Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra Thar ROXX
- Old-school boxy SUV styling grabs attention and has more road presence than similarly priced SUVs
- Both engines options deliver punchy performance and good driveability even with a full passenger load
- Rich features list: Panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon audio, ADAS and more
- 5/5 start safety rating from Bharat NCAP. Base model is strong on safety too
- Very capable off-road. 4x4 option gives you absolute freedom to explore but even the rear-wheel drive is very capable
Maruti XL6
- The redesigned front face packs more attitude and offers better road presence.
- New safety and premium features are a welcome addition
- Captain seats are large and comfortable
- Spacious 3rd row
- High claimed fuel efficiency of 20.97kmpl (MT) and 20.27kmpl (AT)

Mahindra Thar ROXX
- Ride quality is not as comfortable as cars like the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara or Skoda Kushaq. Bad roads can toss occupants around, especially in the rear seat
- Petrol engine is high on performance but also high on fuel consumption
- No 4x4 petrol option
Maruti XL6
- Some useful features like automatic day/night IRVM, rear window blinds and rear cup holders are still missing.
- No diesel option
- Curtain airbags for rear occupants should have been part of the safety features.
