Mahindra Thar [2014-2020] User Reviews

 

Exterior The car looks divine in black. so much so that on toll plazas many didnt bother asking for toll. some tght its a military jeep it seems! on highway , people sure turned to look and when on traffic signals the question we got was 'is it DI or new engine'.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Ambassador door pads are better quality than this car. dont think they r going to last . finish was pathetic to put it mildly. took it to mahindra qorkshop and got things fixed.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This car flies. once the turbo kicks in, there is no stopping this beast. absolutely under control even upwards of 120km/hr. havent ever driven a jeep at that speed! the side view mirror lossened because of strong winds. had to tighten screws.

Ride Quality & Handling less bumpier than previous jeeps. tries to strike a balance between city and off roading. does it well.

Final Words was looking to get my hands on something like this for long. thanks to mahindra for finally having given somethin and at great prices. please work on interior plastic and finishing . that shouldnt cost much and will make sure this car doesn get any negative reviews on any aspect at all. there is simply nothing else that can be criticised.

Areas of improvement NA.

what more could i ask for 7 lacplastic quality and interior finish worse than auto rickshaws

 

Hats off to Mahindra to come out with Thar Crde. This will be an exceptional vehicle for both city drive and also offroading. Though one has to spend another 50K to bring the basic luxuries inside. It dosent have Ac but definitly blower and space to fix one. and the best part is Thar can be modified according to your taste. The crde engine roars to power and one small push on the accelerator pedal and you will have the thrill of your life. I have been driving cars for almost 10 yrs now and sincerely feel that almost any car for that matter will be boring within 2 months of its purchase. One will start fantazizing other models soon. I have booked a red Thar crde after waiting for almost 5 months without a car. Has to take this for offroading to be more specific abt its ability. Theres a long waiting period for the base DI model and CRDe will be available in a months time.

 

looks macho, looks more like a westernized JeepShould have more options and variants

 

Exterior Imposing stature , others - Okay , nothing much nothing less

 

 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfortable for the front seats , Punishment for the rear seat occupants . Very basic interiors.

 

 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 0-100 kmph in just 13 secs , great perfomance , great offroad abilities , but unstable over 80kmph. fuel economy is okay for a large size low RPM engine.Old fashioned gearbox , gets stuck in  reverse gear in 50% of time.

 

 

 

Ride Quality & Handling Okay for the front seaters , punishment for the back seaters ( as it has leaf springs in the rear suspension. Unstable over 80kmph. It is not made for three digit speedo readings.

 

 

 

Final Words: Value for money for proper off roading enthusiasts , which other fancy "SUV" can not deliver.

 

 

 

Areas of improvement  Most required - Airconditioner ( which is available now ) & four point seat belts.

 

 

 

Offroading capabilityvery basic interior

Exterior Looks nice...  Bumpers are not strong enough...Soft top is noisy if you rise the spped over 60kmph overall good exteriors...

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Seats are fine. driver seat is not exactly straight to the steering... Very poor quality plastic used for dashboard. no place to keep something safe inside(no hard-top too) Space is OK. Driving comfort is very good. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very good. Fuel economy above 12kmpl, it is fine. Gearbox is little bit hard for 1-4 gears. But you will always love to to shift it to 5th, it is really smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good handling. and ride quality. Feel like driving SUV on highways or similar quality roads. The soft top makes sound if you drive above 60 KMPH due to wind.

Final Words I m happy after driving for 1 and half years 50000 kms. (Non AC version). Now it is too much money for the AC versions. (over 8 lakhs).

Areas of improvement Dashboard quality, Hardtop variant, Doors mechanism, safety.

Good handling, Comfort driving, Good braking, Front suspension, PowerBad quality dashboard, No Hard-top variant, All doors locks are bad and noisy

Exterior Canopy with zip system is very less durable. Needs alternate design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) No hand rest. No Glove box with lock. No provisions for keeping mobile, & other important items inside.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is Okay. Fuel economy is poor. Gear system a bit hard to operate. No leg rest near clutch pedal.

Exhaust system is badly designed. Exhaust gas is being sucked in while running leading to Carbon monoxide inhalation. It is a big health risk and a serious problem. If this has happened in country like US or Europe the Company would be liable for a very big penalty.

Another serious issue the Clutch system. While bumper to bumper drive in city traffic, within 15-20 mins the system getting heated up emitting foul smell and afraid to drive. These issues needs priority attention before the consumer heads to consumer forum for redressal.

Ride Quality & Handling Okay. Hand break is very poor. Even after full stretch the vehicle keeps moving at rest position.

Final Words Overall not happy.

Areas of improvement Needs to call back all faulty vehicle and address the problems on top priority.

Fuel needs improvementNo Glove box with lock system. No provisions for Mobile & papers keeping

This is best off-roader vehicle and also on highway the driving experience is fabulous It's top speed 130km/h as i can drive and this car has so much good power as i think Thanks Mahindra to provide this powerful machine.
