Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra XUV400 EV
- Real-world range is suitable for use beyond city borders
- Cabin ergonomics are on point
- Dual digital 10.25-inch screens are crisp and lag-free
- Effortless performance
- Based on a global NCAP 5-star crash safety rated platform
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 Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.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

Mahindra XUV400 EV
- Copper contrast panels may not be to everyone’s taste, especially if you prefer subtle styling
- Still no OTA update for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Misses out on a few feel-good features like ventilated seats
- Rear view camera’s execution could be better
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
