Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is best between Titanium or Titanium Plus - Freestyle?
  • Titanium Plus has 6 Airbags and some perks like SYNC3 Infotainmet System which is the best among the cars in segment.But, if you want to upgrade your Upholstery, like Leather seat covers then you will not be able to do so in the Plus variant as it has Airbags embedded in Front Seats. You may go with Titanium and spend around 10K for Seat Covers and Automatic Headlamps and Automatic Wipers which is there in the Plus model.
  • With the price difference of about 60k on-road in Bangalore, you will get 6 airbags, rain sensing wipers and smart voice assistant infotainment system. Rest features are mostly same. It's your call.
  • Titanium plus because even if you make a decision to put the other accessories aftermarket it might cost more than a lakh...its better to go for the plus...

Q. WHICH IS BETTER, FIGO OR FREESTYLE ? Is it true that Figo is being phased out ?
  • Figo is been one of the star performer product from Ford. It's is still a very good choice for city driving. Build quality is very good, it's easy to drive, engines are refined in both , petrol and Diesel. Freestyle is carries the same engines as of Figo, but it's different by nature. Figo is considered a city car but freestyle is an all rounder. The rise quality of freestyle is as comfortable on bad stretch as in city. Suspension is very good, handling is superb, safety features are fantastic, and to top it, it possess "ARP" anti rollover prevention. Figo and freestyle serves different purposes.If you only drive in city you can go for Figo, else freestyle should be your choice.
  • No. In fact, there is a sports edition of Figo that is not mentioned in Zigwheels. It features the same engine options as Freestyle.But, if you are looking for good offroad performance and safety, then Freestyle will be a better choice.
  • Freestyle is better in power and mileage with its dragon engine (same as in ecosport but in 1.2k cc).Touch infotainment screen in freestyle is missing in figo.Higher ground clearance in freestyle makes it better than figo.

Q. Which engine option between the petrol & diesel is more fuel efficient and delivers better pulling power - Thar 2020 - Thar 2020?
  • The 2020 Mahindra Thar gets two engine options - a 130PS/300Nm 2.2-litre diesel engine and a 150PS/320Nm 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine. Since the petrol unit is a turbocharged one, the power figures are higher for it than that of diesel. Moreover, the fuel efficiency figures aren't out for the Thar yet so we'll have to wait for that. Also, Selecting the right fuel type depends on your average running of the car. If you drive less then 50km in a day then we recommend you to go with a petrol car as they are easy to maintain, have a longer life span and they cost less initially then the diesel car. On the other hand, diesel cars are preferred if the average daily run is more than 50km which makes it feasible purchase. For a better understanding of performance and drivability, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

    Conquer Every Terrain with Mahindra Thar 

    The Mahindra Thar's tough construction and grim performance have it to attack any my travelling, from rough lines to flaxen stacks. Its strong machine and advanced technology allow it to take on indeed the most delicate tasks, and its wide innards ensures that every passenger is comfortable. With its mix of coincidental advancements and quaint Style cues, the Thar's special design honors its heritage. For those appearing to explore the great outside, the Mahindra Thar is the nice agent because of its celebrated good features and go- anywhere station.

    High safety and amazing performer 

    The safety in Mahindra Thar is very high with high score in the safety but gives body roll. The engine is refined and in the city it is very enjoyable and is a very different SUV and the feel of this car is excellent. It offers a lot in good pricing and is a very awsome car to drive and is a winner car from Mahindra but the comfort is not good in the rear seat. The cabin is noise free and i am using petrol engine and the ground clearance is outstanding and the handling is decent.

    Where Adventure Meets Freedom 

    The Mahindra Thar offers driver like me an unmatched off- road experience and thrilling open- air driving, bringing around adventure and independence together. The Thar is aspects to fluently navigate indeed the most delicate my travelling because to its sturdy lattice, durable design, and prideful 4x4 capabilities. For off- road suckers worldwide, this notorious SUV offers the ultimate sensation of independence and disquisition — whether they are riding along flaxen strands and crawling over boulders.

    Ultimate Blend of Adventure and Comfort 

    Mahindra Thar is multi-faceted off-roader has a combined feature of toughness and modern comforts. Its unique features and design, solid structure and powerful diesel engine allow this vehicle to be in impressive off-road capacity and durability. Thar offers space and driver-friendly infotainment make it suitable for both enthusiastic off roading and daily driving. Yet, it's on-road handling and ride quality is likely to be seen as lacking in comparison to more refined SUV versions. Mahindra Thar is the perfect pick for ones looking for a renowned and off-road oriented SUV with distinct identity and approach.

    Stylish off roader 

    It is my Mahindra's beast, the Thar is an all terrain and a rugged SUV that also offers impressive off-road functionalities. Its practical and boxy shape is both functional and aesthetic, while the spacious and comfortable place is a pleasure to drive. The Thar packs a powerful engine along with a variety of convenient features, which make it a good choice for adventurers. What stands out is its durability, reliability and affordability, however the long waiting period is the real issue. The Mahindra Thar is a great SUV that meets its purpose without any compromise.

    shan of india 

    My cousin recently purchased the Mahindra Thar and took me for a spin. While its rugged style and off-road capabilities impressed me, the fuel efficiency left something to be desired. The manual transmission felt smooth, and the all-wheel drive provided excellent traction on rough terrain. However, in urban settings, its bulky build made parking a challenge. Despite its shortcomings in mileage and city maneuverability, the Thar shines on highways and off-road adventures, making it a great choice for adventurous souls.
