Pros Cons of Tata Safari
Pros
- Solid Road Presence
- Spacious And Comfortable Cabin
- Well-Specced With A Host Of Features
Cons
- Heavy Weight Is Quite Noticeable In Traffic
- Automatic Gearbox Could Be More Responsive
- Infotainment System Feels Not The Most Reliable
Verdict
Like many Tata models the Safari also gets drive modes so you have City, Eco and Sport and yes there is perceptible difference between City and Sport for sure. But there is also a terrain response system a la Land Rover. Rough Road mode, Wet mode and then back to the default City drive mode.
Pros Cons of Maruti Suzuki XL6
Pros
- Affordability
- Comfortable Seats
- Improved Safety Kit
Cons
- No Diesel On Offer
- Lacks Outright Grunt
- 3Rd-Row Isn'T For Everyone
Verdict
The XL6 is a welcome addition to the Maruti Suzuki family. Could it have been better? Yes. But it is still a car I see plenty of families and individuals adopting. The pricing is fairly attractive sitting just a bit higher than the Ertiga's but with a good chunk of equipment as standard. It may not be as big as the Innova, and perhaps remains a tad lower on premiumness. But its ride quality and feature list, plus its styling and pricing will get people in to check out Nexa's first 3-row car.
