the variants, while if you are okay paying more, then the XZA or XZ variants are par for the course. The XE variant has decent equipment at the entry level including good safety features, projector headlamps, remote central locking, power outlets, and more. The XM trim comes with the automatic transmission option, a 7 inch touch screen infotainment unit, driving modes and more. The XT gets more premium features including TPMS, automatic wipers and headlamps, rear view camera, 18-inch alloy wheels, LE3D DRLs, iRA connectivity suite, ambient lighting, and a lot more. It comes only in the manual guise. The XT offers a panoramic sunroof for an extra amount. The XZ comes with an automatic transmission system and is a value offering with more airbags and safety features, the 8.8 inch touch screen infotainment unit, 7 inch semi-digital instrument console, terrain response modes, JBL audio system, Xenon headlamps, and more. The XZ+ and XZA+ take it up a notch with captain’s chairs and the sunroof but are costlier. The XZ+ Adventure is more popular with buyers due to its interior changes. 

Which cars compete in the segment?

The Tata Safari takes on the Mahindra XUV500 and the MG Hector Plus in its segment. It is the tallest and widest of the lot, while the MG Hector is the longest here. The Hector Plus has the biggest boot space while the Safari has the lowest volume. The Safari and Hector Plus both have more powerful diesel engines in terms of output. However, the torque output is the highest for the XUV500’s diesel engine. The Safari manages to hold its own in terms of features, design, handling, performance, and interior space. 

Verdict (Value for Money)

The Tata Safari offers a spacious and comfortable last row of seats along with a rugged and durable vibe. It offers good performance, a refined engine, and a long list of features. The SUV’s design is also a head-turner on the road. However, the driving dynamics and heavy steering could be minor hindrances. If you talk about a muscular and attractive three-row SUV with good performance, then the Tata Safari certainly makes a strong case for itself.

Tata Safari – Ownership Review

In continuation of our series on ownership reviews, this time we have interviewed Mr Sudhakar, the proud owner of a Tata Safari Dicor 4X2. Mr Sudhakar is a business person with great enthusiasm for long drives. He purchased his Tata Safari 4 years ago and has heavily used it since. Read on for his ownership experience with the Tata Safari.

Details of the Tata Safari

Mr Sudhakar owns a Tata Safari 4X2 diesel. It features a 4 cylinder, 2179cc engine delivering power output of 140PS@4000rpm and torque of 320NM@1700rpm. The Transmission is a 5 speed manual box, while the engine uses an advanced common rail injection.

The car’s fuel efficiency ranges from 10 KMPL in city to 12KMPL on highways.  The car has been fitted with Alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. The features of the Tata Safari include power steering, power windows, leather upholstery etc.

We asked Mr Sudhakar a number of questions. Read on for details.

Question: Since when do you own the car, what motivated you to go for the brand and model?

Answer: Our Tata Safari car was bought in 2008. We were looking for a spacious Utility vehicle with best combination of power, interior space and comfort. We were impressed with the performance of Tata Safari and the on road image of the same.

We bought our Safari used since we did not want to go for a new car.

Question: Tell something about present status of your Tata Safari

Answer:  Our Safari was driven for around 80,000KM when we bought it and now it has run up to 1,12,227 KM. Actually, we had worried if maintenance cost would go up as it had already run 80,000KM. However till now we have not come across any major problems.

Question: What was the cost of purchase?

Answer: We had bought it for approximate 5.5 Lakhs.

Question: How about cost per service?

Answer: Most of the time the service cost was around 5000 Rs, including change of oils, wheel alignment, washing etc. We do a service every 8 months or so.

Question: Any accident repairs done, insurance claimed?

Answer: So far we have had no accidents and thus no body repairs have been done.

Question: What has your Tata Safari mileage been?

Answer: So far we are getting around 10KMPL in city and in highway around 12KMPL average. We are quite satisfied with the fuel efficiency

Question: Can you tell us about your experience in long drives?

