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 Fortuner

Pros

  • Strong low-end diesel torque
  • Commanding SUV road presence
  • Improved ride quality
  • Affordable ladder-frame toughness
  • Loyal, proven brand legacy

Cons

  • Expensive compared to rivals
  • Bulky for city parking
  • Petrol engine feels weak
  • Ride comfort slightly firm
  • Lacks modern ADAS suite

Verdict

The Toyota Fortuner is not trying to please everyone and that is exactly why it remains king. This is a machine built on legacy, torque and unquestioned authority. You feel it the moment you sit high behind the wheel. It does not beg for attention; it commands it. If you want soft ride comfort and flashy tech, look elsewhere. But if you want presence, durability and unstoppable road confidence, this is it. As Shams Raza Naqvi would put it, this is the SUV you buy when you want to own the road, not share it. No apologies. No compromises.

Best For

  • Dominating the highways roads.
  • Extreme off-road adventure lovers.
  • Long-distance touring without compromise.
  • Buyers with a strong resale value.

Not Ideal For

  • Tight urban daily commuters
  • Tech-first luxury feature hunters
  • Soft suspension comfort lovers
  • Budget-conscious SUV shoppers
