Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Hyundai Exter
- Rugged SUV-like looks
- High seating and tall windows offer good driving confidence
- Excellent feature list with exclusives like a dashcam and sunroof
- Effortless drive experience with the AMT
- 6 airbags are offered as standard
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

Hyundai Exter
- Looks are polarising
- Drive lacks excitement and a turbo-petrol engine option
- Safety rating remains to be seen
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
