Pros & Cons Comparison

Things We Like in Mahindra Thar

India's only mass-market SUV combining body-on-frame construction, low-range 4WD, and an electronic brake-locking differential.
Three distinct engine options, including India's only TGDi petrol in this segment.

Things We Like in Mahindra Thar ROXX

Iconic and rugged design with increased practicality from 5 doors.
Available with powerful petrol and diesel engine options.

Things We Don't Like in Mahindra Thar

The 2020 NCAP test showed an unstable footwell and marginal knee protection, with no updated results available.
Side body and curtain airbags are absent across all variants.

Things We Don't Like in Mahindra Thar ROXX

Still based on a ladder-on-frame chassis, which might result in some compromises in on-road dynamics compared to monocoque SUVs.
Rear visibility might be somewhat limited due to the design.
