Tata Safari 2.2 VTT DICOR EX/GX or Mahindra Scorpio mHawk VLX

Hi everybody

I'm planning 2 buy a SUV in a couple of months (Budget 8-10.5L).
Can anybody help me decide which one is better between the two.

Thanx in adv

can you just give me price of both the SUV..mostly i would recommend you Mhawk of Mahindra

Hi Sunidhi
Tata Safari costs 895000 and 991000 for EX and GX models respectively (ex showroom and 2wd)
Mahindra mHawk VLX costs 930000 ex showroom

As per my view, if you want to go for something more refined, with responsive performance and latest enhancement then go for Mhawk, its very good. However, if you want to go for some Class, which Safari has been able to maintain entry level SUV section then Safari is best. However, as said, Scorpio Mhawk is more refined than Safari.

Neverthless to say, very soon new model of Safari is about to come, I am not sure about date but first or second quarter of 2010, however will be better than current Safari. Can be worth to wait.

Thx Ricky
My main concern is the maintenance of the vehicle. I went thru an article which said it costs 6000-8000 per month to maintain safari. Can u give some adv on that.

That is ridiculous, even on full service of new Safari you won't be spending that amount. But it is true that there is little more wear and tear in Safari as it lacks refinement (but you won't face any such until you buy a new vehicle) or I feel TATA don't work accordingly on customer / mechanic feedback.

Above all, if you take care of you vehicle / car properly then it will never hog your pockets. Major problem arises only out of ignorance.

Thanx Ricky

Do share your views about your new SUV.

And congratulation in Advance for you new Vehicle.

thnx Ricky
Can u tell me how to look and confirm the date of manufacturing of the above mentioned vehicles.?
Regards

I've owned 3 safaris till date...

No comparision...Comfort is world class.
Space is more than Scorpio...so is thet Image impression!

You can see Scorpio in TAXI, but never for Safari.

but maintainance is through the roof!!

If you manage to harm the suspension (Which will problably happen on terrible indian roads) prepare to spend around 25k.

thnx Bhvm
That was quite informative.
R there any new models of Safari in the pipeline?

A complete overhaul is coming probably next year. It will carry on the same base body, but re-designed front nose, Bumper and headlights.
Maybe new tail lights too.

That maintenance cost thing you read in the article is Slightly exaggerated, but reality is still close.
