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 Sierra
- Smashing design! Looks larger than it actually is and has great road presence.
- Petrol and diesel engine options, both with manual and automatic.
- Spacious interior: rear seat space is sufficient for 6ft tall occupants.
- Loaded with features: panoramic sunroof, 360° camera, dual-zone climate control and more.
- Superior infotainment experience: triple-screen layout, 12-speaker JBL audio system with Dolby Atmos makes it a theatre on wheels.

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 Sierra
- Diesel engine refinement could be better
- Minor omissions: powered co-driver’s seat, rear seat recline etc. could have been avoided.
- Some niggles and electronic glitches experienced
