Planning To Buy The 2021 Tata Safari? Here Are Some Pros And Cons
If you're planning to buy the new Tata Safari, here are few pros and cons you should look at.
Highlights
- The 2021 Tata Safari was recently updated with new features.
- It is essentially a three-row derivative of the Tata Harrier.
- It misses out on petrol engine and all-wheel-drive (AWD) options.

At that time we also knew that those new features would make it to the standard Safari range eventually. In fact, just days ahead of the Mahindra XUV700's launch, the Tata Safari was updated with new creature comforts. If you're planning to buy the new Tata Safari, here are few pros and cons you should look at.
