The third row of the Tata Safari is a comfortable-enough place to be. And finally, the third row: The Safari may well be a benchmark for comfort in this part of the car. Passengers sit quite comfortably, with legs in a reasonable position knees not touching their ears like in some other vehicles and with some kneeroom to speak of. There are adjustable AC vents, a nice view with the large quarter glass panels, and two charging ports as well.
However, it would have been nice if the ports were on either side instead of just on the left. In fact, apart from the moderate engine noise, the Safari feels just as swift and effortless to drive as any other SUV of this type — India-made or imported. On the automatic variant, the Hyundai-sourced torque converter automatic gearbox is smooth and seamless, and just a great match for this engine. There are drive modes on offer, with Eco, City and Sport being your choices.
I found the Safari to respond best in Sport mode, with no compromise in smoothness, so I left it there. Modern turbocharged engines are adept at making big torque numbers from relatively small displacements, so the Nm is not winning spec-sheet comparisons.
It stays flat over most surfaces, but the new Safari's ride quality is a bit harsh on concrete roads. Tata Motors has tweaked the suspension on the Safari to make it more compliant than the Harrier. At least, that is the claim. I found the suspension to be tuned to remain flatter in most conditions, possibly by changing the damping. Towards the end of my time with the Safari, I was less interested in driving the manual, since the automatic seemed to meet my expectations.
The manual version saves about kg in weight, according to Tata Motors, and this is evident when driving. The manual shifter is not the nicest to row, but the SUV seems to respond better thanks to the lighter weight.
If I were to buy a Safari only for highway jaunts, I might consider saving some money with the manual option. So does that mean that the Safari is any less of a Safari?
Well, yes and no. But the new Safari will offer all the driving capabilities modern consumers will ever require from it. However, pricing the Safari will still be key for Tata Motors. Tata will need to keep it competitive, especially when a 7-seat Jeep Compass and the new-gen Mahindra XUV are expected to arrive soon.
Banking on the Safari heritage, Tata Motors may be able to push a lot of units of the Safari, but again, the price will be what make or break the new Safari.

Our road tester Parth found the suspension setup to be almost perfect as the car handled potholes with ease and was not unsettled even when he encountered a bad bit of road at speed. It is a shame that Tata is only offering Terrain Response modes in the car that seems to have so much more potential which will be unleashed if it had another set of driven wheels.
Certain Features Missing — Features like degree camera, heated ORVMs and wireless charging could have been offered with the car for it is priced in the premium-end of the SUV spectrum.
But, there are plentiful other features that help make up for this oversight from Tata. Even after one is in place, he or she has to sit knee-up and it generally is not a place for adults to travel long distances in. The built quality is strong and perhaps the best in the Indian market. In the medium price range, that is the best gift from the house of Tata. The latest version of Tata Safari has won all medals for top-quality performance.
