| ![]() I was near pandit automobiles[pune city] and spotted a safari with a 2.1 badge.I heard the engine only,did not get a test drive but it felt as refined as the d4d innova.But definitely felt like a diesel.Otherwise looks exactly like the older safari no change at all,pics wont be of any help. I could not get any details unfortunately.I can do so only on monday/tuesday.If anybody stays near pandit automobiles in Pune city,they could kindly check up.I would only be free on monday and will check up myself only on monday/tuesday. But with all the talk of 2.2 L engine am wondering where this 2.1 has now come up? |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() IIRC the Petrol Safari was badged as a 2.1 I think you saw that & of course that also explains the low NVH. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() The 2.1 is the petrol safari. Drifter |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() It's the petrol, but pretty close anyway. The 2.2 Dicor will use the same block and probably the same bore as well. |

| ![]() While we are at it, can anyone confirm if the 2.1 was detuned lately? Emissions/FE perhaps? Also, till date, I have only seen around five Safari Petrols. One of them was, surprisingly, a Taxi. And another one I see quite regularly is a silver one, driven by a woman. (Must be someone returning from the USofA, otherwise who buys a petrol SUV? :P ). |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() I too saw one 2.1 Safari. Had a badge near the C pillar which said 16V. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Looks like it was indeed a petrol Safari. Thread Closed |