Answer: We usually take our vehicle for long drives such as Touring for various tourist places for a week or so which includes driving around 500KM or per day. It has so far given best of performance and never let us down. With spacious interiors and hence comfortable seating going on long drives was never tiresome. There is ample space available for putting luggage also. Though it can be driven at around 150KMPH, we generally drive max around 125KMPH average. Generally we never come across situations needing rash driving as we plan our tours properly and keep up with time. The suspension is very good and so is the upholstery which ensures good enough comfort for occupants. We have driven even in cross country roads without much fatigue. Also the on road image created is great. Though many competing models are available, Tata Safari has its own majestic image and still rules the road.

Question: Any breakdown faced and how did problem was solved?

Answer: So far no breakdown has occurred, it could be due to getting maintenance repairs done as per schedule.

Question: Any good and bad experience at service station?

Answer: Tata service back up is good. There are no problem in availability of spares.  The wide spread service network and availability of spares is a great advantage.

Question: How do you rate the overall ownership, would you recommend the same to others?

Answer: We are satisfied with performance of the car. Maintenance was never a problem with the highly reliable engine and overall quality of vehicle. It will justify the investment made with best of comfort and dependability it offers.

Contradicting the general opinion of high maintenance cost of Safari, we can say that the maintenance won’t be a huge burden. However, one must always keep in mind that the spare cost would be related to the cost of vehicle. We highly recommend the same to others.

Question: If going for new car which brand and make would you choose and why?

Answer: Currently we don’t have plans of going for other car in near future. However to mention one, we would to like to consider Toyota Fortuner for its better features, performance etc.

The above is the actual ownership experience of owning Tata Safari for more than 3 years. One can gauge the general maintenance one can come across at the usage of around 1Lakh km.

It is to be appreciated that the performance of the Safari remains good, even after 1.1Lakh km. We welcome our viewers to share their experience with Tata Safari and its maintenance.

Going with Tata Safari EX – What Colour Should I Choose?

Safari EX - Which colour?

Arctic silver, pearl white, quartz black.

• Total voters 21
• Poll closed Aug 23, 2012 .

The moment you sit inside Safari, you feel you are encompassed in your own heart! If anyone has seen the movie, "The Iron Man", you can understand what I mean! Your heart beats, the engine growls; your appendages move, the wheels respond, you go into nirvana, your shell keeps company with you! I happen to be proud owner of WagonR for 8 years, and Figo Diesel for 2 years. Wanted to move onto something closer, could not see beyond Safari. Just came back after taking a TD, and am bowled all over! I will surely share some more experiences in coming days, but at the moment need help from the fraternity. I have narrowed down on Safari EX version, for obvious reason of Engine Immobilizer, Music System, Body coloured bumpers and side claddings, etc. I did not like the sound of the Alpine music system though; it sounded more like tiny winy systems in local taxis. Could it be because of the setting was not proper, or it is as always? The second thing is linked to my inefficient brain for finding good colours! Would Arctic Silver or Cycus Grey look better in Safari? Since, both the colours were not available in showrooms for display, my mind cannot create those images! Black is ruled out due to maintenance issue (scratches are very much visible), and whites are very common. However, I am giving the options in form of poll.  

C'mon man!!! you are going to own a beast and you want us to tell you the color. Color is a personal preference, but still since you seek help from your community, my favorite pick would be Cycus Grey ( i prefer Black but you have already ruled it out). freakdude.  

The Beast looks really cool with black BUT i won't suggest you black as it will be a pain for you when it comes to cleaning. After black my next favorite color is Pearl White. Looks really good, gives you a kind of classy feel and not that hard to maintain as compared to Black.  

I never liked white colour for cars. After seeing a polished white colour Safari in TATA showroom last month, I must say that Safari is a real beast in White. That suits well.

@All, Great to see such quick responses! Any update on the music system would be wonderful. Also, can someone please provide me Safari PDI checklist? @Raja, Thanks a lot for the images! I am going to the dealer once again tomorrow morning, to get a look at both grey and silver Safari.

Friends, I got on road price quote of 10L 34K, for EX variant, non-pearl white colour in Ghaziabad registration. The discounts include free insurance, 2yr extended warranty, basic kit, 5K corp disc, 30K exchange bonus and 10K dealer disc. Any suggestions, whether this is fine, or TATA is giving more discount on Safari?  

Basic accessories kit, worth 2.5K, includes mats and mud flaps
