[@saswatmishra2759]

XUV 700 also has cheaper spares and service costs compared to Safari/Harrier, so it also helps in having more resale value.

[@harshaokin8064]

Honestly most people crying about lack of AWD in the safari are never even gonna buy one if it did have AWD. maybe a handful of them might. But that's all. As a business, it doesn't make sense for Tata Motors to make keyboard warriors happy. That's the simple truth

[@yellowflash511]

Then why does xuv700 have it? Both cust the same one has it one doesn't. Hence you need just 1 braincell to realise which is better. Safari is a good car but at 30L it should at least have AWD, we're not even talking about 4x4 here.

Bro they just want to show off by saying it's a AWD but never gonna do off-road

[@manuatradiants]

I am from Munsiyari village in Pithoragarh (Uttarakhand). We have XUV 700 (AWD) for 1.5 years now. I think XUV is still not an off-roader. Maybe Scorpio-N is a better choice for someone who does offroading. If someone is stuck in snow, he/she will need chains with low tyre pressure. That's what everybody does in hills. Very less local ppl drive AWD or 4X4 in Uttarakhand. Several tourists get stuck in Snow in their 4X4 Thar etc every other day specially in winters. If I get an option now to select between Safari and XUV, I will choose to return XUV to go with Safari.

[@vijay001theghost]

[@gurman241]

@BusinessMail-dv7nc Out of a wide number of units sold of ScorpioN, it was one of the rare instances. Tata twins sell much lesser in comparison, but their issues are much more prominent in various forums. I am sorry for the owner who had to bear with such a loss due to his faulty unit. Mahindra isn't innocent here, they should have amicably reached out to the owner. The issues with Mahindra are lesser, but they most often refuse to put aside their ego in such cases. Heck, they haven't openly addressed various prominent issues with their vehicles such as Airbags not opening. That's why, the Japanese will always hold an upper hand over Indians.

[@venukrithish007]

What facelift😅

[@naseemahamad3006]

Last month, i drove xuv 700 and safari facelift for 3,000 kilometers both till Manali(automatic). It is my take away: 1: Safari suspension is amazing, it smoothly glides over bad patches 2: Safari gearbox is better, and fees less jerking while shifting. 3: safari has better road presence, xuv is also beautiful, but safari has an edge. 4: Third row is practical in safari. XUV 700….. 1: Engine is just rocket, very refined, feels like driving BMW. 2: The car is more spacious despite the fact that middle row can slide in safari. 3: Cabin feels more luxurious. 4: Easy to drive vehicle for thousands of kilometers, no tiredness. 5: Zero software glitches encountered during trip. 6: Under thigh support is better in xuv. 7: Adas is very accurate in xuv 700. Note: Please don’t get offended, but xuv in my opinion, is more practical car, and gives a feel driving any foreign made car. Sometimes, hard to believe it was made by Mahindra.

Tata Safari have more premium feel in side the cabin and driving area than Mahindra XUV. Tata Safari have edge over XUV 700 by its Massive road presence , capability to drive on rough road or urban road without having AWD & Tata safari is more practical to use in urban and rural areas than XUV 700. ₹ 30 lakhs + suv buyers wouldn't be bother for resale value , Rather than he would prefer for driving pleasure ,comfort and safety these all are present in Tata Safari The Indian range rover ❤.

Nice review👍🏻 I have a 2023 Safari XT+ dark edition, not a facelift version. I had many reasons to buy it like Comfort, no suspension noise, built quality, and power doesn’t matter as we can’t drive above 120kmph on our highways. For all AWD people: Most of them even don’t go to High-terrain areas or do offroading. NOTE: You will see XUV700 in Cabs but not a SAFARI🙌🏻 and it matters.🔥

[@gurman241]

Safari could have been a better vehicle, but it fails miserably in achieving that position. Nowadays, even a day doesn't pass without hearing laments of owners regretting their decision of going for Tata's vehicles. I have put some light on what some folks in the comment section have addressed- 1. Suspension Noise in XUV700- The noise from suspension has apparently been resolved. But I guess, there are still some owners experiencing it. 2. Cabin Space- I have personally compared the space management and gotta agree, Safari does a better job at it. The headroom and space in 3rd row is considerably better in Safari. 3. Ride and Handling- XUV shines in raw power, ride quality and handling. I am acknowledging this fact on the basis of views from those who have driven both vehicles. I have never got a chance to test drive or even start a Safari; everytime, I visited the dealer, it's battery was always dead. The only vehicle that was in a working condition was the Nexon. 4. Cabin Ambience - Safari's interior might seem more premium, but the quality control and rough edges snatches away all the luxury. XUV's interior has got better ambience and quality control. Like I mentioned earlier, I never started the vehicle, that could be a reason why I felt XUV's interior stance to be better. Here are my views on different factors that most folks here addressed. So at the end of the day, which one would I favour? Well if Tata had a better quality control, ASS and fame, the tagline 'Safari' was replaced by say 'Gravitas', Safari sold as much as XUV and had similar raw power, then I would have undoubtedly gone for the Safari. But considering the present scenerio, I will vouch for XUV700. It is for sure, a better and safer option overall.

