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.
MG Hector
- Looks: Feels premium inside and out
- Space is great with generous room even for taller passengers
- Loaded with good features like a 14-inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof
- Strong safety kit with features like ADAS and 360-degree camera
- A refined petrol engine with comfortable ride quality

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.
MG Hector
- The big grille and chrome elements can be too blingy for some buyers
- No automatic transmission with the diesel engine
- Should have had better contoured seats and underthigh support at the rear
- Fuel efficiency of the petrol engine is still an issue
