Trending Questions on Tata Safari - Answered by Autocar Experts

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: 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.

Asked by: Keshav Karekkaduon Nov 10, 2025

I need a 7-seater SUV, and my budget is around ₹20 lakh. Should I go for the Toyota Innova Crysta or the Tata Safari?

At a ₹20 lakh budget, you’ll only be able to afford the entry-level Tata Safari, while the base Toyota Innova Crysta would cost a few lakhs more. If that stretch is manageable, the Innova Crysta is worth it for its proven reliability and excellent long-distance comfort.

However, if you’re looking for better value, the Kia Carens Clavis is worth considering. It’s not as large or powerful as the Tata or Toyota car, but it offers nearly as much seating space, more equipment, and an overall higher-spec package for the price.

Asked by: Nitinon Nov 4, 2025

I’m planning to upgrade from my Renault Kiger AMT. I drive up to 10,000 km/year and have a ₹30-35 lakh budget (can stretch by ₹5 lakh). I want a powerful 6-7 seater automatic with ADAS, sunroof, and excellent ride comfort. It will be used mostly in the city with a few long trips each year. I also want a strong road presence. Which models should I consider?

The Mahindra XUV700 is the only option that's powerful, gets ADAS, has 6-7 seats and offers excellent ride comfort. A Tata Safari is also available at this price point, which is great on road presence and has a comfier third row; however, its diesel engine isn't quite as refined as the Mahindra's.

Asked by: Sumiton Oct 30, 2025

I’m confused between taking a 7-seater Alcazar and XUV700. Should we go for diesel or petrol? We generally run 1,200–1,400 km per month and occasionally go on long drives. Are there other options within the same budget?

Both the Hyundai Alcazar and the Mahindra XUV700 are capable 7-seater SUVs. The Alcazar is easier to drive in the city thanks to its light controls and is more affordable.

In contrast, the Mahindra XUV700 has better performance thanks to its more powerful engines, and it can even be had with all-wheel drive.

Since your running is on the higher side, it would be advisable to opt for a diesel. Alternatively, you could also consider the Tata Safari, which has a more accommodating third row than both the Alcazar and XUV700.

Asked by: Jeyagopalon Oct 29, 2025

I’m upgrading my car and looking for an MPV or SUV with a seven-seater option. My budget is ₹25 lakh, and I’m considering upcoming 2026 models. My monthly usage is around 2,000–3,000 km. Please advise whether I should buy a petrol or diesel, and which models to consider right now.

Considering you drive up to 3,000km a month, a diesel makes more sense for you. Among SUVs within your budget, the Tata Safari offers the most comfort with enough space even in the third row. MPV options include the well-rounded Kia Carens Clavis diesel, and you could even look at the Toyota Innova Crysta. Sure, the Crysta feels old, but it still delivers on seat comfort and long-distance ability.

Asked by: Pradeep Kumaron Oct 27, 2025

We’ve been using the Xylo since 2009, and our latest one is a 2019 model. We use the third row frequently for long drives, and the Xylo’s legroom has been impressive, even a 6-foot-tall person can sit comfortably in the third row. Our usage includes city drives of up to 60 km a day and long trips every two months of around 1,000 km. We’re looking for an equivalent in terms of driving comfort, seating comfort, and fairly good features. We’re considering the Scorpio N, XUV700, or anything better in the ₹25–30 lakh range.

The Mahindra Scorpio N and XUV700 are good options, but neither offers sufficient third-row space, which is important in your case.

Instead, you should consider the Tata Safari, Toyota Innova HyCross, or Maruti Suzuki Invicto. All three provide a spacious third row and fall within your ₹25-30 lakh budget.

Asked by: Praveenon Oct 17, 2025

I want to buy a 7-seater car, Alcazar or Safari. Which will be better? Also, when is the Safari petrol expected to launch?

If most of your driving is in town and the third row will only be used occasionally, the Hyundai Alcazar is a better fit. The 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine isn’t very punchy, but the Alcazar’s light controls and compact dimensions make it friendlier to drive on congested roads. It also comes absolutely loaded with features and offers a 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol option.

However, if you do frequent road trips with your family or spend a lot of time on highways, the Tata Safari is the better choice. The Safari has a far more usable third row, and the 170hp, 2.0-litre diesel engine can comfortably haul six or seven passengers. It also feels tougher overall.

As for the Safari petrol, that option will take some time. Tata plans to debut its new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine in the Sierra SUV first, which will later be introduced in other Tata models, including the Safari and Harrier.
