Tata Launches Safari GX variant!

Tata Motors has expanded its Safari DICOR 2.2 range with the addition of a new Gx variant. The current Safari DICOR range comprises three variants: Lx, Ex and Vx. The Gx, with several high-end comfort and safety features, has been positioned below Vx, the top end variant. The new variant offers enhanced value to the Safari customer at an attractive price point below the top end variant.
Safari Gx has been offered with dual-tone exteriors in select shades, a first for the Safari range. Interiors of the Safari Gx sport a unique leather-cum-fabric upholstery. Two sought after features of Vx have been offered on the Gx: the reverse guide system to aid the driver while reversing and ABS with EBD. Safari was the first vehicle in the country to offer the reverse guide system using a camera in the rear bumper and the internal rear view mirror as the screen. Another new feature is indicators on the outer rear view mirrors. This feature will be extended to other variants of Safari also. Alloy wheels are standard on the Gx on both the 4×2 and 4×4 versions.
Safari Gx has been launched at a price of Rs9.95 lakhs (ex showroom Delhi) for the 4×2 version and 10.87lakhs (ex showroom Delhi) for the 4×4 version. The price of the Safari DICOR range starts at Rs7.67 lakhs (ex showroom Delhi). :)

Safari is a great car, as far as there is no worry about service or resale. I guess that this new model will draw more buyers.

Safari has got a killer looks & TATA's best car ever!

This move from TATA really makes Safari Owners more proud & Happy :)

This is good news for those who wanted feature loaded safari at compaitively low price tag.

good move to give buyers some goodies along with the best looking car from tata.

Yes, also, I heard that new Safari will be out by next year. :)

Thanks vibhor dear for the information. The press did not give this fact a good coverage.Tata is upgrading and filling in the gap areas with gizmos at par with the competition.

Welcome anjan, Here is the link to official site of Tata safari GX -

this is cause of the demand in export for tata in safari, so the company is eying to give a class superior product replacing its age old safari with a all new suv in new plattform and with more power and safety features like foreign players.

What do you guys think - Safari v/s Scorpio ?

i think you cannot compare these two vehicles with each has their own selective buyers, still to say scorpio has of the best mHawk engine and safari gives that 4x4 edge with subjective looks, still i believe features are more gathered on scorpio then safari still each are best in their segment with respective buyers.
More to say safari would cater more for offroading then scorpio which is more easy on city traffic driven conditions with better turning raduis.

Scorpio for city and Safari for highways. Scorpio is more reliable than Safari.

@vijay, Safari has more features than Scorpio.

Yeh... both of you are correct and I too share your views. Only concerning factor is resale value of Safari!

Safari is a superb S.U.V but i wish Tata can do something about its quality and reliability issues....
Coz i dont want anyone else to be stranded in the middle of nowhere just like we were, when our Safari's Intercooler fan failed and Smoked the engine!!!!!

Hey Aviral Tyagi, nice to see a Safari owner! In fact I love it like anything.Unfortunately it happen to be under TATA badging and service. Just imagine what will be the story if it is from M&M or MSIL ! Safari is feature rich, however lacks good quality plastics and finish. Let's hope that TATA will address all the concerns in 2010 Safari. Hope changing the inter cooler fan didn't cost you so much? Guys am I going ?

Exactly shynishm..
Well it stopped working because one if its blades broke and got stuck in the shaft!!!!
Repair was not that expensive.

well offtopic but i went to get my cars alinment checked and there was this safari very badly used and bashed, the mechanic said though it being a superb product one should buy scorpio at this point of time mainly of reliability issues from TATA, though i love safari anyday.

Same with me too...
Although its unreliable but there is something in that car which makes me like it a lot.

I'm with you buddy. I guess its the looks and charm that gives a strong liking for the beast.
