Which Tata Safari variant should you buy?
There are 14 ways to buy a Safari, across 6 trims, from ₹13.40L to ₹26.76L ex-showroom Delhi.
Pound for pound the ladder pays best at Adventure X+: ₹1.26L more than Pure X, and it is the step that hands back the most kit for the money.
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.
How this is worked out: every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.

Not every rung above is a straight upgrade. One step on this ladder either cost nothing extra or hand equipment back in exchange for a different powertrain, so it is left out of the value ranking rather than dressed up as a step up.
Where the kit that matters lands
- Airbags: all 6 are standard from the base Smart, so nobody has to spend up for them.
- Safety kit: Accomplished X, from ₹20.84L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best. Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.
- Automatic: the cheapest is the Pure X Turbo Petrol AT at ₹17.91L. See it
Then there is the engine
Picking the trim is only half of it. The Safari is sold with 2 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.

- How many Tata Safari variants are there, and what do they cost?
- 14 variants across 6 trims, from ₹13.40L for the Smart Turbo Petrol MT to ₹26.76L for the Accomplished Ultra Diesel AT, ex-showroom Delhi.
- Which Tata Safari variant gives the most for the money?
- Moving up to Adventure X+ costs ₹1.26L over Pure X and buys more per rupee than any other step on the ladder: 360° camera, front parking sensors, level 2 (13 features) ADAS and wheel size (18" against 17"), and 8 more.
- Is the Accomplished X+ worth it?
- It asks the most per feature of any step above the best-value one: ₹4.61L over Accomplished X for touchscreen (12.3" against 10.25"). Worth it if you specifically want that kit, hard to justify otherwise.
