The 3rd row remains unchanged with opposite facing jump seats.Īlso Read: Hyundai Tucson – Review, Price, Specifications Tata Safari Storme 400 Ride and Handling The rear seats are even more comfortable than your captain seats with ample cushioning and acres of legroom. These seats gives you the comfort like no other and only reminds you of the comfortable sofa chairs that your grandpa used to sit on.īoth driver and co passenger seats get armrest and the armrest at the rear is alike a huge pillow. The Safari’s forte has always been its seats. On the bright side the Tata Safari Storme comes with Harman system speakers which is exceptionally good and is way above a lot of vehicles in a much higher price bracket. It high time TATA ups its infotainment system. Sadly the centre console still houses a A/C and not a climate control and still does not get a touch screen. The Dash gets an all black treatment and Tata calls it Java Black. The dials are same but now with silver cladding and have switched sides. The steering finally gets steering mounted controls in the Tata Safari Storme. Hopefully this problem is solved.Īlso Read: Mahindra XUV500 – Review, Price, Features Tata Safari Storme 400 Interiors Tata says they had to remove it as there used to be loads of complains in the previous models that the door used to squeak due to the weight the wheel. Honestly, I really miss the wheel at the back. The tyre of the Tata Safari Storme is now is underneath at the rear. ![]() The door is flat and now misses out on the wheel that used to complement the SUV look. The wrap around lights are still small and are connected by a fat chrome strip that houses the TATA badging. ![]() The side cladding too is now flat instead of round and flows similarly into the rear. The bonnet is now flat as compared to the curvy, chubby one on the older vehicle. At the base there is a thin chrome strip and so also at the top which has a really thick chrome strip with the STORME badging. The grill now is sleek and has a honeycomb design which is in two levels. Not many vehicles can claim to be helping you “reclaim you life” for that long. Being in its 3rd generation is an achievement. Lets just say it went from being a bodybuilding champion to a heavyweight MMA fighter, it even got a reduction in weight. The Tata Safari Storme is still the monster it was but Tata has tried to make the curvy edges more sharp and sleep. The gearbox on the Tata Safari Storme 400 also seemed smoother than the five-speed one.Īlso Read: Toyota Innova Crysta Price and Review What we didn’t like is the placement of the reverse gear, which is just next to the sixth cog and takes a little getting used to, for shifting. The sixth gear helps during cruising and keeps the engine spinning just below the 2000rpm mark at a speed of 100 km/h, which means the Tata Safari Storme 400 runs in a more relaxed manner. We feel the Safari Storme always wanted it and now the vehicle feels more complete. The six-speed gearbox is also a welcome addition in the Tata Safari Storme 400. It also seems a little quieter than the regular Safari Storme. It is heavier and thus a bit sluggish initially. The mid-range now has a very good punch which was always desired in the Safari, especially the 4X4 version. However, out on the open road, the Tata Safari Storme 400 behaves quite differently and the surge in torque is very evident. The change in performance is not noticeable initially. The second upgrade is the introduction of a new six-speed transmission. The torque has now been increased to along with an increase in power which is now, up from 148bhp. The Tata Safari Storme 400 gets two major upgrades. ![]() This is quite a substantial increase from the same 2.2-litre Varicor engine and we were eager to try out this beast.Īlso Read: Tata Hexa Price And Features Tata Safari Storme 400 Engine The ‘400’ suffix is an indicator of the increased torque of 400Nm, which was earlier 320Nm. Tata has been upgrading its product line up and the Tata Safari Storme 400 has now got another shot in the arm, called the Safari Storme 400. Tata Safari Storme 400 Specifications Specifications Today the 2.2 Litre Varicor engine is just effortless and feels more car like. I remember the 1st engine a 1.9 litre diesel which at that point was not even a turbo charged one with the over 2600 kg weight used to struggle to move this mammoth. Times have changed but so has the quality and technology. You could buy the Safari at one point at INR 8 lakhs. From a price of 12 lacs + to almost 19 lakhs the price is not cheap. With 4 variants Tata prefers to keep it simple. ![]()
