                Pros & Cons

                • Pros
                • Cons
                • Jeep Meridian

                  • Looks Premium
                  • Offers fantastic ride comfort
                  • Easy and effortless to drive in the city
                  • Loaded with premium features

                  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 and 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 Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.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 Meridian

                  • Narrow cabin width
                  • Noisy diesel engine
                  • Third row space not adequate for adults

                  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 and 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
