Pros Cons of Mahindra Thar

Pros

  • Off-road capability with proper 4WD hardware and a low-range transfer case
  • Wide choice of engines, gearboxes and drivetrains
  • Distinctive design with strong road presence
  • Improved cabin features and usability in the latest update
  • Proven brand value and high resale demand 

Cons

  • Firm ride quality in city driving conditions
  • Limited space in the rear seats, which are hard to access
  • Boot space is limited with the rear seats in place
  • Petrol variants have high fuel consumption
  • Not suitable as a primary family vehicle

Verdict

Based on road tests, off-road evaluation and inputs by Seshan Vijayraghavan, Bilal Firfiray and comparative testing led by Shams Raza Naqvi, the Mahindra Thar is still a lifestyle SUV that has character and capability over convenience. Our experience confirms that the Thar is best used for adventure driving, rough road exploring and by buyers who value mechanical authenticity and road presence.
It is not suited to buyers looking for ride comfort, rear seat practicality, or ease in the city as a primary family vehicle. However, its best feature is providing true off-road hardware, good low-end torque and a design that is true to its purpose. If you choose the right variant of the Thar and have realistic expectations, it does what it promises and nothing more.
