For the better part of a decade, the Tata Safari’s natural rival has been the Mahindra Scorpio. The Scorpio has clearly always scored the upper hand and for good reason – it has gone from strength to strength with substantial updates, which include three new engines and a suspension overhaul. The Safari, meanwhile, has been on the defensive. Despite its share of revised engines and facelifts, it has consistently lost to the Scorpio in our comparison tests. The only way the Safari could compete was with price and, over the years, it has gone from being significantly more expensive than the Scorpio at its launch, to finally undercutting it.
