          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

            Kia Carens

            • Looks unique, in a good way.
            • Good presence with generous exterior dimensions
            • Lots of practical elements integrated into the cabin
            • Available in 6- and 7-seater configurations
            • Turbo-petrol and diesel engine options
            • Automatic transmission option with both engines

            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.

            Kia Carens

            • Missing some premium features
            • Looks more like an MPV, than an SUV
            • 16-inch wheels look small on the overall large side profile

            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.
