Pros & Cons

Advantages
    • The Mahindra Thar comes with a reassuring 4-star adult occupancy safety rating by Global NCAP. The Thar scored 12.52 points out of 17 in adult protection and 41.11 points out of 49 in child protection. Despite having a body-on-frame architecture, the Thar managed to get a stable bodyshell integrity rating from Global NCAP as well.
    • The diesel engine of the Mahindra Thar only commands a premium of Rs. 21,000 to Rs. 31,000 over the corresponding petrol variants. On the performance front, the petrol engine of the Thar produces more power than diesel, at 150PS against the diesel’s 130PS.
    • The 2.0L turbo petrol engine of the Mahindra Thar produces more power and torque than the diesel engine. In addition to that, its petrol engine produces its torque from as low as 1250rpm, giving it an advantage over the diesel engine, which generates its torque from 1600rpm.
    • The Mahindra Thar stands out of the crowd thanks to its traditional SUV design. While the design may remind some of the Jeep Wrangler, it doesn’t fail to turn heads on the road. In addition to that, the Mahindra Thar comes with a diverse range of powertrain options, with 4-wheel-drive standard across all variants. Mahindra offer the Thar with petrol and diesel engine with both manual and automatic transmission options. On the other hand, its arch rival, the Force Gurkha, only gets a diesel-manual powertrain.
    • The Mahindra Thar measures under 4-metres and goes up against the likes of the Kia Sonet and Tata Nexon in terms of price. However, it is wider than the aforementioned sub-4m SUVs. Thanks to the width, the Thar feels very confident while off-road and the wider track certainly helps. The Thar also offers a surprisingly easy ingress to the rear seats for a 2-door SUV.
    • The Thar comes with a good set of features like touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, cruise control, steering mounted controls, roof-mounted speakers and airbags. All these features do not impede the off road performance of the Thar. It even offers segment-best approach, departure and break-over angles.
    Disadvantages
      • When Mahindra launched the new-gen Thar, it was already quite expensive over its predecessor. However, soon after the launch, Mahindra removed the 6-seater variants to score the 4-star NCAP safety rating. The removal of the base variants made the starting price of the Thar even more expensive. To make things worse, Mahindra also hiked the prices of the Thar across all variants.
      • Mahindra offer the Thar convertible top with a manually-foldable fabric roof. On the highways, the fabric creates a lot of sound buffeting, which could be irritating over longer distances. We would have liked it if Mahindra had offered a hard-top convertible option.
      • The automatic transmission options in the Mahindra Thar carry a premium of Rs. 1.50 lakh over the corresponding manual transmission variants.
      • While the Mahindra Thar is a true blue off-road vehicle, not every Mahindra Thar owner wants it for its off-road credentials. Many people use the Mahindra Thar for the daily commute and weekend drives. On that front, a 2-wheel-drive drivetrain with a brake-locking-differential would serve the needs of such buyers perfectly. In addition to that, the option of a smaller 1.5L turbo petrol engine will make the Thar a lot more accessible to the masses.

      Expert Verdict

      Price & Value: Thar OG is more affordable to buy.

      Performance & Mileage: Defender delivers better performance with more power and torque, whereas Thar OG focuses on efficiency and lower running costs.

      Space & Comfort: Defender is the longest and widest of the group, which should translate to better cabin space, while Defender offers the highest ground clearance—useful for poor roads and speed breakers. Boot space is largest in Defender, making it more practical for luggage.

      Features & Safety: Feature-wise, Thar OG offers the richest equipment list. Defender misses out on some basic safety, functional or convenience features that rivals provide.

      Which one should you buy? Choose the Land Rover Defender (110) X-Dynamic HSE if your priorities are stronger performance, more cabin space and higher ground clearance. Consider the Mahindra Thar OG ZXT if you value a lower on-road price and better fuel efficiency. Overall, the Land Rover Defender (110) X-Dynamic HSE offers the better balance for buyers who prioritise stronger performance and more cabin space.
