₹14,07,940 to ₹33,22,488 on the road

Where that range comes from

Every price in the table is ex-showroom, the figure before road tax, registration and the rest of it. Road tax is set by the state you register in rather than by the maker, so what you actually hand over moves with where you live.

The two ends of that range differ in two ways at once: the bottom is the cheapest variant in the state that taxes it least, and the top is the dearest variant in the state that taxes it most.

Hold the variant still and only the geography moves: the Smart Turbo Petrol MT comes to ₹14,07,940 in Itanagar and ₹16,21,598 in Bengaluru, a difference of ₹2,13,658 on the identical car. You register where you live, so read that as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as somewhere cheaper to buy.

Comprehensive own-damage cover sits on top of all of it. That has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer and your no-claim bonus, so budget for it from real quotes rather than from any number here.

Not sure which Safari to buy?

Our pick: Adventure X+best value for money

The verdict in words

There are 14 ways to buy a Safari, across 6 trims, from ₹13.40L to ₹26.76L ex-showroom Delhi.

Rupee for rupee the ladder pays best at Adventure X+: ₹1.26L more than Pure X, and no variant you pay extra for hands back more kit per rupee on the price list.

Above that, the one to think hardest about is Accomplished X+. At ₹4.61L over Accomplished X it asks the most per feature of anything higher up the range, so take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.

Why there is no overall score

Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.
