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.

    BMW X5: The Ultimate experience of SUV 

    During our recent discussion with my friend about cars then he told me that he own a BMW X5 which makes him feel like he is the king on chariot. He said that it has 3.0 liter inline 6 engine which produces 335 horsepower and delivered powerful performance on both highways and rough roads. So I took test drive of his X5 and I got amazed with the experience. I felt that X5 truly shines with comfort and premium features it provides.

    Navigating the city with the BMW X5 

    Having the BMW X5 as my daily driver for over a year has been mostly a delightful experience. This mid size luxury SUV packs a punch with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six engine offering 335 horsepower, making it a powerhouse on wheels. The handling and ride quality are exemplary, courtesy of its adaptive suspension system. The cabin is a tech haven with features like an expansive 12.3 inch display, providing an all in one infotainment solution.For its size and capability, the X5's fuel economy is little bit lesser than ideal in city driving.

    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.

    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.
