Jeep Wrangler vs Mahindra Thar

The petrol Mahindra Thar is simply a dream to drive thanks to a silent, smooth and powerful motor. Mahindra has pulled off a brilliant job with this mill, which certainly works wonders in its favour. At long last, comparing the Thar to other similarly priced vehicles seems inappropriate since it is an all-together different breed. One whose flaws add to the overall charm of the ownership experience. A truly different life-statement I’d say.

The petrol Mahindra Thar is simply a dream to drive. Silent, smooth, and feels as capable off-road. Mahindra has done wonders with this engine, which works in favour of its charm. However, comparing the Thar to its price segment contenders doesn’t seem do justice since owning one is all about a life-statement. Nevertheless, frugality, fit and finish in several areas, a few ergonomic irritants and some occupant discomfort are the by-products of an otherwise evolved Thar. On the contrary, no other car I’ve driven till date has attracted as much attention as the new Thar.

But what we are looking at here is a detailed exploration of what has changed, evolved even, in the new Thar compared to the utilitarian first-gen model. Let’s dive in.
