Hyundai Creta N Line vs Tata Safari: which should you buy?
The Tata Safari starts at ₹13.40L against the Hyundai Creta N Line's ₹19.03L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹5.63L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹19.95L, where the Creta N Line tops out. Past that only the Safari has anything left to sell you, up to ₹26.76L.
Only one of them takes the whole party: the Safari seats 7, the Creta N Line 5.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Creta N Line comes in petrol, the Safari in petrol and diesel.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.95L to both showrooms and you come out with the Creta N Line N10 at ₹19.95L or the Safari Adventure X+ at ₹19.35L, the Safari leaving ₹0.60L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.60L more for the Creta N Line N10: ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)), blind spot monitor and SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call). The useful extras on top: connected car tech and 8-way powered driver seat. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Tata Safari seats 7, worth knowing if you need the space
- Also on the Creta N Line N10: ventilated front seats, terrain modes, wired CarPlay / Android Auto and speakers (8 against 6), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Creta N Line N10, you give up headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector) and third-row AC vents, which the Safari Adventure X+ keeps
- Choose the Tata Safari Adventure X+ if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.60L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Creta N Line N10 if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
