Yes, diesel is generally more fuel-efficient than petrol. That is mainly because diesel fuel has higher energy density and diesel engines are typically more efficient, but that does not automatically make diesel the better ownership choice for everyone because diesel cars usually cost more, can have

Yes, the Mahindra Thar is worth buying if you specifically want rugged road presence, real off-road ability and a lifestyle SUV feel, but it is not the best buy if your priority is easy family access, boot practicality or everyday rear-seat comfort. Mahindra gives it proper SUV hardware, strong engi

It is not a simple or recommended upgrade. The Thar is factory-set up with rear drum brakes, and converting to rear discs would mean changing multiple components and can affect braking balance, ABS/ESC calibration, warranty and road-legal compliance if the parts are not manufacturer-approved.

In the Mahindra Thar, the main difference is ease versus control: the automatic is easier in city traffic and casual off-road driving, while the manual gives you more direct control and is usually the lower-priced option. Mahindra offers the Thar with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic choices dep

A Mahindra Thar will typically cover roughly 550 to 900 km on a full tank, depending on which engine and drive type you choose. The reason the range varies so much is that the Thar uses a 57-litre fuel tank, while published mileage figures differ a lot between petrol, diesel, 2WD and 4WD versions. I

Neither is simply better overall; the right choice depends on how you will use it. Pick the Mahindra Thar if you want a more rugged, lifestyle-focused SUV with stronger off-road character and available 4WD hardware. Pick the Jeep Compass if you want a more premium, more family-friendly SUV for regul

It can work for a small family, but the Mahindra Thar is not the most practical family car. Its 4-seat layout, 3-door body style and off-road-focused design make it better for couples or small families who value style and adventure more than rear-seat access and everyday convenience. If family comfo
