Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra Thar
- Attention grabbing design. Looks macho and has a strong road presence
- Available with petrol and diesel engines with a choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions for both.
- More tech: Brake based differential locking system, auto locking rear mechanical differential, shift-on-the-fly 4x4 with low range, 10.25-inch touchscreen with off-road gauges, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and navigation
- Improved noise vibration and harshness management offers a more refined experience
Tata Altroz
- Sharp looking - the redesigned grille, flush-fitting door handles, and connected tail lights give it a clean and modern look.
- Great rear seat experience - raised under thigh support and ample legroom offers great space for two average sized adults.
- Feature rich - 10.25-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, and an electric sunroof make it a well-equipped hatchback.
- No compromise safety - 6 standard airbags, 360-degree camera, and an already established 5-star safety rating makes it a safe option.
- Only diesel engine option in the segment makes it more appealing to buyers who prioritize fuel efficiency.

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 and thick B pillars create large blind spots to the side
- Not an alternative to family-friendly sub-compact/compact SUVs that are more comfortable, practical, spacious and feature-loaded
Tata Altroz
- Fit and finish - many panel gaps on the outside and some flimsy elements inside break the cabin quality’s consistency.
- No diesel automatic option on sale and the diesel is limited to the one-below-top variant.
- Petrol engine gets too noisy under load and has more vibrations than expected.
- Turbo-petrol engine not offered with the facelifted version.
