What it costs to run
Fuel only — change any figure to your ownPrices are Delhi's, read 2026-11-04. Fuel duty is set per state, so they are the state's figure rather than Delhi's.
| Variant | km/l | Fuel, a year |
|---|---|---|
| Smart 1.5 Turbo Petrol MT· no certified figure | — | |
| Smart 2.0 Diesel MT· no certified figure | — |
Fuel only. It does not price servicing, insurance, tyres or what the Tata Safari is worth when you sell it — a diesel usually costs more to maintain, and we publish no figure for that rather than estimate one. 2 of these variants have no certified efficiency, so type your own to see a cost.

Tata Safari powertrains: common questions

- On the Tata Safari, does changing powertrain change the equipment?

What this car's data leaves out
Left out: the six-seat versions, because a seven-seater exists at the same trim.
Data notes — where these figures come from
1.5 Hyperion turbo petrol and 2.0 Kryotec diesel, each in manual and automatic, across Smart, Pure X, Adventure X+, Accomplished X, Accomplished X+ and Accomplished Ultra. Six-seat versions are left out, as everywhere else on this site, because a seven-seater exists at the same trim. The #DARK, Red #DARK and Stealth editions are appearance packs and are treated as paint. Two brochure qualifications are kept: paddle shifters are marked "(AT)", and the adaptive cruise control inside the ADAS suite is AT-only, so neither is credited to a manual. Under-credited deliberately: the TPMS at Accomplished X is unqualified and our registry prices direct per-wheel sensors; the Ergo Lux powered driver's seat is given no axis count, so it sits at the four-way tier rather than the eight-way one; and the headlamps are counted once, as LED projectors. Tata publishes no certified efficiency in this brochure, so none is stored. No certified fuel-efficiency figure is stored for this car's powertrains. Tata's own model page publishes none either (checked 26 Sept 2026). WIRELESS ANDROID AUTO (9 Oct 2026): Tata's brochure (safari-master-brochure.pdf, June 2026) lists 'Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay' under Pure X, features over Smart, inherited by every persona above. 12 OCT 2026, re-read against Tata's June 2026 safari-master-brochure.pdf ('Accomplished Ultra Update'), persona walk p.~30: Accomplished X+ ('Features Over Accomplished X') adds Front LED Fog Lamps with Cornering Function, Front Parking Sensors and Hill Descent Control, all inherited by Accomplished Ultra — none had been credited (the Harrier, its sibling, had the same gap). And one OVER-credit removed: the X+ walk's '2nd Row Ventilated Captain Seats' carries the footnote '^In 6 Seater only'. We model the seven-seater, so ventilated rear seats are no longer credited on Accomplished X+ or Ultra.
