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 Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.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.
