Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra Bolero
- Looks rugged: Its boxy proportions and muscular design elements can be recognised from a distance
- Capable enough: The rear-wheel-drive setup and a torque-y diesel engine allows it to challenge rough terrains
- Powerful AC cools the cabin very quickly
Mahindra Thar OG
- Classic ‘Jeep’ looks, butch and square stance turns heads.
- Powerful 2.0-litre turbo petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engine options. Great for highway trips while smooth for city driving too.
- Electronic locking differential, terrain modes and new suspension setup improve off-road capability and ride comfort.

Mahindra Bolero
- Bare bones: Except for a small touchscreen, it does not get any premium features
- Bumpy ride: Being a ladder-on-frame SUV, the ride quality comes with a lot of body roll
Mahindra Thar OG
- Cramped rear seat access and space. Best for occasional use only.
- No automatic option with 1.5-litre diesel engine. Limits choice for city drivers.
- Missing features: Auto dimming IRVM, 360 degree camera, wireless Apple CarPlay.
- 6 airbags not part of standard equipment.
