Tata Nexon EVvsTata Safari

Our AI verdict

It's a close call

These two Tatas serve very different needs, so the "winner" depends on your use case. The Safari is the choice for large families needing a 7-seat, turbo-petrol SUV with more power, space and highway range, while the Nexon EV suits city commuters wanting lower running costs, a modern touchscreen infotainment suite, and connected-car convenience at a lower ex-showroom price.

Tata Nexon EV

Creative Plus 30.0 kWh

₹11.63 - ₹17.89 Lakh

Ex-showroom price

Modern Touchscreen Infotainment
The Nexon EV gets a 7-inch touchscreen with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, voice command and Google Assistant, features entirely absent on the Safari (which has no infotainment screen at all).
Extensive Connected Car Suite
Remote AC control, remote lock/unlock, remote engine start/stop, geo-fencing, and OTA updates via app come standard on the Nexon EV, none of which the Safari offers.
Longer Warranty Coverage
Nexon EV backs its battery and motor with an 8-year/160,000km warranty, far exceeding the Safari's 3-year/100,000km vehicle warranty.

Why Nexon EV for you?

No fuel costs, cheaper running

Electric power means no petrol bills for daily short trips, and with 275km certified range it easily covers typical commute distances between home charging.

Easier to drive & park in traffic

Automatic transmission, compact 3995mm length, and tighter 5.3m turning radius make stop-go traffic and city parking far less tiring than the big manual-only Safari.

Better tech for daily use

Touchscreen infotainment, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth calls, and a connected app for remote AC and vehicle status add real convenience on daily runs.
