“The Blue Elephant” My Safari 4x4 Review & Mods
1. Having proper 4x4 with Transfercase and Low range.
2. Rear Axle is Dana 44 and has LSD to equalize the torque and prevent wheelspin.
3. Auto Dimming rear view mirror along with Rear view camera (Removed in Storme! )
4. Heated ORVMs.
5. Having Really Manly looks with Spare wheel on the Tailgate !
6. Roof AC (4 vents) in addition to centrally located 2 vents in Middle row. Front AC design is such that air is blown into internal door ducts and vents are located on the doors ! Really thick manly doors.
7. Engine Immobilizer along with auto Door lock after engine crank (Autolock Seems more like a nuisance)
8. Most importantly, is the Irreplaceable Comfort and magic carpet ride which needs no introduction with the Safari.
Please note that these features are really common now a days but considering this vehicle was Launched in 2007 these were pretty unique and new.
XUV-
What “Special” Features Does Your Car Have?
In addition to above, There are a few things which seems to be removed or deemed outdated. Even on newer XUVs-
1. All 3 rows have charging 12v sockets
2. Roof lamps on all 3 Rows (removed since 2015)
3. DVD Player which can play videos, MP3 and VCDs
4. All Wheels on my car including the spare are a full size ALLOY and also support TPMS sensors which are programmable.
5. The muscular and tantalizing CHEETAH theme is slowly being removed (Teeth, Fangs, Claws, Tribal Logos) with each generation of cheetah.
