          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons
          • MG Hector

            • Feels and looks premium inside and out
            • Generous cabin space, comfortable for even taller passengers
            • Loaded with good features like a 14-inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof
            • Safety kit boosted by the inclusion of ADAS
            • A refined petrol engine with comfortable ride quality

            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 Doesn’t feel crude or outdated to drive anymore.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
          • MG Hector

            • Its styling could seem too blingy to some buyers
            • Has lost out on the mild-hybrid tech; still no diesel-auto combo
            • Its electronics could have been more responsive
            • Should have had better contoured seats and underthigh support at the rear
            • Fuel efficiency of the petrol engine is still an issue

            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
