Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra Scorpio N
- Gets powerful turbo-petrol and diesel engines along with the option of four wheel drive.
- Looks rugged and has a commanding road presence.
- Offers good space for five people and their luggage.
- Its features list is a well-loaded balance of comfort, convenience and tech.
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 Scorpio N
- The third row is cramped with insufficient space for adults.
- Boot space is smaller than expected.
- Interior fit and finish should be better for the price.
- Ride quality isn’t as comfortable as its rivals. Stiff and bouncy especially with less load
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
