There is a new engine, it’s the 2.2
litre engine borrowed from Aria
that gives it an extra 10 bhp at 148
bhp and 320 nm of peak torque.
The engine feels quite responsive
and punchy than before, especially
when on the highway. The turbo
lag has reduced significantly. You
will have less of a struggle with
the new steering wheel as it feel
quite precise and easy to grip.
The high seating position for
the driver ensures to get a good
view of the road. The new Storme
does not have any changes to
the suspension. The ride quality
continues to be great with the
SUV showing that it can drive over
bad roads with aplomb aided with
high ground clearance. Prices for
the new Safari Storme start at Rs.
9.99 lakh (ex showroom Delhi).

The face-lifted Tata Safari Storme can
be considered as a value for money SUV.
The performance of the vehicle is as
usual superb. The SUV is well equipped to
negotiate in the Indian road conditions. The
rough and tough look of the SUV makes it
the Machismo vehicle. Having a Tata Safari
Storme facelift will be a proud to be owned.
