Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda City
- Spacious cabin. Rear seat kneeroom rivals cars from a segment above.
- Best in segment interior quality
- Comfortable ride quality
- Updated exterior makes it more tempting
- ADAS standard in multiple variants
Mahindra Thar ROXX
- Old-school boxy SUV styling grabs attention and has more road presence than similarly priced SUVs
- Both engines options deliver punchy performance and good driveability even with a full passenger load
- Rich features list: Panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon audio, ADAS and more
- 5/5 start safety rating from Bharat NCAP. Base model is strong on safety too
- Very capable off-road. 4x4 option gives you absolute freedom to explore but even the rear-wheel drive is very capable

Honda City
- Lacks some ‘wow’ features like ventilated seats, powered driver seat, branded stereo
- Diesel motor is now discontinued
- Tight rear seat headroom
Mahindra Thar ROXX
- Ride quality is not as comfortable as cars like the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara or Skoda Kushaq. Bad roads can toss occupants around, especially in the rear seat
- Petrol engine is high on performance but also high on fuel consumption
- No 4x4 petrol option
