                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 Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.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

                  Tata Safari

                  • Improved design makes a bolder statement.
                  • Premium interior design and experience.
                  • Ample space for adults in all rows.
                  • Feature loaded: 12.3” touchscreen, 10.25” driver’s display, seat ventilation, JBL sound system, and more
                • 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

                  Tata Safari

                  • No petrol engine option, or all-wheel-drive option
                  • Diesel engine could be more refined
