- Safari always came with side cladding that gave it an off-road SUV look.

Tata Safari Storme Interiors (2012-2019)
- Now in my opinion Tata Safari Storme interior was
- But less high-tech as compared to Mahindra Scorpio.
- Now the Interior of the safari was stylized Java Black interior with Silver Accents.
- But you don’t get and touchscreen infotainment system just like Scorpio.
- But apart from that Safari Storme was available with CONNECT NEXT infotainment system.
- And a new Multi-function steering wheel with Call and Audio buttons.
- Now talking about seats they are of fabric with a good amount of legroom and headroom.
- And my favorite thing is its commanding driving position that gives you a good view all around.
- Taking about safety Safari Storme has a dual airbag for the driver and passenger.
- Apart from that Tata Safari Storme has a larger window that gives you a good view of the outside.
- And all four windows are powered & buttons are placed on the driver’s door.
- My verdict interior quality of the safari is average and this model is discontinued.
- Now in 2021, you will get a new Second generation safari loaded with features.
