Pros Cons of Mahindra Thar Roxx

Pros

  • A bigger family-oriented Thar 
  • Practical with good features 
  • Strong performance

Cons

  • Imperfect ergonomics 
  • Heavy steering at high speeds 
  • Bouncy ride 

Verdict

The Mahindra Thar Roxx is a great option if you like the Thar's form factor. In fact, the Roxx offers more comfort and family-oriented features than the three-door Thar. As compared to its bigger sibling, the Scorpio N, the Roxx provides more features for less money if you don't need seven seats. However, when up against road-focused SUVs like the Tata Nexon or the Hyundai Creta, the Roxx compromises on refinement, driving ease, and fuel efficiency. 

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.
