The Tata Safari is a big, imposing three-row SUV that mixes real road presence with a comfortable, family-friendly cabin. It’s a six- or seven-seater powered by a strong 2.0-litre diesel, with a turbo-petrol added to the latest range, driving the front wheels through a manual or an automatic. Safety is a real strength, with up to seven airbags, a Level 2 ADAS suite and a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating. Prices run from around ₹13.4 lakh to ₹26.8 lakh (ex-showroom), and it competes with the Mahindra XUV700, Mahindra Scorpio-N and MG Hector Plus.
The gallery below takes you around the Safari inside and out, so you can get a good sense of it before deciding. And a well-kept used one on Spinny costs noticeably less than a new car.

Tata Safari Interior Images
Inside, the Safari feels genuinely upmarket, with a wide, airy cabin, soft-touch surfaces and a long list of features on the higher trims.
Dashboard and layout:
The dashboard has a large touchscreen, up to a 12.3-inch unit, along with a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a panoramic sunroof and dual-zone climate control.
Seats and space:
There’s a choice of a six-seater with captain chairs or a seven-seater with a bench, and the front and mid-row seats get ventilation on the higher trims. Space and comfort across the first two rows are excellent.
Boot space:
With all three rows up the boot is 420 litres, which is decent, and it expands significantly with the third row folded for holiday loads.
Key touchpoints:
Look for ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof with mood lighting, a powered driver’s seat with memory, a JBL sound system and a 360-degree camera on the higher trims.
Where a listing includes a 360° interior view, it’s worth using to check the seats, dashboard and controls on that specific car.
