Tata safari
The Tata Safari is an SUV produced by Tata Motors of India. It is the first SUV to be designed, developed and manufactured "entirely" in India.

First Generation Tata safari

The SUV was first released in 1998 with a 2.0 litre Turbo Diesel engine. Launched in 1998 in Turbo Diesel form, the Safari had 87 PS (64 kW) power. It came with a synchromesh forward five-speed gearbox, with a 4X4 option. However, it was regarded to be grossly underpowered, and had a lot of body roll. The new Tata Safari DiCOR (DiCOR standing for "Direct Injection Common Rail engine") is powered by a 3000 cc inline-four cylinder engine that develops 116 PS (85 kW) at 3000 rpm and 300 Nm (221 ftlbf) of torque between 1600 and 2000 rpm. The engine is taken from the Tata 407, a truck manufactured by Tata Motors. The new engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox, with a new, sporty gear lever.

In October 2007 Tata unveiled the 2.2-litre Safari DiCOR which had an increased power output of 143 PS (105 KW). But it was shortly replaced by the more advanced DiCOR 2.2 VTT (Variable Turbine Technology) engine which had a power output of 140 PS (103 kW) at 4000 rpm and a torque output of 320 Nm (236 ftlbf) at 1700 rpm.

Page 29

Winter Training

LIMITATAION
People Dont want to share their Views as a lack of time . Sometimes these big cars are drive by Owner Driver so this is one kind of limitation. Another problem is that they dont want to disclose their Address, mobile no and even salary. As time was very less for this Survey. Even in Service Centre Number of cars come over their were very less for service.
