Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Thar Roxx AX7L at ₹19.52L or the Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid at ₹19.99L, the Thar Roxx leaving ₹0.47L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.47L more for the Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid: all-wheel disc brakes and head-up display. The useful extras on top: powered driver seat (8-way against 6-way) and auto-folding wing mirrors. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Thar Roxx AX7L is the strongest of the two at 152 PS
- Also on the Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid: regenerative braking, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid, you give up level 2 (core suite) ADAS, blind spot monitor and hill descent control, which the Thar Roxx AX7L keeps
- Choose the Mahindra Thar Roxx AX7L if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.47L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder V Hybrid if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
