2. Safety

Government regulations that require car manufacturers to provide sufficient safety features are a crucial step in reducing casualties in accidents and improving road safety. Airbags are one of the fundamental safety features that have become standard in many vehicles. These regulations and safety standards help protect occupants in the event of a collision and save lives.

Global NCAP stands for “Global New Car Assessment Program.” It is an international organization that conducts independent crash safety testing and assessment of vehicles to evaluate their safety performance. Global NCAP works to promote and advocate for safer vehicles worldwide, especially in emerging markets where vehicle safety standards may not be as stringent.

Below are some details of Global NCAP rating for both the cars.

4 Stars for Child Safety: A 4-star child safety rating implies that the vehicle offers a good level of protection for child passengers. This rating considers the effectiveness of child safety seats and restraints in the vehicle and how well they protect children in different scenarios.

It’s important to note that safety ratings can vary depending on the specific testing organization and the criteria they use for evaluation. Always check the source of the safety rating and the specific tests conducted to understand what aspects of safety are being assessed.

In any case, a vehicle with these safety ratings is generally considered to be a safe choice for both adult and child passengers, and it indicates that the manufacturer has made efforts to prioritize safety in their vehicle design and engineering.

3. Comfort: Here Tata Safari facelift is better than XUV700

Below are the listed futures that only TATA SAFARI provides. These below futures make Tata Safari better in Comfort.

The gesture-controlled power tailgate :

This indeed a valuable and convenient feature in modern vehicles. It offers several advantages, making it easier to access the cargo area of your vehicle, especially when your hands are full or when you want to avoid direct contact with the tailgate. Here are some benefits of this feature:

• Hands-Free Operation: Gesture control allows you to open the tailgate without physically touching it. This is particularly useful when your hands are occupied with groceries, luggage, or other items.
• Hygiene and Cleanliness: In situations where your hands might be dirty or you want to avoid touching the tailgate for hygiene reasons (e.g., after handling dirty or greasy items), gesture control minimizes direct contact.
• Convenience: It enhances the convenience of loading and unloading items. You don’t need to put down what you’re carrying to open the tailgate, which can save time and effort.

Ventilated SEATS:

Ventilated seats, often referred to as “cooling seats” or “ventilation seats,” are a feature commonly found in modern vehicles. These seats are designed to improve comfort by actively cooling the seating surface, which can be especially beneficial during hot weather.

• Heat Dissipation: The primary purpose of ventilated seats is to disperse heat and humidity. They can help prevent the seat surface from becoming overly hot and sticky, which can be especially important in regions with hot climates.
• Comfort: Ventilated seats contribute to a more comfortable driving experience, reducing the discomfort of sitting in a hot car, particularly when the vehicle has been parked in the sun.
• Sweat Reduction: By promoting air circulation, ventilated seats can help reduce sweating and the discomfort associated with wet clothing.
• Long-Distance Driving: For long road trips, ventilated seats can be especially beneficial, helping to keep the driver and passengers comfortable for extended periods.
• Health Benefits: In addition to comfort, keeping the body cooler can help prevent issues related to excessive heat exposure, such as heat exhaustion or dehydration.
• Resale Value: Vehicles equipped with premium features like ventilated seats may have better resale value because they offer added comfort and convenience.

Electrically adjustable Co-passEnger seat.

Electrically adjustable driver and co-passenger seats are a desirable feature in many modern vehicles. These seats can be adjusted with the push of a button or through a control panel, allowing the driver and front passenger to find their optimal seating position easily.

Co-Passenger Comfort: Electrically adjustable co-passenger seats offer the same level of comfort and customization for the front passenger, ensuring both occupants enjoy their journey.

In Mahindra XUV700 only driver seat is electrically adjustable. Co-passenger has to adjust it manually.

 Second row captain seat.

Ventilated captain seats in the second row of a vehicle like the Tata Safari provide a luxurious and comfortable experience for passengers. Here are some advantages of having ventilated captain seats in the second row, particularly for owners who may use a driver to drive the car.

• Enhanced Comfort: Ventilated captain seats offer an elevated level of comfort for passengers in the second row. The ventilation feature helps keep passengers cool and comfortable during long journeys, even in warm weather.
• Individualized Comfort: Each captain seat typically has its own controls, allowing passengers to adjust the cooling and seating position to their preferences. This individualized comfort is ideal for owners who prioritize a comfortable ride.
• Luxury and Prestige: Ventilated captain seats are often associated with luxury and prestige. They can elevate the overall feel and ambiance of the vehicle, contributing to a premium driving experience.
• Akin to the Driver’s Seat: By providing the same level of comfort and adjustment options as the driver’s seat, passengers in the second row can enjoy a similar experience, making it especially attractive for owners who want to provide a high level of comfort for themselves and their guests.
• Long-Distance Travel: Ventilated captain seats are perfect for owners who frequently engage in long-distance travel, as they offer relaxation and support, reducing the fatigue associated with extended drives.
