However, with all the good additions, the makers have still stuck to a bit of cost-cutting. One can notice that the quality used is much improved, compared with the one used on the earlier Safari models.
The cushion seats and under-thigh support is comfortable. The Safari Storme sports large doors, which have ample storage space to even hold bottles. Besides, the view you get, irrespective of the place you sit within the car, is very appreciating. Once in the driver’s seat, one feels like being in the commanding position. Taking a cue from Tata Motors’ HORIZONEXT strategy, the new three-spoke Tata signature steering wheel looks very smart with audio control mounted on it.

Talking about the other features, the vehicle now gets a new infotainment system powered by Harman, which features an LCD screen, with Bluetooth connectivity, iPod-in, USB-in and AUX-in, along with a CD and AM-FM player. The seats too look slightly different with the contrast stitching.
Once you are in cockpit, you will uncover many new surprises like the Java black colour theme, highlighted by silver accents on the dashboard and door handles. It is the price you pay for incredible ground clearance.Īnd, how about the incredible ground clearance of 200 mm. Seriously, one has to climb the SUV to enter the car. Hold on! Stretch your legs before you attempt to step inside. Previously, it was mounted on the back door. Tata Motors has placed the spare wheel beneath the car which is a good move, and assists in seamless parking. One cannot miss the huge wheel arches, 15-inch five spoke alloy wheels. The Varicor 400 badge looks very attractive. The other changes include a new diamond motif with ‘Storme’ in black on the silver cladding of the vehicle’s hood, while the SUV’s roof rail too is revised. The eagle-eyed headlamps also get lots of attention. This feature adds good value to the car’s looks. One of the few changes as seen is the honey comb grill in Charcoal Grey and Ocean Grey, which takes inspiration from the Land Rover. Honestly, however, it is not easy to spot changes on the outside, compared with the older version. Wait a minute! You may end up saying, “This is the biggest SUV, I have ever seen,” thanks to its massive 4,655 mm length, and eye-catching 1,965 mm width (with footsteps). But with the new additions to the exterior stance, the car is big. When we first set eyes on the new Safari Storme, it retains the same elegant tall-body appearance, posing like a beast. So, when we behold the new Tata Safari Storme, it is to be seen if the new vehicle is able to keep apace with its legacy, and test if it will succeed in winning the hearts of Safari loyalists again. But a chunk of that following has jumped sides, and moved to the competitors’ stables. No doubt, the Tata Safari has enjoyed a loyal fan following over the years, thanks to its masculinity and a match-winning engine power. Despite the new looks, a point must be kept in mind that the Safari is a rather dated concept, and it is to be seen if India’s first SUV would keep up with a changing and demanding customer taste. Trusting the same storm it had created more than a decade ago, the legendary Indian brand has rendered a facelift to the new Safari Storme, which has constantly evolved catering to varied requirements of the country’s car buyers. Somewhere in the race, homegrown Tata Motors seems to have lagged behind, and is trying hard to garner some market share on the back of the Safari.Īfter several setbacks, Tata Motors is back in business. In the following years, SUVs have come to rule the country’s roads, and leading car manufacturers have sensed the customer vibe, and mastered the knack of perfecting SUVs. The concept of a sports utility vehicle, which is a rage today, was very nascent those days, and the Safari was one of the fancy machines to watch out for. When Tata launched its premium SUV, Safari, in India, over 15 years ago, it created a storm in the minds of the buyers here, who were captivated with its robust, large stance, and a roaring engine.
