Pros Cons of Mahindra Thar
Pros
- Three-door attention-grabbing iconic design
- 4x4 is a seriously potent off-roader
- Robust built
Cons
- Inconvenient for four passengers
- Not fuel-efficient
Verdict
The Mahindra Thar, with its rugged, hefty look, is mechanically sound with driving manners good enough for city and highway. Whether the three-door Thar suits a family is debatable, but it's always been a niche vehicle for a specific set of buyers.
Pros Cons of Maruti Suzuki XL6
Pros
- Affordability
- Comfortable Seats
- Improved Safety Kit
Cons
- No Diesel On Offer
- Lacks Outright Grunt
- 3Rd-Row Isn'T For Everyone
Verdict
The XL6 is a welcome addition to the Maruti Suzuki family. Could it have been better? Yes. But it is still a car I see plenty of families and individuals adopting. The pricing is fairly attractive sitting just a bit higher than the Ertiga's but with a good chunk of equipment as standard. It may not be as big as the Innova, and perhaps remains a tad lower on premiumness. But its ride quality and feature list, plus its styling and pricing will get people in to check out Nexa's first 3-row car.
