Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra Bolero
- Tough built quality. Hard to damage.
- Built to take punishment.
- Ride quality soft to suit all road conditions.
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

Mahindra Bolero
- Noisy cabin
- Utilitarian layout
- Bare bone features
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
