Trending Questions on Tata Safari - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Amit Srivastavaon Dec 3, 2025

Hi, I am a proud owner of a Tata Aria for the last 15 years, and now I am looking to give it a final rest. I am considering the Safari, HyCross, and XUV700. As per your suggestion, which one would suit me best? My budget is between Rs 30 lakh to Rs 35 lakh.

The Toyota Innova HyCross hybrid is a no-nonsense MPV that delivers on all aspects - comfort, space, fuel efficiency, and with Toyota's backing, promises a trouble-free ownership experience. Since you like to keep your cars for a long time, the Innova Hycross hybrid is the safest bet.

The Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV700 are tough SUVs, and while both are well-equipped, the Tata car is more comfortable than the Mahindra car for passengers seated in the third row. Meanwhile, the XUV700 is a lot smoother and more refined than the Tata Safari. If you are picking between these two, we'd suggest waiting for the heavily updated XUV700, expected in the first quarter of 2026.

I want to buy a new premium 5-seater car with a budget of around ₹30 lakh. Mileage is also important to me. My average running is about 1,000 km per month.

There aren't any sedans or for that matter too many other vehicles at the Rs 30 lakh mark today. Your best options would be to look at an SUV like the Tata Safari, or if you are open to an electric car, you could check out the Mahindra XEV 9e or the upcoming Mahindra XEV 9S, which would give you more of that premium feel you want.

I have been using a Tata Altroz for about four years now. It has been good for city driving, but now I want an SUV for long drives, preferably a 7-seater. I am confused between the Tata Safari and the Toyota Innova HyCross. Which one should I buy?

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.

Asked by: Akash Agarwalon Nov 25, 2025

I want to buy a new car with a budget of ₹25 lakh. I’m torn between the Tata Safari and the Mahindra XUV700. Many online reviews recommend the XUV700, but I’ve heard a new version is due next year. Is it sensible to buy the XUV700 now? This would be my first SUV; I currently own a Baleno.

It would be worthwhile to wait for the Mahindra XUV700 facelift, which is coming early next year, as it will be getting a big upgrade, especially in terms of features and tech. It is expected to retain its wide selection of variants, which includes 5-, 6- and 7-seat versions, petrol and diesel, manual and automatic, as well as 2WD and AWD.

In your budget, you should be able to find something in the middle of the range. This is a big reason why it is preferred over the Tata Safari, which currently only comes in 6- and 7-seat guises, and only with a diesel engine, and is a little more expensive than the Mahindra, spec for spec.

However, the Tata Safari petrol version is due for a launch in December 2025, with a 170hp, 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine, which should provide more choice to buyers, and could be worth considering. However, there will still be no AWD version.

Asked by: Crisson Nov 24, 2025

Hi team, I purchased a Tata Nexon Creative+S (manual) 2023 model in December 2024 due to discounts. I recently drove the AMT variant of the Nexon (top-end) from Ooty to Masinagudi and back, and completely fell in love with the ease of driving it. Now I only want an automatic. I want to upgrade my vehicle and, with the advent of the Sierra, new Seltos, new 7XO, and the petrol Adventure+ Safari, what should I choose? Mostly the city use and highway once a month.

Since you are familiar and happy with your Tata Nexon, it's probably a good idea to stick with Tata Motors and check out the new Tata Sierra, which is launching tomorrow. It is a size and segment up on the Nexon, so it should feel like a considerable upgrade. This Tata car is also expected to come with larger 1.5-litre petrol engines, naturally aspirated and turbocharged, although the 1.5-litre diesel engine is expected to be the same.

The Mahindra XUV700 or XUV 7XO facelift is expected to gain a lot of tech from the XEV 9e and 9s, including a triple-screen infotainment system, but that aside, it should largely be the same.

Similarly, the Tata Safari petrol will gain the same 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine as the Sierra, but should otherwise be the same.

The new Kia Seltos is, for now, an unknown quantity, but it is expected to grow in size, as well as tech, which also likely means a jump in price. Hence, given most of your usage is in the city, we recommend going with the Sierra, as it will be a big enough upgrade without having to get an overly large SUV.

