Pros

  • The Thar offers strong off-road capabilities with a 4x4 drivetrain, 226 mm ground clearance, and water-wading capacity of 650 mm, making it a serious off-roader.
  • Both petrol (150 bhp) and diesel (130 bhp) engines provide solid performance with good low-end torque, especially in the mStallion petrol variant, which feels responsive and refined.
  • The interior has been modernized with features like a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and improved materials, making it more appealing for urban buyers.

Cons

  • Rear seat space is limited, with the back seat best suited for kids, especially on long drives.
  • The braking system could be sharper, particularly in wet conditions, as the bite is not as precise as expected.
  • Lack of advanced safety features like a reverse camera and the absence of a hard-folding rear seat limit practicality in certain areas.

Verdict

The Mahindra Thar is a major step up from its predecessor, offering a great blend of off-road capability, modern amenities, and a more refined driving experience. While rear space and braking performance could be improved, the Thar excels as a rugged, fun-to-drive SUV, particularly for those who value adventure and outdoor capability. It’s a compelling choice for off-road enthusiasts and urban dwellers alike, especially with its competitive pricing.

Pros

  • Peppy 1.0 Turbo Engine
  • Lots Of Features
  • Excellent Driving Dynamics

Cons

  • Cramped; Less Space At The Rear
  • Too Many Variants
  • Paint Quality Not Great

Verdict

The Hyundai Venue is a well designed, smart urban SUV that will tick many boxes and offer great value. The prices are very attractive and that also helps explain the bookings Hyundai is getting. But it is not its prices, but rather for its tech benchmarks, modern styling and build quality, decent ride and handing, comfort and abundant drivetrain options - that the Venue really comes across as a winner.
