BS6 Tata Safari 2021 Diesel review: Automatic and manual versions driven

Is Tata Safari a good value? So, let’s cut the clutter and hop on. Let’s find out how this new Safari is or how is the 7-seater version of Harrier.

Right now, we are all discussing the name - ‘Safari’, celebrating the comeback and trying to understand the connection and the legacy of Tata’s iconic Safari. Many enthusiasts are talking about the positives and negatives of naming Harrier’s 7-seater version, Safari. Discussions around Tata vehicles are often a charged discussion on the internet, and so is this. Gravitas to Safari is a great marketing strategy, which has worked for now. We are busy making Instagram stories and reels exploring the Tata Safari family tree and discussing Gravitas lineage. But, after six months this nomenclature won’t matter, the family tree won’t matter. The only question customer would be asking then- is the new Safari worth? Is Tata Safari a good value? So, let’s cut the clutter and hop on. Let’s find out how this new Safari is or how is the 7-seater version of Harrier? 

Old Tata Safari Vs 2021 Tata Safari

First, a few elements in this new Safari might remind you of the Safari silhouette or image. The stepped roofline is one of them. Safari’s name is embossed on the roof rail (a functional element in the non-sunroof version and cosmetic in the sunroof one). Rear quarter glass/panel might give you some hint. Then you have bold badging of Safari in the rear. One similar aspect would be the second-row seating.

It feels higher, and with an open sunroof, it gives an airy and commanding view of the road, reminds you of old Safari. The dimensions, body, chassis and architecture are different from the previous Safari, but the sense of space would feel very similar. That’s it. And, one update which disappointed many Tata Safari fans, the 2021 Safari is a two-wheel-drive version. Tata Motors is looking at the customer reaction and promised a 4 wheel-drive Safari in case of demand. Had the company announced a 4WD option of 2021 Safari right at the start, this naming would have been more than a marketing decision. That flagship variant, which would have made the 30 plus Safari fans very happy.

Tata Safari 2021 vs Tata Harrier 

Now let’s get right into that spot which makes the new Safari different from the Harrier. Other than the new chrome finished tri-arrow designed front grille, extra 60mm and 70kg dimensions. The Third Row. This is something we Indians love, and which was missing from this segment. Hector plus is a recent option and XUV 500 is too old now. 

Safari’s third row is usable and functional. Legroom for average Indian height would be adequate and for kids, it will be comfortable. The seats are well cushioned and adjustable headrests help. The backrest was good. However, the thigh support could have been better. Third-row seats get ac vents, two USB points and a fan switch. So, in case you are travelling with a big family with kids, this would be a new practical option but, with the third row up, luggage space would be a big issue. Especially if you have the sunroof version where you cannot use the roof rail to put luggage on the overhead carrier.

Tata Safari 2021: Features

Like all the new Tata products, this new flagship gets a long list of features like 8.8-inch touchscreen, automatic AC, rain-sensing wipers, auto headlights, push-button start/stop, cruise control and panoramic sunroof which is named Majestic Skydome. Then comes the latest iRA connectivity suite with list of connectivity and voice command features. You also get a ‘Boss Mode’ for second-row passenger where you can slide the co-driver seat ahead to make more legroom, with the help of just one lever. 

Tata Safari 2021: Safety Features 

The list of safety features in the new Safari includes electronic stability program, hill hold, traction control, rollover mitigation, corner stability control, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, all-disc brakes. The top-end XZ variant gets 6 airbags, hill descent control and ISOFIX too. 

Tata Safari 2021: Drive and Performance

Tata Harrier’s on-road performance was never an issue as far as high-speed handling and power are concerned. Safari does not disappoint either. There is an improvement on the refinement front and NVH level what we could experience. It was quick and agile. The braking was adequate and high-speed handling was good too. Some extra response from the steering wheel would have made this experience even more complete. 

Even with the 2-wheel drive option, Tata Harrier has been a good performer on the off-road terrain. So is the case with Safari. It takes on bad roads and undulations without breaking a sweat. It feels rugged and gives confidence. 

Tata Safari 2021: Automatic or Manual?

Now, this was an easy decision for me, the automatic felt more at ease with the engine. The shift was smooth, and it got along well with different drive modes and traction settings. It made the power available throughout, kept me engaged and excited plus comfortable. So, with that kind of shifting, I was not missing the manual transmission which is bit stiff, and clutch still reminds you of the earlier versions.

Tata Safari 2021 Diesel BS6: Conclusion

Overall, Tata Safari is a well-rounded package. Engine performance is good, power delivery is smoother. The automatic version would feel more sorted than the manual, and the driving experience is exciting enough. As far as its USP is concerned, the third-row space is more or less usable. Then multimedia touchscreen, rear camera resolution would need some improvement, but they are not dealbreakers if Tata Motors prices this aggressively. A price tag under 15 lakh, even if only introductory, along with an affordable automatic version price would mean tension for the upcoming XUV500, competition for the Innova, and celebration for Tata Motors.

10 Most Googled Questions On The Tata Safari, Answered!

The Tata Safari can easily be considered to be the ‘national SUV of India’.

With a stint this long, a car usually gains cult status among its admirers, and the Tata Safari is no different. The Tata Safari was a new way in which Indians embraced SUVs.

Before the Safari came into the picture, SUVs were essentially rugged vehicles not meant for the cities. All of this changed when Tata launched the Safari in 1998.

For many Indians, the Safari is the definition for an SUV. Since its launch, the car has gone through a number of updates and has been admired generously.

A car this popular surely has a large fan following. And with a large fanbase comes a large set of questions from the fans of the vehicle.

So, here are some of the most asked questions about the Tata Safari, answered.

For You: Tata Safari Is Back! Gravitas To Be Launched As The New Safari

Is the Tata Safari Still Available?

Yes and no.

No, the older version of the Tata Safari, i.e. the Safari Storme was discontinued when vehicles were getting their BS6 makeover. The Storme didn’t make the cut and was discontinued.

Why Was Tata Safari Discontinued?

As we have mentioned above, the car wasn’t upgraded to BS6 engine norms. While the Indian car market loved the car in all the years it served, the taste seems to have changed altogether now.

When Was Safari DiCor Discontinued?

This is one of the most interesting Tata Safari questions to answer.

Seeing the rising competition in its class, Tata decided to upgrade the Safari.

With Mahindra eating up Safari’s market, Tata decided to come up with the Safari DiCor. The new Safari came with an updated exterior and updated interiors. Powered by a 2.2-litre DiCor engine and it churned 140 bhp and 320 Nm of torque.

The Safari DiCor was phased out slowly in 2017, after ruling the Indian streets for almost a decade.

Which is better? Safari Storme or XUV 500?

The Safari Storme has been pitted against the XUV 500 many times. However, when it comes to both these cars, there are a set of pros and cons that need to be considered before coming to a conclusion.

Which engine oil is best for Tata Safari?

What is VariCOR?

What is the expected price of Tata Safari?

What is the estimated launch date of Tata Safari?

What is the mileage of tata safari storme.

Is Tata Safari Storme worth buying?

This might even be one of the best Tata Safari questions. The Tata Safari Storme has remained to be one of the longest-lasting variants of the Tata Safari. With all the necessary features and a lower price tag, the Safari Storme can be a good choice for many.

While the variant of the car has been discontinued, you might find some Safari Storme variants up for grabs in the second-hand market.
