Tata Safari Owner Drives Jeep Compass
The Safari owner sits inside the Compass and there are quite a few striking features that he notices straight away. The all-black interior gives a feeling of lack of space but the usage of premium materials like chrome strip and aluminium at various places brightens up the outlook a bit. He mentions that the infotainment touchscreen and digital instrument cluster display and user interface is quite sleek and responsive. In this aspect, the Safari seems to be lacking a bit. The sense of space inside the cabin is a bit less due to the sheer size of the SUV and the black interior theme. The boot compartment is a bit smaller too.
Drive Comparison
When the Safari owner drives the Compass, he feels a similar behaviour in terms of the powertrain as both these SUVs come powered by a Fiat-sourced diesel engine. However, he notices that the steering of the Compass is much lighter which is ideal for city usage. The Compass owner mentions that it gets a bit heavier as one picks up speed. The turning radius of the Compass is lesser compared to the Safari and the 360-degree camera eases the parking and reversing aspects significantly. The city mode in the Compass is a bit more sporty and responsive, whereas the Sport mode in the Safari lends an enthusiastic vibe.
