The 2021 Safari is a big SUV and you notice that when driving through narrow roads or parking it. The current generation models are even bigger when it comes to size. The diesel engine has good pulling power and works well when the car is carrying more passengers. Automatic is easier in traffic while the manual gives you more control over the gears. There is good space in the first two rows. The third row can take adults as well, but the luggage room becomes quite small when all the seats are being used.

Verdict
Tata Safari gives you a lot of space and the diesel engine has enough power for a car this size. The six-seat model is worth looking at if second-row comfort is more important, while the seven-seat version gives you one extra seat. Boot space is quite limited with the third row up and the Safari can feel big in crowded areas. Since these cars are now a few years old, service history and the condition of the diesel engine, gearbox, electronics and sunroof should be checked properly before buying one.
Who should buy a Tata Safari
If you need three rows of seats and want a diesel SUV, Safari is one of the options available in the used market. There is enough room for a family, and the higher variants have useful features such as a panoramic sunroof, a powered driver's seat and a JBL audio system. You also have manual and automatic choices. A well-maintained example makes more sense than simply choosing the highest variant, so check how the previous owner has maintained the car before buying.
