However, this Safari had a major chink its armour and that was its powertrain, which was a straight pick from the Tata 407 commercial vehicle. It also came with a new 3.0-litre DICOR powertrain sourced from Mercedes-Benz that developed 116PS and 300Nm. The interior was all-new and was a big jump from the first-gen’s utilitarian cabin. Here’s the list of cities where you can avail a discount on the Safari.įast forward to 2005 and the Safari got its first major update with revamped styling. Tata is offering a discount of up to Rs 50,000 depending on the city and it only has the EX 4x2 variant in stock, which is priced at Rs 13.35 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The manufacturer is flushing away its existing stocks and dealers have been asked to stop accepting bookings for the SUV. Sadly, the next generation of auto buffs may not get to experience that feeling as Tata Motors has decided to pull the plug on the Safari Storme. Truth to be told, it made me feel like a hero. I also remember my chauffeur navigating the streets like a boss, with everyone either ceding way for the honk or looking at it with awe. Perched above all other cars on the road, it was a surreal feeling. I still remember the day I sat in the Tata Safari for the first time.
