Well, this is the Mahindra Thar which has been popular with its rugged looks and more off road capabilities, but one thing that people are unhappy about the Mahindra Thar is its lack of practicality in day to day use. The biggest downsides include the vehicle's limited seating capacity (latest model has four seats only), small boot space and bad ingress/egress especially on rear passengers. Besides, the Thar is also less fuel efficient than other SUVs in its price range and is often called out for its compromised on road comfort. All these have made many potential buyers ask whether the Thar can be a family car. But while these trade offs are common to any vehicle, Thar enthusiasts claim they are willing to compromise so long as the vehicle maintains its character and capabilities. This debate has certainly brought forth a conversation about the trade off between lifestyle and practicality when buying a vehicle.
