Black Tata Safari seven seat SUV

The Tata Safari specifications describe a large, three row SUV made for distance. The 2.0 litre diesel makes 167.6 bhp and 350 Nm, strong enough to haul seven with ease. The 1.5 litre turbo petrol offers 168 bhp and 280 Nm for lighter duty. The diesel stays the choice for heavy, loaded touring.

Gearboxes on the Tata Safari specifications sheet include a six speed manual and a six speed automatic. The diesel manual returns 16.3 kmpl, while the diesel automatic reads 14.1 kmpl. Petrol economy is not yet published, so treat it as a guide. Loaded highway cruising suits the diesel best.

The Safari is longer and taller than the Harrier, at 4668 mm long and 1795 mm high. The 2741 mm wheelbase frees space for that extra row of seats. Boot room measures 420 litres behind the third row, and grows a lot with the rear seats folded flat. The extra length over the Harrier all goes into passenger and cargo space.

Ground clearance of 205 mm keeps the underbody safe on rough tracks. Seven seats come as standard, with six seat captain chair layouts higher up the range. The 50 litre tank supports long family touring between stops, and the wide body aids stability. Third row access is easy through the wide rear doors, and the tall roof adds head room.

Safety runs strong, with several airbags and electronic aids across the range. Higher trims add a camera suite and driver assistance features. To match a layout and engine to your budget, see Safari prices across the range before deciding.

Tata Safari power and torque explained

The Safari gives you two engines, and both make 170 PS but reach it in very different ways. One is a 2.0 litre diesel with 350 Nm, the other a newer 1.5 litre turbo petrol with 280 Nm.

The diesel piles on its torque early and stays effortless, so it feels strong without working hard. The petrol holds back its full power for higher revs, so it feels liveliest when you push on.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 1.5L Hyperion Turbo GDi Petrol spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 2.0 litre diesel puts out a big 350 Nm, and it lands early at 1750 rpm and holds to 2500 rpm. Full power of 170 PS comes at 3750 rpm, a wide 2000 rpm span above the torque peak. That means it pulls hard from low revs and stays relaxed, even with seven people aboard. It suits long highway trips, heavy loads and easy overtakes, and if you drive far each month the distance it covers on a litre will win you over.

The 1.5 litre turbo petrol makes 280 Nm, and that peak spreads from 1750 rpm right up to 3500 rpm. Its 170 PS arrives higher up at 5000 rpm, a broad 3250 rpm above the torque peak, so it feels keenest when you rev it. Around town the broad torque keeps it easy, but on the highway you get the best from it by holding the revs. Pick it if most of your driving is city and short trips, and you want a lower price and a lighter, eager feel. For the bigger picture, what the Safari is like to live with covers space, comfort and features.
