Here is a video showcasing the water-wading capabilities of the Tata Safari. Being a tough SUV, a lot of the customers expect such strength and off-roading capabilities from the SUV even though it has a 4×2 drive system. The weather of monsoon brings with it flooded streets in various parts of our country. This video is recorded by a YouTuber who lives in Gurgoan. The water in his locality is well around 1.5-2 feet in depth. The sedans parked around the Safari owner’s house are almost submerged in water up to tyre levels. But Safari, boasting of high ground clearance, is still able to drive well. The owner takes the Safari for a ride around the neighbourhood. The SUV complies without breaking a sweat.
