Pros & Cons

Safari Pros & Cons	Hector Plus Pros & Cons
Pros	More modern looks with the new LED DRLs and other design changes with the facelift 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	A spacious second row of seats with rear AC vents. The third row is decent for adult occupants. Separate AC controls and vents for third-row passengers. Absorbent ride, ideal for mile munching. Great road presence with the segment’s biggest infotainment screen.
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	Body roll is felt around corners. The suspension is tuned soft which makes ride quality floaty. Does not get automatic transmission in the diesel powertrain.
