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 Toyota Glanza

Pros

  • Smooth and refined engine
  • Excellent city drivability
  • Practical rear seat space
  • Strong fuel efficiency
  • Sensible feature package

Cons

  • Not fun to drive
  • Design feels too familiar
  • AMT lacks punch
  • No turbo engine option
  • Limited visual differentiation

Verdict

After spending time behind the wheel, one thing becomes clear: this hatchback knows exactly what it wants to be. The Toyota Glanza does not pursue performance headlines or stylish design trends. Instead, it focuses on refinement, comfort, fuel efficiency, and stress-free daily driving. And to be honest, that clarity is nice.

You can feel it in traffic. You can see it on the roads. Everything functions as intended, providing a fuss-free experience. Not very dramatic. Not flashy. But one of the smartest hatchback buys you can make.

Best For

  • Young urban professionals
  • First-time car buyers
  • Daily city commuters
  • Buyers prioritising fuel efficiency

Not Ideal For

  • Buyers prioritising rear-seat space
  • Highway performance hunters
  • Premium cabin seekers
  • SUV-style lovers
