How The Tata Safari Became An Iconic SUV | Rachit Hirani | History on Wheels S2 EP18

[@riturajdas1]

I just booked 3 days back… this car had been in my mind since my school days and now at 40 … it’s coming to my home this Navratri…. It’s an iconic car for us….

[@vidyakanthpechetti639]

Renuka n Rachit....Jugalbandi....Congrats Rachit...hope you have relished the moments with your senior / mentor. Renuka is our all time favourite when it comes to automobile reviews. Good to see you both together.

I saw Safari first time in 1998 in a Trade Fair in Patna. After touching the bonet and feeling the quality of steel/iron used in it, I instantly said that it will be a Game Changer! And rest is history.

So happy to see Ranuka back to what she does best, miss her car reviews.😊 Amazing nostalgic memories with old Safari😊 I sat in Safari 4x4 that was part of my Uncle's convey who was very senior officer in Indian Army when I went to visit him for a week way back in the day. What a Car, that time as a kid in school was so fascinated with it. Still Love it. 🫠🥰 Best memory Safari 4x4 standing side-by-side with T-72 Tank in the Thar Desert. Just wow!! ☺️👌🤘

[@rss8400]

That 3 litre was designated 497SP from the 407 and was massaged to deliver 115PS. The one before that was a Peugeot derived 1.9L unit and was designated the 483 DL. With the KKK-04 Turbocharger it was a peppy unit and fun to drive especially in the Turbo Sierra!

Way back in the 90s my family used to own the estate, i drove a lot of Tata cars, the first gen Indica, the estate was the family car, my first car was a MS Zen but i always wanted a Safari. After i got my sporting license from Chennai, Motor sport Federation of India, i got to drive a lot of cars. The MM Armada was one of them. but the Safari was all luxury with the 4WD. It was a tank. I still wish to get a Safari but i am waiting for them to launch a 4x4. The Safari was, is and will be a great car. Thank you Renuka and Rajiv for this video.

[@bihudattasahu9964]

Enjoyed watching your content. Thank you! I come from a lower-middle-class family, and we didn't have a car until 2017. In 2003, I made a new friend who came from a rich family; his aunty was an MLA. He told me about Safari a lot, and then it was like Love without even seeing. In 2017, I bought myself a Kwid. I hope I can win a Safari soon. Do you think TATA would come up with a Petrol version of Safari? With all the buzz around about diesel cars, I am scared to think of Diesel cars.

[@Anuj_Tomar]

It can but doesn’t make sense as it will not be efficient, what is the point for such a big vehicle as power will be way less and average will be like 2-3kmpl which will be pretty bad. Same reason why trucks and buses use diesel and not petrol. They will Move to ev, cng but petrol is not viable

[@SocialComment-t3n]

Responsible journalists and tata fanbase has always supported tatas iconic products but i don't think tata has done justice to all these efforts tata products are not comparable with global brands products there are a lot of issues and the biggest reason for tatas ignorence is tata group's size itself in 90s mahindra knew that if they don't invest in engine technologies and if they don't improve their quality then they won't servive and then mahindra engines and there platforms improved a lot i am not saying that mahindra has no issues but what I am trying to say is even if tata motors starts to struggle tata group is always there to save them they never feel that they need to improve there engine quality and reliability and they never feel that there products quality and service should be world class today's safari is also struggling in the market it has a lot of issues we all know about that and sales won't improve until tata takes responsibility and takes some serious actions. I feel so bad for tata fanbase 😔

the old classic safari was more appealing and was all that the fortuner is today huge road presence the 2.2 engine was done in collaboration with avl of austria....same for the scorpio and xuv 500......this was a remarkable engine.....better than the previous dicor and initial safari engine......but now the fiat sourced engine which does duty on the safari and harrier are in league of its own....NVH and refinement have gone much better.....say whatever the mitsubishi pajero is still hard to beat it has super select 4x4 and go anywhere capability which all safari did not have as standard also pajero has road presence and street cred even today it commands attention....nice to see 👍

[@ShivrohitVanagondi]

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?

[@mageshmac4716]

For a large family of seven.. you need to check between Crysta, Hycross and Carens for proper 7 seats + luggage space. Safari too is proper 7 seater but no bootspace and has rooftop luggage space only which makes it look weird.. Xuv700, ScorpioN are not 7seaters as they have namesake 3rd row which even kids cannot sit on for such a long journeys, and no space for luggage too..

[@philhaokip4037]

Rachit loves only Mahindra vehicles

The fabulous product tata has made comes with it's own set of flaws. The service center jokes aren't just jokes. Part of them is real too. They have just begun making feature rich cars. It is admittable that we should cut them some slack but at the same time they need to work on their aftersales too, which they aren't doing for a while now.

[@ShauryaRajput1939]

Today’s safari is just a 7 seater version of Harrier. In fact, before its official launch, it was advertised as a 7 seater harrier in the news. At the last, Tata group simply encashed the tag line of Safari to bluff the customer. The actual safari is nothing like today’s safari.

First of all the car shown in the video is not the iconic tata car. Thats the safari that used to be every teenagers dream car. Lets be honest nobody is interested in this car. Tata may call it the safari but its rather harrier 7 seater nothing more. Tata feeling the heat in suv segement and this is a oaid for promotion video. Mahindra has knocked the bolts out of Tata in the suv game. Tata could have won everything if they got sierra in ICE right now but they have opted for electric sierra. Tata is now a hatchback / soft suv manufacturer and thats a pity Tata bring back the icons - sumo safari seirra. Every Indian car lover wants that but Tata sees mass numbers only and the passion in no longer there.
