Hello, Madurai families and professionals! This is your friendly Tata dealer from Kaveri Tata here, and we know exactly what’s on your mind as you plan those long-awaited drives out of the city—be it a pilgrimage to Palani or a weekend escape to Courtallam. The big question is: Safari or Harrier, and how much safer is the new ADAS technology?
We’ve welcomed countless customers into our Tata showroom Madurai who are looking for the perfect blend of performance, luxury, and, most importantly, safety. Both the new Tata Safari and the Tata Harrier now come equipped with advanced Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). Trust me, this isn’t just a gimmick; it’s a game-changer for highway driving.
Safety on the Open Road: The ADAS Advantage
When you’re cruising on the national highway, distraction and fatigue are the biggest threats. That’s where ADAS acts as your co-pilot. Both the Safari and Harrier share the same critical safety suite on their top-end variants:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): This is fantastic! Instead of constantly adjusting your speed, the system maintains a set distance from the car ahead, even in moderate traffic. On the Madurai-Chennai highway, this reduces driver fatigue dramatically.
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW) & Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): If the system senses a potential collision and you don’t react, it brakes for you. It’s peace of mind, especially when an unexpected obstacle appears.
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW) & Lane Keep Assist (LKA): It gently guides you back into your lane if you drift unintentionally. Perfect for maintaining focus on those early morning drives.
The Showdown: Since the technology is shared, the safety difference on paper is minimal. However, the Safari’s larger size and commanding view provide a psychological edge and a more planted feel at high speeds, while the Harrier feels slightly more agile when maneuvering.
Comfort & Practicality: Beyond the Safety Specs
Here’s where your family size and style really make the decision:
- The Tata Harrier: The 5-seater specialist. If your family is limited to five or fewer, the Harrier offers a more spacious and dedicated cabin for those five occupants, plus a larger, dedicated boot space for all your road trip luggage.
- The Tata Safari: The 7-seater champion. With 6-seater captain seat options or a flexible 7-seater configuration, the Safari is essential for larger families or when traveling with extended relatives.
The key takeaway is that both SUVs are now among the safest vehicles in India, boasting 5-star GNCAP ratings. Your choice is purely down to your seating requirement!
Making the Right Decision with Kaveri Tata
Whether you lean towards the bold stance of the Harrier or the majestic presence of the Safari, making the purchase is easy at our Tata showroom Madurai. Our team at Kaveri Tata can walk you through the ADAS features and give you a detailed breakdown of the financials.
The Tata Harrier price starts competitively for the base models, offering tremendous value for an SUV of its class and feature set. The Tata Safari price naturally commands a slightly higher bracket due to its increased size and 7-seater versatility.
