What the Smart Diesel MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Smart Diesel MT comes to ₹15,75,208 on the road in Itanagar and ₹18,11,878 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,36,670 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹14.85L ex-showroom this is the second of 72 Safari variants by price, ₹1.45L above the Smart Turbo Petrol MT. The same Smart features start at ₹1.45L less as the Smart Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed manual. Stepping up to Pure X from here starts at ₹2.00L more and buys tyre pressure monitor and rear parking camera among 7 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Diesel with the 6-speed manual, the Pure X starts at ₹17.95L.

Tata Safari Smart: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Tata Safari Smart Diesel MT?
- ₹14.85L, ex-showroom. That makes it 2nd of 72 by price, ₹1.45L above the Smart Turbo Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Tata Safari Smart Diesel MT?
- Expect ₹15,75,208 in Itanagar and ₹18,11,878 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,36,670 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Tata Safari Smart Diesel MT have?
- The Diesel, 170 PS, with the 6-speed manual.
- What features does the Tata Safari Smart Diesel MT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Wired CarPlay / Android Auto, Airbags (6), Electronic stability control, All-wheel disc brakes, ISOFIX child seat anchorages and Headlamps (Bi-LED projector).
- What does the Tata Safari Smart Diesel MT miss out on?
- The Pure X above it adds tyre pressure monitor, rear parking camera, wheel type (Alloy against Steel), touchscreen (10.25" against 7") and 3 more, for ₹2.00L more. That is the cheapest way into the Pure X though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹3.10L more.
- Is the Smart the right Safari to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Tata Safari which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
