Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which car is better Thar or Gurkha?
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. Thar looks modern with tweaked styling and improved interiors. The drivetrain includes petrol, diesel and automatic options. 4x4 is standard. Washable interiors are a nice touch. The Thar's appeal and promise to take you on great adventures is a big draw but living with it every day will still ask you to make many compromises. As a second car or for those who just need the utility of the 4x4 the Thar’s appeal is undeniable. On the other hand, Gurkha's old-school design, comfortable seating for four, pliant low-speed ride, surprisingly easy to drive in the city, and refined engine. Even when it comes to practicality it is spacious and has comfortable seating for four and unlike its main rival, the Mahindra Thar, it gets a proper boot. The engine is more refined than before, it is surprisingly easy to drive at city speeds, and the low-speed ride is very comfortable which makes it quite good for everyday commutes. But it doesn’t quite have the requisite dual personality which we’ve come to expect of modern cars. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive.

    Amazing luxury sedan 

    I love this car and I will own it someday and love BMW and BMW and Mercedes are always killing the market in technology and quality. Excellent driving dynamics and a awsome interior are found in the cabin and the BMW 7 series get excellent design features. This sedan offers a smooth and powerful three liter engine and this car has excellent acceleration and a very powerful engine but screens can be distracting at times. The amount of luxury and tech in this car is really very crazy and is a great to drive this car.

    Ultimate Comfort with some unnecessary things  

    Taking the BMW 7 Series on a trip from Delhi to Agra was a true test of this flagship sedan’s capabilities. The car’s 3.0 liter turbocharged V6 engine delivers powerhouse of 320 horsepower which ensured we goes smoothly from Yamuna Expressway. The rear seat entertainment system was a lifesaver for keeping kids entertained.Also, the car's advanced tech features sometimes felt more gimmicky than useful, specially the gesture control system.

    top notch model 

    Ranging from an expensive range of cost value of 2.13-1.16 crores, the all new BMW 7 SERIES highlights its looks and feels and tops the popular BMW series in the industry of cars. It is also known as the flagship sedan of the brand. It gives the feel of a business class with cinematic structures and unmatchable features. My uncle recently upgraded to this model and he said that it is not for crowded cities but overall it is a top notch model.

    Driving the BMW 7 Series ...wow 

    After several months with the BMW 7 Series, I have found it to be a vehicle of contrasts. It stands as a testament to luxury and power but comes with its set of limitations particularly noticed by an Indian car owner.Powering through with a choice of engines from the 335 hp 740i to the muscular 601 hp M760i, the 7 Series accelerates with a grace that belies its size. The spacious and opulent interior, adorned with high quality materials and cutting edge tech like the BMW's Live Cockpit Professional, makes every trip luxurious.

    Mahindra Thar: A Adventure Beauty 

    I recently took my Mahindra Thar on an unforgettable road trip to the picture perfect hills of Manali and I must tell you it was an absolute pleasure experience. The Thar has 2.2L mHawk diesel engine with the help of that it easily handled the bumpy surface like a champion. The 4x4 drivetrain was a real lifesaver on those tricky, off road sections.One of the high points of the trip was definitely the open rooftop experience which allows us to felt in love with the scenic beauty.

    everyone's favourite 

    In the matter of space, comfort and luxury, the Mahindra Thar is hands down, one of the best mahindra models. It is perfect for four people, better space and room as compared to the other mahindra models. The drive train is AWD and the most convenient part is that it gives options in transmission. One can choose manual or automatic as per their desire. Its turbocharged engine is powerful. It is very expensive going and is also suitable for off roading.

    the coolest model ever 

    Mahindra Thar is such a diverse model. It provides a lot of options to the owners to customize according to themselves. It is a five seater hatchback. I own the white colour od the car. The drive quality is of premium level and hands down the best. Its looks so attractive an quirky that it is sure to grab attention everywhere.

    A True Off-Roader with Room for Improvement 

    My adventures over the past six months with the new Mahindra Thar have been nothing short of spectacular. This rugged machine, equipped with a 2.2-liter mHawk diesel engine, which delivers a decent 130 PS and a robust 300 Nm of torque is built to tackle any terrain. The 4x4 capability means that muddy fields and rocky paths are a breeze for Thar.Though the Thar shines off road, daily driving paints a different picture. For starters, its heavy steering and firm suspension can make regular city commutes quite a task.
