Does the dilution of the Mahindra Thar's iconic status come at the cost of the 4x2 LX Automatic variant?
28 January 2025 11:15
They made a smart move with the 4x2 version. It doesn’t quite abandon its roots, but it keeps the Thar relevant in a changing market. It’s not just about off road ability, it’s about icon status.
Is Mahindra Thar 4x2 LX Automatic a right pick for first SUV buyers?
28 January 2025 11:15
It might be a bit much as a first SUV. The high seating position, and the boxy shape can make it tough for those who are used to driving sedans or hatchbacks. However, as you’re adventurous, why not?
Does the Thar 4x2 LX feel less 'raw' because of the automatic transmission?
28 January 2025 11:15
I suppose it's a fair trade off. It’s a bit of a loss of that old school charm, but you gain so much in terms of daily usability. Plus, the auto is pretty responsive when you need to be.
How does Mahindra Thar 4x2 LX Automatic fare as an urban SUV rival to Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos?
28 January 2025 11:15
I would say it's competitive, in its own way. Sure, it might not have all the bells and whistles, but it’s built like a tank and has presence on the road that the soft roaders can’t match.
Is the Mahindra Thar 4x2 LX Automatic a city slicker in disguise or a true off roader?
28 January 2025 11:15
Mahindra is doing a smart thing. What they are doing is making the Thar accessible to people who love the looks but don’t need hardcore off road capabilities. But it’s still more capable than most crossovers out there.
Off-road, can the Jimny really compete with the Mahindra Thar?
31 December 2024 09:03
They don’t compete, they excel in different areas. On tight trails and forest roads, the Jimny is better than the Thar, and on more open, challenging terrain the Thar is the better choice.
So how does the Gypsy stack up against today's off roader like the new Mahindra Thar?
30 December 2024 10:32
It's apples and oranges. It is a pure mechanical experience that’s hard to replicate. The Thar is all the more reasonable for regular use. It all depends on what you’re looking for.
Is the Thar Roxx’s wheel hop issue making it unsafe for daily driving?
27 December 2024 11:38
That's a design flaw that Mahindra should correct. It’s not unsafe, but it’s annoying and shouldn’t happen in a modern vehicle.
Is the Thar Roxx actually a practical family daily driver?
27 December 2024 11:38
It’s still too rugged for comfortable daily use, but it’s getting close. However, it doesn’t ride as well as other similarly priced SUVs.
Is the Thar Roxx eating into sales of other Mahindra models such as the XUV700 and Scorpio?
27 December 2024 11:38
I don't think so. The Roxx, however, appeals to a different kind of buyer, who would never have looked at the XUV700 or Scorpio in the first place.
Is Mahindra mismanaging Thar Roxx production, or are the long waiting periods justified?
27 December 2024 11:38
It's just high demand. It takes time to make quality and I’d rather wait for a quality built vehicle than a rushed one.
Should you consider buying a Thar Roxx for 25 lakh?
27 December 2024 11:38
If you like off roading and need a capable vehicle that can also be your daily driver, it is worth every penny. All those tech and comfort features are certainly worth it.
Should Mahindra work on the Thar's on road manners or focus on improving its off road capabilities?
27 December 2024 11:27
I feel Mahindra should concentrate on noise reduction and raising the ride quality on roads, but not at the expense of ground clearance or approach/departure angles. It's a hard thing to get the balance of, but it can be done.
Is the Mahindra Thar really the hype, or all it’s cracked up to be?
27 December 2024 11:27
But the hype around the Thar is mostly justified, not everyone will like it. It's a commitment vehicle that you need to understand its limitations. If you only buy it for the looks, then you will probably be disappointed. It's amazing if you actually use it for what it's supposed to be used for.
Is owning a Thar a bad driver or that is a stereotype?
27 December 2024 11:27
The issue is not the Thar itself, but a lack of proper driver education in India. Any powerful vehicle can be a dangerous thing in the wrong hands. All drivers need better training, and stricter enforcement of traffic rules.
Is the Thar too impractical for most buyers?
27 December 2024 11:27
The practicality issue, I think, is really going to come down to your lifestyle. The Thar can work as a daily driver if you are single or have a small family and don't have to haul a lot of stuff. That’s life, it’s all about your priorities.
Can one really buy a trusted and built to last vehicle for so little money?
27 December 2024 11:27
I have had both the old and new Thar and can very confidently say that the new one is a huge improvement in terms of build quality and reliability. It's not perfect but it's improved a lot.
