Pros and Cons

Pros
Cons

Jeep Compass

Looks more premium
Gets an all-new, modern-looking cabin
Big update to the infotainment with two 10-inch screens
Lots of added features to aid convenience

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 Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.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

Jeep Compass

Prices expected to go further up
No major changes to the exterior

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
