Mahindra Thar OG Review: The ₹16.42 Lakh Variant to Buy, and the Steering Trade-off First Drives Found
Oct 2, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- First mass-market Indian 7-seater SUV to score 5-star Global NCAP for adult occupants
- ADAS suite with forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, and lane keep assist available even on non-top trims
Worth knowing
- Diesel automatic top trims saw long waiting periods in several cities before discontinuation
- Discontinued in India as of 2026: the XUV700 no longer appears anywhere on Mahindra's official India site (auto.mahindra.com), which now lists only the Mahindra XUV 7XO (from Rs 13.99-25.94 lakh ex-showroom) in its place; new XUV700 units are not expected to be available at dealers
