What exactly do you mean by off-roading? Serious off-roading is a different ball-game and does not come with a cushy ride. You'll for sure feel the bumps and jerks when you do off-roading. Just to feel the difference ride a merc on the dust track and then drive a off roading SUV. You shall then feel the difference.

And if you really want to do offroading, opt for the 4x4 version of Safari. Black is the king of colours and looks great on Safari. You can go for the basic model of the 4x4. Accessories are all after marke tfittings and can be done from outside as well.

Yes, with 140 BHP at your disposal I think you should go for the model that comes with ABS.

After reading so many posts, I had high hopes on its off-road(gravel) capabilities. In some posts, I even read that we can't feel speed-breakers in it.

But, this was disappointing. It was more less the same as that of Innova.

It would be really thankful if you all can help me join your Safari club.

Thanks,
