The new Tata Safari Storme SUV will come with 4x4 gearbox, which lacks in XUV 500. In addition to this, the SUV has been built on a body-on-ladder frame, which is pretty different as far as the construction is concerned when being compared to the Mahindra XUV 500’s monocoque body. Besides  the strong structure and superb off road capability, 2012 Tata Safari Storme will be blessed with 2.2 litre of DICOR common rail turbo diesel motor churning out 140 BHP of peak power and 320 Nm of maximum torque.
