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 MG Gloster

Pros

  • Tremendous road presence with huge dimensions
  • Exceptionally quiet and refined cabin
  • Stacked with premium comfort
  • Capable four-wheel-drive hardware
  • Strong mid-range pulling power

Cons

  • Noticeable body roll around corners
  • Bouncy ride in the third row
  • Very thirsty fuel economy
  • No petrol engine option

Verdict

The MG Gloster is an absolute mammoth of an SUV that delivers incredible value for your money. It does not try to be a sporty corner-carver; instead, it focuses on isolating you from the chaos of the outside world. The cabin is airy, the seats are plush, and the suspension effortlessly irons out bad stretches of tarmac. Its twin-turbo 2.0-Litre diesel engine has enough grunt to hustle this heavy vehicle without breaking a sweat.

Sure, it might not have the badge snobbery of its Japanese rivals, but it easily undercuts them on sheer equipment and everyday usability. And with the MG Majestor stepping up as its successor, the Gloster may exhibit its age compared to more modern vehicles. But if you’re okay with these nuances, and you have a large family that demands a comfortable mile-muncher, the MG Gloster will still thrill you with its true 4x4 capability and that genuinely upmarket interior.

As Kingshuk concludes,

“The MG Gloster has a lot to offer. It is really, really big, feels solidly built, offers a lot of features and creature comfort options and the driving experience is quite good too.”
