    • The Tata Safari is slightly more feature rich than the Thar Roxx. Tata’s SUV gets amenities like dual-zone AC, powered tailgate with gesture control, memory function for driver’s seat, 4-way powered co-driver’s seat with electric boss mode, and ambient lighting. 

    • The Safari also gets a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen and a 10-speaker JBL sound system. In comparison, the Thar Roxx comes with a 10.25-inch touchscreen and features a 9-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.

    Which SUV To Buy?

    The Tata Safari not only looks more premium but also offers more features and greater seating capacity compared to the Mahindra Thar Roxx. On the other hand, the Thar Roxx is a 5-seater but does not miss out on anything significant, especially considering its price. Additionally, the Thar Roxx offers a turbo-petrol engine option, while the Safari comes only with a diesel engine. 

    On paper, the Thar Roxx, with its appealing looks, extensive features list, and aggressive pricing, seems to offer good value for money. However, we strongly recommend taking a thorough test drive of both the Thar Roxx and the Safari before making your decision. Based on our initial impressions, the Thar Roxx has a relatively stiff suspension setup, which results in noticeable side-to-side movements that rear passengers will particularly feel. If you are specifically looking for a comfortable family SUV, you might find the Safari to be a better choice.