[@bharatshroff4085]

Do you own any one of the either vehicles, as you're being way too judgemental??

[@gurman241]

@@bharatshroff4085 I will book the XUV700 sooner or later if everything goes right. I have pointed out the stuff which I gathered from reading various reviews, I am not being much judgemental, am I?

[@bharatshroff4085]

Thanks for ur reply, Hope you own ur one soon. Since I am owning XUV I would suggest the After Sales Service of Mahindra is a headache. The vehicle no doubt is a class but the latest launched Harrier & Safari twins looks flamboyant & awesome & the Jeep sourced diesel engine is quite capable enough in low RPM.. However the XUV engine is more robust for fun loving & thrill seeking drivers.

[@evoIndia]

Amen to that! Test driving before buying is the answer to most car buying doubts!

[@ankurgupta1645]

For me suspension are extremely important and suspension of Safari are far better than XUV 700 in Indian road conditions. XUV suspension is more like sedan, too much jerky on bad roads. If I am upgrading to SUV I need not to slow down in small bad patches. I took the test ride on same road back to back for both the cars and found Safari better on suspension front. Obviously engine performance is better in XUV 700. But overall I found Safari to be more like SUV while XUV to be more like crossover Sedan.

[@cannotthinkofoneatth]

about the grip being better in turns, is that only for the AWD or just in general.. have booked top end diesel 2wd and on fence about the AWD.. How does it do in terms of performance and stability/handling as compared to its 2wd counterpart

[@evoIndia]

It’s better in general. Where the AWD gives you the edge is putting down power aggressively on corner exits. With four tyres to put down power, acceleration out of bends is better

[@cannotthinkofoneatth]

@@evoIndia thank you!

[@cannotthinkofoneatth]

@@evoIndia so it seems like the awd is about a 100kgs heavier than the 2wd.. is acceleration same/better/worse considering more grip but also more weight to lug

Hi there, I watched your videos on KZbin and think you might be able to help me with some questions. I’m considering the Safari, XUV700, and Scorpio N for my needs. I have a large family of seven, and I plan to travel across India-not to extreme locations like deserts, but to places like Ladakh, Spiti, and Manali where there might be snow and black ice. I’m wondering if the Safari will be suitable for these conditions or if I should opt for the XUV700 with all-wheel drive or the Scorpio N with 4x4. I’m leaning towards the Safari due to its impressive road presence and comfort, but the XUV700 is appealing for its performance. However, I’m also concerned about the reliability of Tata cars. Do you think the Safari is reliable? If you were choosing a new car, would you go for the Safari or a Mahindra model?

Driving experience, ease of driving and the feel of Safari even after 2.5 years of driving makes it the best SUV in its segment. This is my experience of driving this vehicle since Oct '21. Good vehicles drive the same even after many years of driving and that's what speaks about the superior engineering of this world class SUV - built on Omega Arc platform, Safari is a proven vehicle and will be the king of Indian SUVs for a very long time. Having driven other SUVs too, i would still go out and purchase a new Safari (even now) without much ado...

[@evoIndia]

[@shas312]

How is your experience with Safari? Any issues? How is the service cost? We have booked a Harrier in our family. We have really fell in love with the car over XUV700. But reading its issues all over the internet, is not giving the confidence. So asking...because nothing better than an owner's experience.

[@riteshsharmaadvocate]

Guys... which looks more premium, XUV or Safari? Help me decide please as I have to buy one in 2-3 days? (Im not inclined towards performance... i want to make an impression)

[@gurman241]

I would recommend you to undoubtedly go for the Mahindra XUV700 between the two. Moreover, Hycross is an even better choice but it's much more expensive. If you can afford it's top ends from VX(O) then it might be a favourable choice. But you can anyways save money and choose the XUV700. It's now a tried and tested product, and you will end up loving every bit of it. Just imagine travelling at night on a highway with those 12 speakers playing your favourite song, it feels like being on cloud nine as those white lights illuminate it's interior.

[@evoIndia]

Hi Ritesh, while looks are always subjective, we think the Safari looks a tad bit better, especially in this new avatar. That said, the XUV is a looker too. Why not check them both out at dealership, maybe with your family and friends. That should help you make a decision.

