Which one is for you?
Now as stated the Safari here is comfortable, gets more features for convenience and safety. It has a bold new design and has a diesel engine that is more powerful than the Innova. The Innova on the other hand is also comfortable but seems to lack some of the new stuff that makes life more convenient in a car. But apart from some missing features the Toyota Innova is a solid car with a impressive resume in sales, service, build quality and maintenance. People have been using cars since more than 10 years in many cases and it is dependable. But in the recent times the car as mentioned above has gotten expensive.
Should you be paying almost 30 lakhs for one? Not really. Its a good choice if a mid-variant will suffice or else do try the Tata Safari.
