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 Tata Sierra

Throwback design that functional too with massive headroom for rear passengers
Tata's new 160 PS engine could be the force to reckon with

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 Tata Sierra

That new Hyperion 1.5 engine will have to prove itself over time
We sincerely hope Tata's infamous service issues are updated this time around