[@prayasdash]

4X4 in my opinion is absolutely useless. In a normal household if you buy a car and do off-roading then after coming back home your mom will run behind you with a slipper in her hands because the car would've been so dirty. So, honestly 4X4 is extremely unnecessary in a segment best luxury vehicle like Tata Safari. What they can offer is AWD, there's a difference. 4X4 is usually used for off-roading with 4H and 4L gears to travel on suitable off-road terrains but AWD is a simpler component where power is sent to all 4 wheels, basically the car is in 4H all the time. The AWD could be necessary because FWD SUVs can have the potential to skid in higher speeds or wet places. So, in case it rains the AWD system would give better traction. Just like in XUV 700, it's primarily a FWD car, but when the car needs traction during high speeds or wet roads the power is respectively sent to all 4 wheels so that the car is balanced. The same system in the Safari can help the car go through such conditions as, except for KZbin videos no normal person will ever take their Safari or XUV 700 to off-road. Like, the max you'd do is hoon around in sand which is possible in the FWD model as well, but the AWD would've a purpose a lot different to off-roading.

Leaving everything aside, It is absolutely stupid to put 30+L on a Tata when they have known QC issues. 25 years since Tata entered the passenger car segment and yet they are unable to give cars without QC issues.

[@indraneelghosh3696]

Tata is second highest selling passenger vehicle manufacturer. Safari + Harrier sell over 5500 units a month. Ask majority of Safari owners and they will vouch for this vehicle anytime. For people who value driving comfort, ease of driving and feeling of safety of this car, they won't trade it for any other SUV. Don't make judgements based on reviews online. Drive all SUVs at least 3 - 4 times and then take a call. Most probably you will choose Safari - the Omega Arc platform is unbeatable on Indian roads...

[@adityasundar324]

@indraneelghosh3696 Most of the buyers have more complaints than praises. The QC of Tata is so pathetic. The AS&S is even worse. Tata's AS&S was like how Skoda was 15 years ago (However Skoda did not come with QC issues). Immaterial of how good platform it is built on, if the AS&S is bad, no one will get a car. In fact, a brand new Safari was completely disassembled within 3 days of delivery and after much pressure and media coverage, the customer was refunded his entire money. Funny thing, Tata did not know how to resolve the issue. I'm an active member of T-BHP and I've come across innumerable horror stories of Tata that I wouldn't touch it with a 10 feet pole! If numbers speak for the product, Maruti makes better products than Tata 😊

No captain seats for AWD version only for 2WD captain seats option available

[@LplusRatioLol]

If only Tata had better Manufacturing quality and after sales service. Tata is nailing the design game and features

[@abhijith.manikandan]

XUV 700 ftw!⚡

[@evoIndia]

Hey, what do you like the most about it, Abhijith?

[@abhijith.manikandan]

@@evoIndia 1. Proper headlights rather tubelights 2. Cornering ability 3. Physical buttons + flush door handles 4. Performance & AWD 5. Overall design looks majestic.

[@Sargasmik]

I’ve noticed many reviews and features about the XUV 700 lately. It seems like the sales might be declining.

[@RokDainBatua]

Hey luv ur videos Fam! Just an request, Can u make an video on Chevy Spark?

[@sourabhsharma2888]

I will wait for Petrol Safari 😊 Investing in Diesel vehicle (esp at NCR) makes little sense.

[@evoIndia]

Let's hope it comes soon then!

[@harishe6069]

Petrol SUV's are gas guzzlers, would return in single digit FE.. not worth IMO..

[@forever_momentss]

dont buy safari

[@tushargurav4550]

​@@harishe6069That's the reason TATA is developing 1.6 Liter Gdi petrol engine , which deliver good power and decent enough mileage . 2000 cc is a huge engine so it requires fuel as well

[@Rajivrajan1]

We hit a few speed breakers in the city and Highway in a harrier and that took it like a tank and one could hardly feel it. The xuv didn't feel that tank like. Also, do the my24 XUV have the suspension noise still? And how are the wait times because I waited over a year for the xuv700 awd and got fed up with price increments post booking, non responsive sales, the long wait times and finally bought the Octavia before it was discontinued.

[@yashvardhansingh9779]

Camera doesn’t do safari justice ,when i first saw it in my rear view mirror it looked so mean and muscular

[@Haripriya-50]

Safari is luxurious xuv is for masses

[@pranjitsaikiawrthunderx1648]

Tata Safari 😎👌

[@evoIndia]

Great choice, though what do you like the most about the Safari Prasanjit? We'd love to hear from you.

[@theonlymanofsteel]

XUV wins if you want a cheaper capable suv and are willing to live with low class commercial service centre experience. Safari wins if you can afford to spend a little extra for luxury and features. Both cars have issues but not like they will stop you from your daily work. Our xuv700 had an issue and dealership took lazy 2 weeks to fix so not buying xuv for sure.

