- Pros
- Cons

Mahindra Thar
MG Windsor 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
- 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
