                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 Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.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

                  Maruti Ciaz

                  • Space. A genuine 5-seater sedan; gobbles up the family happily
                  • Fuel efficiency. Mild-hybrid tech on petrol ensures the wallet remains fat
                  • Well-equipped lower variants. You don’t really have to buy the top-spec for a premium experience
                  • Value for money. Aggressive pricing undercuts most of its competition
                • 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

                  Maruti Ciaz

                  • Misses out on a few good to have features such as a sunroof, six airbags, etc
                  • Automatic is an old 4-speed torque converter.
