Mahindra Thar Insight Review
What We Like?
- Rugged, macho design with strong street and road presence.
- Offers more usable features and improved everyday convenience.
- Powerful and responsive turbo-petrol engine; refined performance.
- Available with petrol and diesel options plus 6-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
- Excellent off-road capability with shift-on-the-fly 4x4 and low range.
- Advanced tech: brake-based differential locking, auto-locking rear differential, and off-road gauges.
- Gets a large 10.25-inch touchscreen with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and built-in navigation.
- Better noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) control for a more refined drive.
What could have been better?
Limited boot space and rear-seat legroom feels cramped.
Petrol engine isn’t fuel-efficient and lacks engaging performance at high speeds.
Stiff ride quality; sharp bumps can unsettle the cabin.
Old-school ladder-frame setup causes noticeable body roll, even on mild curves.
Rear windows don’t open and thick B-pillars create side blind spots.
High-speed stability and overall driving feel are not very confidence-inspiring.
Cabin practicality and comfort fall short compared to modern compact SUVs.
Not an ideal choice for buyers seeking a more practical, feature-rich daily SUV.
