Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Hyundai i20
- Looks like a youth friendly hatchback which never fails to grab attention
- Space: Can seat three people at the back in comfort
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, powered driver seat, ventilated front seats, and ADAS
- 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 i20
- Single NA petrol engine: No option of diesel and turbo-petrol limited to N Line version
- Stiff ride quality: Could be more comfortable for a family car
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
