Pros and 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

Attention grabbing design. Looks macho and has stronger road presence than ever before.
Available with petrol and diesel engines with a choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions for both.
Design better suited for off-roading than before. Big improvements in departure angle, breakover angle and ground clearance.
More tech: Brake based differential locking system, auto locking rear mechanical differential, shift-on-the-fly 4x4 with low range, 7-inch touchscreen with off-road gauges, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay & navigation
Good quality interior with better practicality than before. The Thar is now more family friendly.
Improved noise vibration and harshness management. Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.
More configurations: Fixed soft top, fixed hardtop or convertible soft top, available as a 6- or 4- seater

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

Stiff ride quality. Deals with bad roads well but sharp bumps can unsettle the cabin quite easily
Old school ladder frame SUV and behaves like one. Loads of body roll even on mild curves
Some cabin flaws: Rear windows aren’t openable, pedal box leaves no proper space to rest your left foot even in the automatic & thick B pillars create large blind spots to the side
It’s a heavily improved/polished version of a hardcore off-roader but not an alternative to more practical, comfortable, feature rich compact/sub compact SUVs
