Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Hyundai Venue
- Feature-packed. Sunroof, Bose audio system, seat ventilation — everything that larger SUVs have.
- Great infotainment experience: twin 12.3-inch screens have crisp graphics and zero lag. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is offered.
- Multiple engine options: petrol, turbo-petrol, diesel — take your pick.
- Automatic transmission available with both petrol and diesel engine options. More choice for city commuters.
- Strong safety package: 6 airbags, 360° camera, electronic stability control, Level 2 ADAS and more.
Mahindra Thar
- Attention grabbing design. Looks macho and has a strong road presence
- Available with petrol and diesel engines with a choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions for both.
- More tech: Brake based differential locking system, auto locking rear mechanical differential, shift-on-the-fly 4x4 with low range, 10.25-inch touchscreen with off-road gauges, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and navigation
- Improved noise vibration and harshness management offers a more refined experience

Hyundai Venue
- Top-end variants are quite expensive. Larger SUVs are available for the price.
- Non-turbo petrol engine could have been offered with a CVT for budget buyers.
- Fuel efficiency of turbo-petrol engine in heavy city traffic is quite low. Expect 7-10kmpl.
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 and thick B pillars create large blind spots to the side
- Not an alternative to family-friendly sub-compact/compact SUVs that are more comfortable, practical, spacious and feature-loaded
