The iconic off-roader comes with a more urban friendly version in the form of the Mahindra Thar 4x2 LX Automatic. The question is, can it stand out in a crowded urban SUV market that already includes the likes of the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos?

If the Thar’s unorthodox character and improved urban practicality are worthy of consideration, then this question must be attacked. It also covers the trade offs between the Thar's solid build and off road capability and the comfort and feature rich packages of its urban focused rivals.
