              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 Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.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

                Tata Nexon

                • Loaded with features: sunroof, front seat ventilation, dual displays
                • Comfortable ride quality: tackles bad roads with ease
                • Choice of petrol and diesel engines. New 7-speed DCT available with petrol
                • Updated interior features better design and quality
              • 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

                Tata Nexon

                • Ergonomic issues still persist
                • Iffy fit and finish around certain interior panels
                • Tech package glitches time to time
