Performance and driveability
The original Safari was a genuine body-on-frame 4WD SUV — a true off-roader built for Indian terrain. Its diesel motor gave it good torque for cross-country drives.
Interior and features
Spartan interior by modern standards but roomy enough for 8 with optional third-row seating. Later variants added touchscreen infotainment and electric mirrors.
Who should buy
A collector's and enthusiast's item. The original Safari has a devoted fan base. Not recommended as a daily driver — the modern Safari 2021 is the better choice.
