Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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
- Proven reliability and good service network
- Rugged Traditional SUV looks
- Drives and handles better than before
- Good ride over bad roads

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
Mahindra Scorpio
- Interior quality and poor fit and finish
- Short Features List
- No Automatic or 4x4 option anymore
