                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.
                • 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
                  • 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
