Pros
Cons
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
Verdict
The 5 series continues to impress with its dynamic capabilities but a more contemporary face and tech laden cabin has made the car even more appealing than before. It starts at ₹ 62.90 lakh for the Petrol version while the 520d is priced at ₹ 63.90 lakh. Top of the line 530d will set you back by ₹ 71.90 lakh (all prices ex-showroom). It is going up against the likes of the recently launched Mercedes E-class, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF.
