Pros & Cons
- Pros
- Cons
Mahindra Thar ROXX

- 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
