Let's approach this from two distinct angles. Does the Safari offer enough I to be Tata's flagship? Unlike its predecessor, this version boasts a plethora of features to pamper you, eye-catching styling that captivates your attention and capabilities that give its competitors a tough challenge. These enhancements aren't mere bullet points on a brochure; they are tastefully executed, enhancing the Safari's ownership experience.
Take, for instance, the lighting elements. The front headlamps proudly display the Safari badge, and the connected DRL welcomes you with a cool illumination every time you unlock this massive SUV.
Stepping inside, you're greeted by a cabin that feels modern and classy, adorned with high-quality screens, soft-touch materials reminiscent of designer furniture, although some plastic edges could be better finished.
While a significant leap, does it truly justify the flagship title? Tata could have done more to dispel these lingering doubts.
