Author’s Note
The vlogger does a great job of highlighting the details of this model from the outside and inside. It is quite interesting to see that even the second-from-base model of the Safari comes with a lot of handy functions. People looking to save some bucks will be perfectly happy with this. In fact, it gets the same powertrain throughout the entire range. Hence, there will barely be any difference in driving dynamics.
