Hyundai Alcazar vs Tata Safari: which should you buy?
The Tata Safari starts at ₹13.40L against the Hyundai Alcazar's ₹14.51L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.11L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹21.10L, where the Alcazar tops out. Past that only the Safari has anything left to sell you, up to ₹26.76L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹21.10L to both showrooms and you come out with the Alcazar Signature (Diesel) at ₹21.10L or the Safari Adventure X+ at ₹20.85L, the Safari leaving ₹0.25L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.25L more for the Alcazar Signature (Diesel): ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)), blind spot monitor and ventilated front seats. The useful extras on top: hill descent control and connected car tech. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Safari swallows the most luggage at 420 litres
- The Safari Adventure X+ is the strongest of the two at 170 PS
- Also on the Alcazar Signature (Diesel): second-row captain seats, rear ventilated seats, 8-way powered driver seat and terrain modes, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Alcazar Signature (Diesel), you give up tyre pressure monitor, panoramic sunroof and headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector), which the Safari Adventure X+ keeps
- Choose the Tata Safari Adventure X+ if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.25L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Alcazar Signature (Diesel) if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
