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, powered driver seat, ventilated front seats, and ADAS
- 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
Renault Duster
- Simple, rugged design. Looks ready to take on harsh Indian conditions.
- Brilliant suspension tuning. Exceptional ride comfort and sharp handling too!
- Loaded feature list: Panoramic sunroof, 360° camera, dual-zone climate control, ventilated front seats etc.
- In-built Google integration: Google Maps, music streaming apps live inside the car, not your phone.
- Biggest usable boot space: gobbles up check-in sized luggage bags with ease.

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
Renault Duster
- Rear seat space is average. Enough for a six footer behind another, but not exceptional.
- Plastic quality in certain places could be better.
- 360° camera quality is sub-par. Grainy and low res.