Asked by: Udayan Sabnison Nov 20, 2025

I'm looking to buy an SUV (petrol or diesel) with strong road presence, good fuel mileage, and low maintenance. My budget is around ₹25 lakh. I'm also open to a quality used model (post-2023) with under 20,000 km. Can you recommend options?

The Mahindra XUV700 is a reliable and well-packaged SUV that is strong on road presence, has a good amount of equipment and a strong set of powertrains. Both, the petrol and diesel engines are strong, and while the diesel is more efficient, check if your annual mileage is above 15-20,000km. The Tata Harrier/Safari have a stronger road presence but are not as reliable or efficient as the Mahindra.

Asked by: Kiranon Nov 19, 2025

Should I choose a diesel or petrol engine if I select an SUV like the XUV700 or Safari automatic?

Currently, the Tata Safari does not offer a petrol engine; however, that will change next month. Regarding your query, it really depends on what you want out of your car.

A petrol automatic Mahindra XUV700 will be refined and very peppy to drive; however, the fuel efficiency will be very low, expect a single-digit figure in the city. This is where the diesel option is better. In our opinion, the diesel engine in the Mahindra SUVs is refined enough and in our opinion the better all rounder offering a good mix of performance, refinement and efficiency.

Asked by: Amit Kumaron Nov 18, 2025

We’re a family of four planning to buy a 7-seater automatic within a ₹20–25 lakh budget. Our priorities are a 5-star safety rating, essential safety features and possibly ADAS (though we’re unsure how relevant ADAS is on Indian roads). Usage will be city driving, weekly ~200 km runs, and 5–10 long trips a year. We’re confused between the Mahindra XUV700, Toyota Rumion and Kia Carens because of concerns about XUV700’s service, Carens’ safety rating, and Rumion being similar to the Ertiga. Which should we pick?

Given your requirements, you should choose between the Mahindra XUV700 and the Tata Safari. Both three-row SUVs come with a full, 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP, both come featured-packed, and both get ADAS tech as well.

Both SUVs will also be comfy for your family on highway trips, but the Mahindra car will be a bit easier to drive in the city thanks to its lighter controls. And unlike the Tata Safari, the Mahindra XUV700 can also be had with a petrol engine, and it comes with an AWD option.

Asked by: DR ROHITon Nov 17, 2025

Hello, I have owned a Nexa XL6 for the past five years, and it has been very comfortable. Now it’s time to change the car. I’m looking for a 7-seater and have shortlisted the Scorpio N, XUV700, and Tata Safari. Please share your expert recommendation. Thanks.

Purely as a seven-seater, the Tata Safari is the comfier option, with good space for adults in all three rows. The Mahindra XUV700 comes second in terms of space, but it feels smoother and more refined than the Safari.

The Scorpio N is the least spacious, especially for adults in the third row.

Asked by: Keshav Karekkaduon Nov 13, 2025

Of the two SUVs, Tata Safari & Toyota Innova Crysta, which one would you recommend?

The Tata Safari and Toyota Innova Crysta are 6/7 seaters but are fundamentally very different kind of vehicles.

The Tata Safari is an SUV that uses a front-wheel drive layout and monocoque construction. It is significantly more modern than the Innova Crysta and packs in more tech and features. This Tata car also got a more powerful engine that delivers stronger performance.

A light steering also makes it easier to drive than the Innova Crysta in the city. Terrain modes do give it some rough road ability, but it is not an off-roader, and in some scenarios, its front-wheel drive layout might not be able to cope with slippery terrain as well as an Innova Crysta.

The Innova Crysta is an MPV with a rear-wheel drive layout and body-on-frame construction. Body-on-frame construction is generally more robust and better suited if you have to go on rough roads frequently. Also, rear-wheel drive helps when driving uphill, especially with a full load of passengers. The Innova Crysta makes for a good long-distance vehicle and is known to be reliable and efficient.

Your choice of model essentially boils down to what you require. While both vehicles offer good comfort for all three rows of passengers, the Tata Safari is more modern and will be the better choice if you spend most of your time driving in the city.

However, if the majority of your drives are long distances on the highway and over poor roads, the Toyota car is the one to pick.
