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.
Tata Safari
- Design: Muscular styling is attractive and special Black Editions command great road presence
- Premium interior design: Touch-sensitive AC panel, ambient lighting and different finishes feel rich
- Feature loaded: 14.5” Samsung OLED touchscreen, 10.25” driver’s display, front and rear seat ventilation, 10-speaker JBL sound system
- Second row: Boss mode, slide and recline second row and winged headrests make for a great chauffeur driven car
- Powertrain options: Petrol and diesel engine options with manual and automatic transmissions

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.
Tata Safari
- No all-wheel-drive option available
- Refinement: Diesel engine is loud, needs better insulation
- Quality control: Inconsistent panel gaps and tech package tends to glitch from time to time
