Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives

Mahindra Thar

  • Looks modern with tweaked styling and improved interiors. Drivetrain includes petrol
  • diesel and automatic options. 4x4 is standard. Washable interiors are a nice touch. New RWD variant drops the entry price.

Tata Punch

  • The Punch is a good mix of a hatchback and an SUV. Impressive cabin quality
  • clever customization options make it even more appealing. It also focuses on useful features. Reveived a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating.

Mahindra Thar

  • Mechanical rear locking differential only on the AX (Adventure) trim.

Tata Punch

  • No diesel engine option. The 1.2L engine lacks the punch for ease of use on highway or when fully loaded.

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which car is best between Punch and Exter?
  • Both cars are good in their own forte. Tata Punch is good for city commutes but out on the highway, it lacks outright power which stops it from being versatile. Other than that it is hard to flaw this impressive car. It is spacious and comfortable, it is pretty well loaded and thanks to the option packs, even the lower variants can be customized to your requirements. On the other hand, the Exter knows its audience well and that makes the job easier for us. It gets a lot of things right, like the cabin experience, space, practicality, comfort, ease of drive, and boot space. And the features list is so good that it will be very hard to beat it in under Rs 10 lakh. The Hyundai Exter’s suspension balance is a sensible one. Given that it is going to spend most of its kilometres in the city, the suspension is set up on the softer side. We drove the Exter over bumpy roads, off the road and on the broken roads – and we can say that the suspension is very balanced. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

    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.

    Tata Punch - small and powerful performer 

    For our recent trip to Rishikesh, we decided to take the Tata Punch and it proved to be a powerful little performer. The 1.2 liter Revotron petrol engine with 86 PS and 113 Nm torque handled the hill roads well. Despite its compact size, the high ground clearance of 187 mm helped us navigate through rough patches easily.The infotainment system and spacious cabin made the long drive comfortable, although the engine does get a bit noisy on highways.

    setting a benchmark 

    A gorgeous looking four wheeler model, with an enough capacity for five members, the Tata Punch ranges from an affordable range. Transmission type is automatic, making it easier to drive. Best part about it is that it has a NCAP rating of 5. This adds much credibility to the model. Height is convenient and the ground clearance is also good. The quality and comfort levels are unmatchable.

    Tata Punch: Small Yet Mighty With Minor Flaws 

    As a Tata Punch owner I am generally pleased with this compact powerhouse. Opting for the Punch mainly for city commuting its dimensions are perfect for squeezing through tight spots and parking in limited spaces. Comfortable seats and decent cabin space make daily commutes quite enjoyable.However on the downside the boot space at 319 liters is a bit restrictive if you are planning a trip with family. Fuel efficiency is reasonable at around 18.97 km/l but competing models offer a bit more. Still for city dwellers looking for a compact SUV the Punch is a capable competitor.
