Both the Tata Safari and the Toyota Innova HyCross have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it depends on what suits your needs better. The Tata Safari has proper SUV looks, comes loaded with features, and is a lot more affordable than the Innova HyCross. The Toyota Innova HyCross, on the other hand, is a much better seven-seater. The hybrid is extremely efficient, even more than the Safari diesel, and it will prove to be a reliable and peaceful companion for years to come. The interior quality, though, is not fitting for a car costing over Rs 30 lakh. The lower variants, which compete with the Safari on price, get a naturally aspirated petrol engine, which is efficient on its own but not as efficient as a diesel engine, and these variants also miss out on a lot of the wow features that the top Safari variants offer.
