          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

            Honda City

            • Spacious cabin. Rear seat kneeroom rivals cars from a segment above.
            • Best in segment interior quality
            • Comfortable ride quality
            • Updated exterior makes it more tempting
            • ADAS standard in multiple variants

            Mahindra Thar ROXX

            • Unmistakable road presence - stands tall over all other family SUVs.
            • Premium interiors - leatherette upholstery and soft touch dashboard and door pads.
            • Very sensible and rich feature package including ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, dual displays and ADAS level 2.
            • Refined and powerful engine options. The SUV will not feel underpowered - no matter the situation.
            • Lots of variant and powertrain options including a lot of city specific RWD options.
            • Very well equipped base variant with 6 airbags, LED lights, touchscreen, rear AC vents, four-speaker sound system, height adjustable driver’s seat and remote locking and unlocking.
            • Boot space is better than most compact SUVs.

            Honda City

            • Lacks some ‘wow’ features like ventilated seats, powered driver seat, branded stereo
            • Diesel motor is now discontinued
            • Tight rear seat headroom

            Mahindra Thar ROXX

            • Ride comfort is still a problem. It tosses you side to side on bad roads.
            • Efficiency is low, even in the RWD variants. Expect under 10 kmpl with petrol and under 12 kmpl with diesel automatics.
            • White interiors - especially the fabric roof gets dirty easily and won't be easy to clean. The leatherette seats are easier to manage.

          • Mahindra Thar Roxx Review: It's Unfair

            Mahindra was listening. Everytime we journalists complained about the Thar, they were listening. Everytime an owner got frustrated with the Thar, they were listening. And now, the Thar is back - bigger, better and bolder than before.