[@hariharansubramanian]

"low class commercial service" Have you even seen how horrific Tata service experience is?? Mahindra if miles better

[@absmail007]

It's the opposite... Service @Tata is horrible as per feedback from my friends and relatives, Being an owner of Mahindra vehicle since 2014, I can confirm service has less issues compared to Tata..

[@theonlymanofsteel]

I know two xuv owners who are unhappy with their product. I also checked on youtube where numerous xuv owners are complaining..one even complained of brake fail...just imagine what damage that could cause when you are with your family. Then I also checked carwale, they have 3 safaris that are less than 3 years old and 27 xuvs for the same period. wake up guys, you're being fooled by marketing gimmics. ask any Tata owner and you will know their issues are very minor and are more of choice issues than real ones.

[@theonlymanofsteel]

and just for clarity, service of hyundai and suzuki is almost same level as Tata and Mahindra. I guess all these brands are going through a very tough competitive phase to capture market share in growing economy so their service isn't keeping up with the sales.

[@theonlymanofsteel]

@@hariharansubramanian no bro .. I can tell you about Delhi NCR. Please come and visit both showrooms and you will see the difference.

[@adityabhardwaj2237]

Loved the video just wanted to know if the captain seats have better under thigh support than the bench variant in xuv700 Also for some reason the Xuvs that we test drove all felt like the old safari, excessive vibrations seeping into the steering and cabin while the safari on the other hand felt butter smooth , is this simply down to the test drive vehicles being old and abused

[@evoIndia]

Yep, that's the case for sure. Test drive units do sometimes feel rough. About your query, yes the captain seats are far more comfortable.

[@adityabhardwaj2237]

@@evoIndia that's a relief because I honestly found the rear bench of the xuv to be a bit lacking in terms of comfort and under thigh support

[@venukrithish007]

The c drl's look a bit awkward on the all black. I hope thats redesigned significantlu in the facelift

[@bhartiagamer0861]

Both are good but Innova is king 😅

So do we Divakar! The Safari has quite a road presence.

[@funshorts_12346]

Anytime Safari is the best❤❤❤

[@xuv1940]

everytime xuv 700 is best

[@bruceparker3139]

If only xuv700 had 2nd row movable seats woth ventilation, sunblinds and bit of roof scooped up for better 3rd row head room, it would have been a banger. I really like safari for this very reasons

[@vishwasudr]

Safari looks far better in style! The only complaint I have with new safari is the space for phone and other things for front seats. Also,XUV has long wait….

[@78anant420]

I saw safari standing in forum Mall, kanakapura, Bangalore last weekend . The sales person was not at all interested and was sleeping inside the car. They did not show us any features and set the battery is dead. How can display cars battery be dead. It is either a pathetic sales or a pathetic product. There was very less space in the last row. The dashboard was nothing to talk about. The white seats were already dirty.

[@vishwavijaysawant4018]

XUV 700 Is Flagship killer 🔥

[@prateekjena9098]

Safari with XUV's engine ❤

[@TheAbhinav1001]

I love the Safari... But I would like to see a All Wheel Drive or 4x4 in the Safari.. Also some more luggage space please! 3rd row seat is good but can be better for Adults

[@suvratrai]

I still miss Safari Storm and its character !

[@rutwikgosavi8757]

It's nice of you to introduce the intern😂

[@prashukumar2301]

does Safari have sim configuration like XUV have and inbuild navigation like Mapple XUV have ?

[@cccvinod]

One of the plus point Petrol version Mahindra, where Safari lacks as only available in Diesel version

[@Juniordatascientist-k8d]

Anyday I will pik xuv700 because it has Mahindra engine TATA engine lacks initial pickup and reliability And no comparison to Mahindra's Mhawk engine 😊

[@AC-1985]

Couldn't help but notice misaligned number plate on Safari and ignorance of dealers that covers radar, which causes so many warnings and failures.

[@anasanwar603]

9:28 The xuv also gets the cooled storage bin.

[@evoIndia]

Yes, it does.

[@Kamrankhan-im2nv]

Xuv 700 safaring in looks❤

[@TheRock1.0]

Safari is rated 5 star for both child and adult safety. XUV700 is 4 start for child and 5 star for adult.

[@Anatoly_Dyatlov]

Safari is tested under new Gncap Standards !!! XUV is tested under old GNcap Standards... There's some difference between both !! BTW XUV that was tested has only 2 air bags...

[@TheRock1.0]

@@Anatoly_Dyatlov The star ratings are still correct. Both under old and new. Read the report. You will know.
