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 Jeep Compass

Pros

  • The updated Jeep Compass offers a 4x2 diesel automatic option, making it more affordable and accessible, with prices starting at Rs. 20.49 lakh.
  • Powered by the same 2.0-litre diesel engine with 168 bhp and 350 Nm of torque, it delivers solid performance, especially at higher revs.
  • The BlackShark edition comes with stylish black accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and an all-black cabin with premium materials, enhancing the SUV's aesthetic appeal.

Cons

  • The 9-speed automatic gearbox is tuned for efficiency, which makes it feel laggy at lower revs, especially in city driving.
  • While the Compass is more affordable, it still faces stiff competition from rivals like the Tata Harrier and Mahindra XUV700, which offer more value for the money in terms of features.
  • The petrol option has been discontinued, limiting choices for buyers who prefer gasoline-powered vehicles.

Verdict

The 2024 Jeep Compass is a solid SUV with strong brand value and a peppy diesel engine, now made more affordable with the 4x2 diesel automatic variant. While it may lag behind some competitors in terms of features and performance value, its premium styling, strong performance at higher revs, and the addition of the BlackShark edition make it an attractive option for Jeep enthusiasts.
