                      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 Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.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

                        Skoda Kylaq

                        • Fun! 1-litre TSI engine is fun to push hard and puts a smile on your face.
                        • Practical. Ample space for four 6-footers. Cabin storage is very well thought out too.
                        • 446-litre boot space is more than sufficient for 4 cabin-sized trolley bags.
                        • Enough features: sunroof, ventilated and powered front seats, 10.1-inch touchscreen.
                      • 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

                        Skoda Kylaq

                        • No diesel or CNG options available.
                        • 1-litre turbo petrol engine can be very thirsty in heavy city traffic. Expect 10kmpl at best.
                        • Minor annoyances: poor camera quality, noisy seat ventilation blowers spoil the experience.
