"The Safari's performance is adequate for its intended family SUV role. The 2.0L diesel engine provides good torque delivery and sufficient power for highway cruising, but refinement remains a concern. The automatic transmission is smooth and well-calibrated, making it easy to drive in city conditions."

"The Safari demonstrates strong safety credentials with 5-star Global NCAP ratings and comprehensive ADAS features. The platform's inherent strength from Land Rover heritage provides confidence, though some ADAS features like automatic emergency braking could be more sensitive."

"The Safari shows adequate quality for its price segment with some premium touches, but inconsistent execution in fit and finish. Materials are generally good but some areas show cost-cutting measures typical of the mainstream segment."

"The Safari facelift successfully establishes its own design identity distinct from the Harrier. The exterior updates provide strong road presence while interior design feels contemporary and premium for the segment."

"The Safari excels in passenger space, particularly for the third row which is genuinely usable for adults - a key differentiator in the segment. However, cargo space with all rows up is limited, requiring compromise between passenger and luggage capacity."

"The Safari's infotainment system is well-executed with responsive touchscreen, comprehensive connectivity options, and good audio quality. The wireless charging implementation could be improved for better accessibility."
