Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra Thar

Attention grabbing design. Looks macho and has stronger road presence than ever before.
Available with petrol and diesel engines with a choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions for both.
Design better suited for off-roading than before. Big improvements in departure angle, breakover angle and ground clearance.
More tech: Brake based differential locking system, auto locking rear mechanical differential, shift-on-the-fly 4x4 with low range, 7-inch touchscreen with off-road gauges, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and navigation
Good quality interior with better practicality than before. The Thar is now more family friendly.
Improved noise vibration and harshness management. Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.
More configurations: Fixed soft top, fixed hardtop or convertible soft top, available as a 6- or 4- seater

Mahindra XUV400 EV

Claimed range of 456km is impressive and higher than its main rival, the Tata Nexon EV Max
Promises top-notch quality and driving fun like the XUV300 but with more size, space and practicality
Features: Drive modes, touchscreen infotainment with OTA, sunroof and more
Performance: 0-100kmph in just 8.3 seconds!
Based on a global NCAP 5-star crash safety rated platform

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, pedal box leaves no proper space to rest your left foot even in the automatic 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

Mahindra XUV400 EV

Copper contrast panels may not be to everyone’s taste, especially if you prefer subtle styling
