Mahindra Thar ROXX vs Hyundai Creta Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The Mahindra Thar ROXX starts at ₹12.39 L and the Hyundai Creta at ₹10.91 L, a difference of ₹1.48 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹1.64 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Mileage and running cost: The Mahindra Thar ROXX Diesel/Petrol Automatic/Manual is rated at 15.2 kmpl,12.4 kmpl and the Hyundai Creta Diesel/Petrol Automatic/Manual at 19.1 kmpl,17.7 kmpl. At 1,000 km a month, the Hyundai Creta saves you about ₹1.21 K a month and ₹14.51 K a year on fuel.

What one gives that the other does not: The Mahindra Thar ROXX adds Brake Assist, Blind Spot Camera, Hill Descent Control, Bharat NCAP Safety Rating and Bharat NCAP Child Safety Rating. The Hyundai Creta adds Anti-Theft Alarm, Door Ajar Warning, Anti-Theft Device, Rear Spoiler and Outside Rear View Mirror Turn Indicators. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the Hyundai Creta if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹1.48 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Mahindra Thar ROXX if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Mahindra Thar ROXX offers Brake Assist.

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
