              Pros & Cons

              • Pros
              • Cons

                Mahindra Thar ROXX

                • Unmistakable road presence - stands tall over all other family SUVs.
                • Premium interiors - leatherette upholstery and soft touch dashboard and door pads.
                • Very sensible and rich feature package including ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, dual displays and ADAS level 2.
                • Refined and powerful engine options. The SUV will not feel underpowered - no matter the situation.
                • Lots of variant and powertrain options including a lot of city specific RWD options.
                • Very well equipped base variant with 6 airbags, LED lights, touchscreen, rear AC vents, four-speaker sound system, height adjustable driver’s seat and remote locking and unlocking.
                • Boot space is better than most compact SUVs.

                Tata Safari

                • Improved design makes a bolder statement.
                • Premium interior design and experience.
                • Ample space for adults in all rows.
                • Feature loaded: 12.3” touchscreen, 10.25” driver’s display, seat ventilation, JBL sound system, and more

                Mahindra Thar ROXX

                • Ride comfort is still a problem. It tosses you side to side on bad roads.
                • Efficiency is low, even in the RWD variants. Expect under 10 kmpl with petrol and under 12 kmpl with diesel automatics.
                • White interiors - especially the fabric roof gets dirty easily and won't be easy to clean. The leatherette seats are easier to manage.

                Tata Safari

                • No petrol engine option, or all-wheel-drive option
                • Diesel engine could be more refined

              • Mahindra Thar Roxx Review: It's Unfair

                Mahindra was listening. Everytime we journalists complained about the Thar, they were listening. Everytime an owner got frustrated with the Thar, they were listening. And now, the Thar is back - bigger, better and bolder than before.
