More Expert Reviews on Thar and XUV500

Mahindra Thar Petrol Automatic: Pros and Cons

By Santosh Nair1 month ago

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.

2018 Mahindra XUV500 W11 Diesel manual First Drive Review

By Venkat Desirazu2 years ago

Mahindra has updated the XUV500 for 2018. Now dubbed the ‘Plush new XUV500’ it’s a major change for the car since the facelifted version was launched in 2015. This model year change sees the Indian automaker’s flagship vehicle get cosmetic updates on the outside, inside as well as under the hood for the first time.

2020 New Mahindra Thar Petrol First Drive Review

By Santosh Nair2 months ago

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.
