Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra Thar OG
- Classic ‘Jeep’ looks, butch and square stance turns heads.
- Powerful 2.0-litre turbo petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engine options. Great for highway trips while smooth for city driving too.
- Electronic locking differential, terrain modes and new suspension setup improve off-road capability and ride comfort.
Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
- Comfortable 7-seater family car with usable space and practicality in all rows.
- Ride quality is comfortable over imperfections and regular speedbreakers.
- Available with a CNG: barely any difference in performance within city limits.

Mahindra Thar OG
- Cramped rear seat access and space. Best for occasional use only.
- No automatic option with 1.5-litre diesel engine. Limits choice for city drivers.
- Missing features: Auto dimming IRVM, 360 degree camera, wireless Apple CarPlay.
- 6 airbags not part of standard equipment.
Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
- No diesel engine options: would’ve been great for efficient highway runs.
- Boot space: Strictly limited to a couple of mid-sized suitcases with all three rows up.
- No tumble and fold function for the second row: would’ve made third row ingress-egress easier.
