Volkswagen Jetta vs Tata Safari Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The Volkswagen Jetta starts at ₹14.78 L and the Tata Safari at ₹13.29 L, a difference of ₹1.49 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹1.65 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Mileage and running cost: The Volkswagen Jetta Diesel/Petrol Automatic/Manual is rated at 16.96 kmpl,14.69 kmpl and the Tata Safari Diesel/Petrol Automatic/Manual at 14.1 kmpl,16.8 kmpl. At 1,000 km a month, the Volkswagen Jetta saves you about ₹1.08 K a month and ₹12.92 K a year on fuel.

What one gives that the other does not: The Volkswagen Jetta adds Brake Assist, Power Door Locks, Child Safety Locks, Passenger Side Rear View Mirror and Xenon Headlamps. The Tata Safari adds Anti-Theft Alarm, No. of Airbags, Curtain Airbag, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the Tata Safari if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹1.49 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Volkswagen Jetta if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Volkswagen Jetta offers Brake Assist.

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
