                  Mahindra Thar 2025-2026

                  • Attention grabbing design. Looks macho and has a strong road presence
                  • Available with petrol and diesel engines with a choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions for both.
                  • More tech: Brake based differential locking system, auto locking rear mechanical differential, shift-on-the-fly 4x4 with low range, 10.25-inch touchscreen with off-road gauges, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and navigation
                  • Improved noise vibration and harshness management offers a more refined experience

                • Force Gurkha

                  • No automatic on offer
                  • Cabin feels dated
                  • Rear seats get lap belts
                  • High-speed stability

                  Mahindra Thar 2025-2026

                  • Stiff ride quality. Deals with bad roads well but sharp bumps can unsettle the cabin quite easily
                  • Old school ladder frame SUV and behaves like one. Loads of body roll even on mild curves
                  • Some cabin flaws: Rear windows aren’t openable and thick B pillars create large blind spots to the side
                  • Not an alternative to family-friendly sub-compact/compact SUVs that are more comfortable, practical, spacious and feature-loaded
