The body does not shake along and the engine only gets quieter as the car puts on more miles. The NVM levels are much lower - almost a muted murmur both inside and outside. Once the car fires, all the similarities end and the differences start. Thus, a normal ignition is as enjoyable as having babies the normal way compared to some laboratory assisted method. This car is only likely to be drive by people who never trade off their blue jeans, while shirts and leather boots with anything garishly fashionable. Those who miss a push button start/stop button are likely to be people who also love to wear bright colour polo shirts from a brand whose logo is a horse riding sport which you are unlikely to play and match that with pastel colour pants and something called boat shoes with white bottoms. Of course I will not forgive Tata Motors for giving me halogens in the low beam either.ĭrive - insert the new chunky and folding contemporary key, depress the clutch and fire the engine. You even get a charging point next to the jumper seat at the rear.While the finish and fitment of this interior is admirable, the only two things I wish they did were - put back the reserving camera and LCD screen into the reserving mirror and probably looked into the rather sharp feeling edge of the horn button which wraps behind the steering wheel but sometimes in long drives if you get fidgety, you are likely to touch this slightly rough surface in an otherwise smooth interior. The aircon is quite silent and the econ mode is helpful to keep your guilt under check.

The driver seat has very helpful heoght adjust controls and the rear AC is quite nicely integrated unlike the past where it looked force-fitted. The thoughtful touches are that the music auto mutes while reversing and in rains, the rear wiper also goes on automatically. The reserving set up sadly does not have a camera but has sensors. The front windshield is where you miss the top green tinting sadly because this glass is the size of a hoarding.

It also accepts your mom's oldies hindi music or bhajan CD and interfaces with your apple or android device seamlessly. The knobs and stalks in the car are much better and the Harman connectnext system is very very refined. The steering probably borrowed from the tiago is super fun with all the communication controls. The doors feel more refined while shutting like a vault. The puddle lights are on all 4 doors and have an approach warning light too. The lights have also switched from simple H4 to a more contemporary H7 set up with projector lens on the low beam module - however I wish they had put 6000 kelvin LEDs on the low beam module rather than halogens.

I somehow found the former a bit more useful. In reality this is an ego massage factor and quite likely when you drive a car this size, you wont really need to peer into a screen.īells and whistles - If i continue to compare this car to the older dicor, the top variant of the old car came with follow me home lights, Those have given way to approach lights. Grudges if any should be that a touch screen on the console that people are so used to is missing. The colour scheme is tricky - looks black in bright day light and a bit coffee brown in warm light or under an overcast sky. Switches are from a much different world as compared to the old car and the complete absence of both beige finishes or fake wood is a joy as you loo around and see some dull aluminium and textured coffee black all around. Everything feels purpose built to balance handling with ergonomics. The best part of the dicor which was its layout remains unchanged in the storme and the worst part which was industrial plastics have now given way to a 360 degree change soft touch materials be it the java black plastic and some fabrics here and there. Interiors - good move not to reinvent the wheel here. The only grudge that old safari owners would have in their new car is missing the rear mounted spare wheel and the lipping of the front bumper which is not wide enough for you to mount your off road lights. The stepper are also better designed for rear passengers.

The bonnet is a lot more straight and chunky and the front and rear light finishing are tight and appropriately sized instead of being mile long plastic finishes. The cladding around is a bit more butch and compliments the relatively squared off front and rear treatment that actually look more contemporary.

Exteriors - in a world where the exteriors change to give the perception of an all new car, this has been a most non pretentious upgrade where the shell remains the same albeit now put together much better.
