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.

Pros Cons of BMW Z4

Pros

  • Stunning Design
  • Inline Six-Cylinder Motor Is Fun
  • Open-Top Motoring

Cons

  • Not The Most Spacious Cabin
  • Small Boot
  • No Significant Updates

Verdict

It drives like a BMW should, it's quick on its heels and you'll love the grip that is on offer if you bend into the curves. It's been 4 years that the Z4 is in India and the customers still believe that the car is good looking and fun to drive. BMW has priced it at Rs 69.9 lakhs which is at par with most of its competitors. However, BMW has to think of a serious facelift of the Z4 perhaps a new beginning will mean a bigger and brighter future.
