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 Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.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

MG Windsor EV

Attractive and unique appearance will stand out on the road
Great fit and finish levels
Impressive interiors and features list
Spacious for both passengers and luggage
Great warranty, buy-back and free charging 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

MG Windsor EV

Compulsory billing of 1500km per month under the BAAS (battery-as-a-service) scheme means low mileage users will spend more than their usage
Rear seat recline does eat into boot space
Only four exterior colours to choose from
