This beast’s updated statistics are more about better drivability, rather than outright kick-in-the-butt performance. For those of you expecting a shove in the back that gets some viscous liquid called adrenaline flowing through your bodily channels, you’re in for a disappointment. This Safari is all about the added muscle and so I shoved the go-faster from the moment the anchors were dropped. In the morning, we found acres of sound dampening hardware plastered against the inner side of the hood, settling our bewilderment. Nothing shook or moved as the vehicle idled, its muted, agricultural beat a mere hair line scratch against the stainless silence of the winter night air, far out of town. Turn the key and the big, lumbering diesel motor fires up, with an uncanny sense of refinement that the big Tata never bestowed us with. The carmaker also claims that the NVH levels have been significantly reduced, which we can vouch for. Tata Motors is claiming a 0 – 100 km/hr sprint time of less than 13 seconds for the Safari Storme equipped with the new engine.

Further, there are changes to the chassis to accommodate the new manual transmission, along with a new engine cover. This is in addition to the recent change to the timing belt system (for all VARICOR engines) which enhanced its service life to 150,000 km. The cylinder block, cylinder head, injectors, pistons, main bearings and turbocharger have been upgraded to deliver the additional performance of the 2.2L VARICOR 400. That’s 6 BHP & a substantial 80 Nm of torque more than the regular Storme.

Right then, the new engine update sees the 2.2-litre, 4-cylinder, diesel sipping mill output 154 BHP 4,000 rpm, and as the name suggests, 400 Nm of torque 1,750 – 2,500 rpm. We stood there, till an errant, stray dog barked himself hoarse and shooed us out.

Contiuing unplanned, we drove back towards Bhandardara, spectacular during the day, but even the stars and the full moon couldn’t do justice to the beauteous lake in the dead of night. Stopping by the giant windmills on a fully moon lit night, and heaving to the massive blades chopping through the air, we tasted wanderlust with the big Tata. Starting from Mumabi, we showed the city light lights of Nasik the slab, armoured sides of the Safari as we careened right towards Igatpuri. We took the big Tata far out of town on an all-night drive that lasted for exactly 500 Km. Also the gearlever has an extra etching that ends with the numeral 6 – more on that later. It works, but the audio and visual effects that come with reversing the vehicle are equivalent to chirpy video games from the last era. That pint sized display also shows feed from the reverse parking sensors that come standard with the Varicor 400. There’s a small TFT display on the system’s matte aluminum finished interface a far cry from the touch screen interfaces that we’re spoiled with these days.

Audio quality of the new system is definitely better, but still not a patch on the Zica’s 8-speaker system. I mean, it looks good and all, but finding the same steering everywhere is getting on my nerves now. Maybe they should pay their designers an extra buck, and get different steering designs for every vehicle. The controls for the system are mounted on the new multifunction steering wheel, which has been used way too often Tata has abused it. The VARICOR 400 version’s insides continue unchanged, apart from a new, integrated, CONNECTNEXT system with 6-speaker surround sound by Harman. The seats are supremely comfortable and large, while the…if you’re here to read about the boring stuff, then head here for exhaustive reports – 2015 Tata Safari Storme 4×4 Review : Seasoned Warrior It’s one of the few passenger vehicles in the country which offers a full view of the bonnet’s whereabouts, making the leviathan negotiate space crunches like a cruise liner through busy waters. The tall seating position, the commanding view of the road is all a part of the Safari package that I quite happen to like. Move around the sides, and there’s a new Varicor 400 badge on the flanks.Ĭlimb inside, and the hall like interiors exude a familiar charm. It’s also as fake as Kim Kardashian’s bottom. If you’re especially nutty, there’s also a hood scoop on offer, which must’ve been designed by a kid starting his days with Rhino 3D. Oh, and if you’re in the mood, you can also specify a Tata branded, translucent bonnet guard that’ll ultimately become a exhibit that showcases dead leaves. Nothing, apart from a set of LED daytime running lamps engraved in the front bumper, which is also optional, we hear.
