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
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 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
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
