  • It now offers more features such as 12-inch infotainment, dual-zone climate control, surround-view camera, and more
  • The safety features have been increased with ADAS level 2. The car now has up to 7 airbags and a 5-star GNCAP safety rating, among other improvements.
  • The inclusion of electric power steering improved the ride quality and handling.
  • The automatic transmission now comes with an e-Shifter to ensure smooth gearshifts
  • Big design gives a solid road presence
  • The Safari is the only SUV in the segment to offer rear-seat ventilation
  • Tata Safari now comes with a good level of NVH
  • It gives a proper SUV stance with its big dody and sharp body lines
  • The more blingy design gives it a new look after the facelift
  • It comes loaded with features. For example, it has a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It also has auto-turn indicators and projector LED headlamps. Plus, a panoramic sunroof, wireless connectivity, an electric tailgate, and an 8-speaker Infinity S
  • It offers many safety features. These include level-2 ADAS with a 360-camera, 6 airbags, all-4 disc brakes, front parking sensors, ESP, hill-hold assist, and a traction control system.
  • It is available in multiple seating options. The standard is a 5-seater. The Hector Plus is available in a 6- and 7-seater option.
  • Powerful turbo petrol and diesel engines are available. The diesel motor is torquey and fuel-efficient.
  • The Hector's interior has a premium appeal. It has leatherette seats, door trims, ambient lighting, and comfortable seating.
  • The interior is very spacious and the cabin can easily accommodate 5-adults
  • A smooth CVT gearbox is on offer
  • The 5-seater variant offers humongous boot space of 587 litres
Cons
  • The only available powertrain is diesel; there is no petrol or turbo-petrol engine.
  • The Safari does not come with a 4WD drivetrain while some competitors offer 4WD as an option
  • Occasionally, the infotainment software exhibits lag and may cease functioning
  • The dimensions remain mostly unchanged from the pre-facelift model. This leads to a cramped feel in the last row.
  • Tata's after-sales support falls short of expectations
  • The top models seem overpriced, reaching an on-road price approaching Rs 30 lakh
  • The chrome on the front grille is a bit over, and might not appeal to everyone
  • The touchscreen infotainment is smooth and crisp but not driver-friendly
  • The touchscreen integrates the AC controls. It takes a bit of effort to control aircon settings while driving.
  • The diesel engine comes with a manual transmission only. There is no option for a diesel automatic variant.
  • ADAS is available in petrol variants only
  • The turbo petrol motor is not much fuel efficient which can be a bummer in city traffic
  • The substantial size of the body accentuates the body roll within the cabin
  • In the Plus variants, the third row is confined and is best suited for children
