              Pros & Cons

              • Pros
              • Cons
              • Mahindra Thar

                • Attention grabbing design. Looks macho and has stronger road presence than ever before.
                • Available with petrol and diesel engines with a choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions for both.
                • Design better suited for off-roading than before. Big improvements in departure angle, breakover angle and ground clearance.
                • More tech: Brake based differential locking system, auto locking rear mechanical differential, shift-on-the-fly 4x4 with low range, 7-inch touchscreen with off-road gauges, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and navigation
                • Good quality interior with better practicality than before. The Thar is now more family friendly.
                • Improved noise vibration and harshness management. Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.
                • More configurations: Fixed soft top, fixed hardtop or convertible soft top, available as a 6- or 4- seater

                Hyundai Creta

                • Improved styling with a more sophisticated appearance
                • Better interior design and improved quality for a better in-cabin experience
                • Packed with features, including dual 10.25” displays, Level 2 ADAS, a panoramic sunroof.
                • Rear seat convenience features like sunshades and headrest pillows
                • Ride quality in the city
                • Multiple engine options including a diesel with both manual and automatic options
              • Mahindra Thar

                • Stiff ride quality. Deals with bad roads well but sharp bumps can unsettle the cabin quite easily
                • Old school ladder frame SUV and behaves like one. Loads of body roll even on mild curves
                • Some cabin flaws: Rear windows aren’t openable, pedal box leaves no proper space to rest your left foot even in the automatic and thick B pillars create large blind spots to the side
                • It’s a heavily improved/polished version of a hardcore off-roader but not an alternative to more practical, comfortable, feature rich compact/sub compact SUVs

                Hyundai Creta

                • Shallow boot space more suitable for small trolley bags
                • Limited automatic variants, with the turbo engine available in only one variant
                • BNCAP score is missing
