Is the Thar too impractical for most buyers?
27 December 2024 11:27
The problem is that they are not practical enough, but not everyone sees it as a deal breaker. There are people who buy the Thar as a second car to use for the weekends and for off roading, while other more practical cars for day to day use.

I was turned off by the impracticality of the Thar, but, on test drive, I fell in love. There are times when the experience of driving trumps practicality.

I think the build quality on the Thar is decent but not great for the money. It’s not about premium materials or fit and finish, you’re paying for the off road capability.

It’s been 2 years now and I’ve had my Thar and it has been rock solid. Everything was fine, just regular maintenance. I think the reliability worries are blown out of proportion.

It's hit or miss with build quality. Some units appear to be very well put together, while others are ratcheted and panel gaps. Their quality control needs to be worked on by Mahindra.

In fact, the build quality of the Thar is actually pretty good for an off road focused vehicle. It's not a luxury car, it's meant to take a beating. You have to lower your expectations.

I think the Thar is fine in terms of reliability but the build quality doesn’t justify its price tag. For this much money, you expect better fit and finish on the interior.

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.

Where it counts - in the frame and powertrain - the Thar has good build quality. Its functionality and reliability aren't affected by some of the cosmetic problems people complain about.
Could a fleet of modified Mahindra Supro Vans be the answer for last mile delivery in crowded cities?

That’s a really great idea! Big delivery vans couldn’t zip through traffic or squeeze into tight spots like those little Supros.

The cargo space is way too small, no way. It would take something like 10 Supros to replace one regular delivery van. Totally impractical.

In particular, I think this is something that could work in large, dense urban areas, particularly for things like small package delivery or food delivery. The last mile is all about efficiency.

Just the fuel savings could make this worth thinking about. And think about how much easier it would be for delivery drivers to park!

They’d probably need to be modified quite a bit to meet safety standards for commercial use. That could raise the cost and defeat the purpose.

This could be a good chance for electric conversion. Current battery technology is perfect for small, light vehicles.

But what if you could design a modular cargo system to get every bit of space out of it? Standardized containers that stack efficiently in the Supro's boxy shape, like.

Dude, this is genius! The ultimate hipster road trip would be a Supro road trip. All the Instagram worthy moments!

Are you crazy? That tin can would be a death trap on the highway. And you would be stopping for gas every 100 miles.

In fact, I kind of love this idea. It's touring Indian style in a VW Bus. Slow travel vibes! Embrace!

I would not be comfortable with that. Basic seats, no AC... you'd be miserable after a few hours, never mind days.
