Tata Safari Mileage
₹13.40 Lakh to ₹26.91 Lakhex-showroom
The Safari diesel is rated 16.3 kmpl with the manual and 14.1 kmpl with the automatic, the torque converter costing some economy. Tata has not published a figure for the 1.5 litre turbo petrol, so its rating is unconfirmed. A seven seat SUV uses more fuel when fully loaded, and city traffic with the air conditioning on lowers the number further. To match figures to trims, line up the Safari variants.
