Pros & Cons Comparison

Things We Like in Mahindra Thar

India's only mass-market SUV combining body-on-frame construction, low-range 4WD, and an electronic brake-locking differential.
Three distinct engine options, including India's only TGDi petrol in this segment.

Things We Like in Mahindra XUV400 EV

Sportscar like acceleration at all speeds
Wide and comfortable occupant space with a good boot size to boast

Things We Don't Like in Mahindra Thar

The 2020 NCAP test showed an unstable footwell and marginal knee protection, with no updated results available.
Side body and curtain airbags are absent across all variants.

Things We Don't Like in Mahindra XUV400 EV

The EC PRO model is an extremely bad proposition due to its poor feature list for a 15 Lakh EV SUV
NMC Battery will degrade faster than LFP cells in Nexon
