Mahindra Thar
Mahindra XUV700
- 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 & 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
- Not a fun to drive SUV
- Petrol engine gives effortless power, but not exciting
- Some quality issue in the cabin
- Strange missing features like auto-dimming IRVM
- Boot space behind 3rd row
