Tata motors have domineered the Indian automobile market for over three decades now and don’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. Their latest addition comes in the form of XMS and XMAS variants to their flagship SUV, the Tata Safari.

Falling under a price range of 17.9 Lakhs to 19.3 Lakhs, the XMS and XMAS derive heavily from the XM and XMA variants launched last year. However, the increased price of the new variants clearly indicates new features added to the massive machine.

If you are in the market for a new powerful car for the family, the Tata Safari XMS and XMAS could be options worth considering.

From extensive coverage from damages or loss arising due to natural calamities, theft, accidents, and fires, our third-party car insurance can be the one-stop solution for your new machine on wheels.

Difference between XMAS and XMS variants

The XMAS and XMS are essentially the same cars with different transmissions. The XMAS is the automatic variant, whereas the XMS is ideal for drivers preferring manual controls. The automatic transmission sees the XMAS variant is priced slightly higher than its manual counterpart.

New Features

Right off the bat, the panoramic sunroof is the most significant addition to the Tata Safari XMS and XMAS models. The one-touch sunroof offers the same visibility to all passengers in the car, making it perfect for long and scenic rides. The smart sunroof is adept at detecting rain and closing, protecting the passengers and the seats.

Keeping up with the increasingly prevalent technology in the automobile industry, Tata has also introduced Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity in the new Safari variants. Users can now mirror their Android or iOS devices to the car’s in-built entertainment system. While the earlier variants also had a 7-inch infotainment setup, including features such as Android Auto offers a whole range of previously unavailable functions.

Another noteworthy change in the infotainment system is the addition of two tweeters in the sound system. This development improves the treble in the car’s audio system. Although a minor upgrade, the increased treble will improve sounds having a higher frequency.

Speaking of technology, Tata has also added a range of neat new features that make the overall driving experience a lot more comfortable. Rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlamps and electrically foldable rear-view mirrors have been included in the new Tata Safari XMS and XMAS. The availability of such high-end features makes the Safari XMS and XMAS a true vehicle of the modern era.

Is it Worth Buying?

The Safari has been one of the primary SUVs on Indian roads since 1988. With each new model and variant, Tata has ensured that its flagship SUV has become more desirable. The new XMS and XMAS Safari variants offer impressive updates in-car technology and comfort.

For a decently priced SUV, the Tata Safari has the potential to meet all your needs. The 2.0-litre turbocharged engine provides 170hp, making it one of the most powerful machines roaring on the road.

If you are looking for power with a touch of comfort, class, and a sunroof, the Safari XMS, and XMAS versions are ideal choices. However, if a sunroof isn’t on your priority list, you can save yourself a few lakhs by opting for the older XM and XMA models.

What’s Next for the Tata Safari

Over the past few years, Tata has been pretty consistent in releasing new variants of their SUVs, especially the Safari. While better versions of the vehicle, like the XZA+ offer almost luxury car-like features, there is one domain Tata is yet to cover with the Safari. Reports show that Tata is set to release the new Tata Safari EV, an all-electric car variant, next year.

With EV versions of Tata Nexon and Harrier already in the market, Safari was the only SUV to have an electric variant. However, with the introduction of an electric variant, the Safari will become the complete SUV, ready to dominate the roads once again.
