Pros Cons of Mahindra Thar
Pros
- Three-door attention-grabbing iconic design
- 4x4 is a seriously potent off-roader
- Robust built
Cons
- Inconvenient for four passengers
- Not fuel-efficient
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 of Volkswagen Taigun
Pros
- Build quality
- Turbo engines
- Handling
Cons
- Expensive
- Fuel efficiency
- No Diesel option
Verdict
Taigun has come like a breath of fresh air in the crowded and competitive compact SUV space in India. Despite the arrival of some newer models in 2022, the car has manged to hold own to its own, primarily because of its build quality, safety and drivability, especially with the bigger 1.5 litre turbo engine. At higher end though, it does feel a tad expensive which is a critical factor in the segment.
