Looking to buy new vehicle. major requirement i have , 1. Fuel Efficiency 2 Safety Please advise

Asked by: Punnamchander An

If fuel efficiency and safety are your top priorities, consider compact or midsize vehicles with high mileage ratings and top safety scores from agencies like Global NCAP or IIHS. Look for models with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), strong crash test ratings, and efficient powertrains like hybrid or modern turbo-petrol engines.

Asked by: hareesh hi team, currently we own a Marazzo and planning to change it for another 7 seater vehicle . 7 are adults and we have shortlisted safari pure plus AT . There is confusion due to the reliability issues with tata. could you please provide your feedback on this purchase of tata and also provide another alternate option as well for a proper 7 seater suv ? Monthly average 10 k km and budget is < 30 L . Tata Safari is a great 7-seater SUV. Tata has been originally known had a bad reputation for reliability but over the years they have strategically improved the quality and reliability of the cars. We would also suggest that you can also consider Toyota Innova Crysta as a good option. You can also check other 7-seater SUV cars here: https://staging.autocarindia.com/cars/7-seater-cars-in-india

These models also come with modern features, improved safety, and a noticeable upgrade in road presence and cabin space.
