- More configurations: Fixed soft top, fixed hardtop or convertible soft top, available as a 6- or 4- seater

Mahindra Thar
Mahindra XUV400 EV
- 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
- Copper contrast panels may not be to everyone’s taste, especially if you prefer subtle styling
- Still no OTA update for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Misses out on a few feel-good features like ventilated seats
- Rear view camera’s execution could be better
