टाटा सफारी Storme Not As Contemporary As एक्सयूवी500

Safari is the name which has been bread and butter of Tata Motors for a long time. The Safari Storme is the latest and the best iteration till date with solid body-on-frame construction and strong road presence. I recently had an opportunity to drive my friend?s Safari Storme which he recently purchased. And though the car has excellent drivability and super refinement levels, I felt there were several misses which should have been there in an Rs. 15 lakh car. I was really surprised that the car misses on goodies like multi-information display, automatic climate control, touchscreen infotainment and navigation and even reverse parking camera. These features can be seen even in a car with half the price and it is really a disappointment. In my opinion, today XUV500 is more sophisticated and accomplished as compared to Safari Storme. Just for the sake of identity at least I cannot spend this amount of money on an SUV. And the above mentioned are some of the reasons why the sales of this car are dwindling with each passing day. However, for off-roading enthusiasts, these features do not matter and this car is one of the best when it comes to road presence, practicality and ride quality. But even it is for occasional drives, the car, in my opinion, should have ample creature comfort features to keep its position strong in the market. Tata has to do something serious for Safari Storme at least in terms of features as the last update was back in 2015. Visually too, the body style is the same old and steadily showing its age. So, in my opinion, this car has the potential to tap Mahindra XUV500, all it need is best in class comfort features and stylish design.
