Dimensions

If it comes to the presence and road presence of SUVs, Tata Safari makes a clear edge here. Safari, with a length of 4,668mm, is longer than Hyundai Alcazar, although the MG Hector Plus and XUV 7XO are slightly longer than this.

Safari becomes the largest SUV of this segment in terms of width and height. A width of 1,922mm and a height of 1,795mm give it a strong and muscular look on the road. The Alcazar seems to be the slimest SUV here, while the Hector Plus and XUV 7XO take the path between.

Talking about wheelbase, Safari’s figure is a bit low, but the difference between the four SUVs is not so much that cabin space has a big impact. Large 19-inch wheels are offered in both Safari and XUV 7XO, giving them a more premium look.

Engine

The competition becomes more interesting here when it comes to petrol engines. Tata Safari, Hyundai Alcazar and MG Hector Plus – All three get 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engines. At the same time, the XUV 7XO offers a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine, adopting the most different route here.

If you look at the power figures, the XUV 7XO goes to the forefront. Torque of 203hp and 380Nm makes it a performance-focused family SUV. However, not every buyer needs so much strength.

Tata Safari proves itself to be the strongest in the 1.5-liter segment. With 170hp and 280Nm it is more powerful than the Hyundai Alcazar and surpasses the MG Hector Plus. This means clear — Safari petrol is not only smooth, but also gives more confidence in overtaking and highway drives.
