I have amaze and kwid both, amaze should have been my primary car and kwid secondary but it's the other way around, kwid has 184mm ground clearance (Renault somehow shared the details 😊😊) and shorten wheel base, despite of having less power and okish tyres it's fun to drive and I have literally did some stupid things with it. (Including jumping over dividers 😊), Kwid is thar for me, According to me SUVs are not for India, smaller hatchbacks and sedans just do fine.

Mahindra has played it clever. Even if you don’t like the vehicle, every time you name it you end up praising it “THAR ROXX”.

[@JosephBrittosk8r]

Just back from a sweet 35 km cycle ride on a cloudy Sunday morning at Chennai. Came home to this. What a Sunday

[@motorinc]

Noice!

[@museycal]

It's confusing that Mahindra does the engineering so well, like for the Roxx they actually developed the new and better chassis, and yet they choose to stick with the Wrangler design. I get the shared Jeep history point, but in this day and age, the Thar and Roxx both look derivative of an international car, which seems like a disservice to all the engineering and capabilities underneath their bodyshells!

[@motorinc]

Well said M! Well said!

[@oldbot64]

Well the sales speak for themselves

[@subhojitpaul8280]

Tum body shape pe hi sab discussion kar lo..if it's capable and within a reasonable price (in the Indian scenario), what's the problem if it looks similar to a certain (very appealing, butch) (successful) international design? Btw, if you have driven the wrangler, you should know that at it's price point it's a shitty on road tourer and less reliable than (almost) any Mahindra..

[@vigneshram5237]

The sales show the love we have for design... and we don't have that many wranglers on indian roads to compare

[@Michael-Angh]

That's what am talking yaar. I must mention, Toyota Land cruiser also derived from Willys Jeep and Nissan Patrol too but in case of Mahindra they still choose to copy 😂. They won't give no credit nor royalties to Jeep I'm pretty sure.

Hi @kirankumarmrjain, we'd suggest that you take test drives of the Baleno as well as the Brezza. You can go with whichever the one you like better. If you can compromise a little bit on the features, the HyRyder can also be a good choice. Get back to us if you have more questions after the test drives.

[@sahilhakani5220]

I wanted to buy the cheapest variant of the 3 door thar with the 4x4 version. The dealer said this Variant isn't manufactured by Mahindra anymore since it has been discontinued (It exists on the Mahindra website and also the pricing sheet that the showroom has. I saw it there on the list. But the sales person keeps insisting that it has discontinued. ) So either Mahindra forgot to take it off the website(less likely) Or It is a Variant for purely 1 reason which is to get you to the showroom not something they want to sell. (This is more likely) I decided to not bother with this confusion and politics. And got the jimny. Which has 2 variants. Only 2 sensible variants. And almost zero headache

[@motorinc]

You two are hands down the best motor journalists in India. Among all the noise online, you’re the only ones I actually want to watch. Your reviews perfectly balance being informative and entertaining, with just the right mix of humor and honesty. Please keep it up! What I appreciate most is how you never shy away from the facts. In this video, the part about DNA and borrowing from history really speaks volumes-especially how you highlighted the strong hold of that history, preventing progress from moving forward freely. It reminded me of Royal Enfield-the years of mediocre production and now finally seeing them evolve feels great. I do have one question and I’m sure the fanboys might come for me, but here goes-why don’t they offer a higher, more expensive variant with four-wheel disc brakes? Why stick with drum brakes? Is it purely to keep costs down or is the braking power sufficient as it is?

[@motorinc]

Thanks OMT! Much appreciated! Drum brakes = cost, always.

[@venomhunter93]

Informative video. How do I put honestly? 🤔 Just a curiosity. Why Motor Inc doesn't discuss luxury cars and two wheelers? Like the Audi, BMW and above. I guess the most expensive car discussed is Safari? And the Aprilia 457(If I'm not wrong) Not a criticism. I'm totally happy with your contents (that's the only reason for the membership) But just wanted to understand your perspective on why luxury automobiles were not discussed in the Channel

[@motorinc]

Buying and Living with luxury vehicles is a whole new perspective. We did make content on Audi and Volvo. We intent to address luxury vehicles in time.

Heart wants to believe that the ultimate Indian lifestyle vehicle has now finally upgraded and modernised itself to a level where it can be used as a family vehicle / the 1st vehicle in the garrage. Mind knows it's yet not a practical/ only car garrage option. 💔 Mind also ponders towards thinking what on earth would stop MnM to create a lifestyle vehicle + a super comfy and non rigid chasis (like the ones in the 7 double o😋) how difficult is it for an international conglomerate to upgrade the thar to a level where it ticks all major boxes . A heart broken 3 door thar owner who finally sold of his thar out frustration and (the obvious n number of modifications and attempts to make the beast highway friendly😂💔) This car is a perfect (cool neighbour's) car.

Re: Ladder Frame handling, how did you rate the Isuzu VCross ?

[@pradymori]

I drove both petrol automatic AX7L and Diesel manual AX7L in two different dealerships… I’m just sharing my views… 1. Petrol automatic is really fun to drive car - mileage is definitely a concern… if money is not a criteria it’s the best… Drive in city and highway is super cool… 2. Diesel has that power you need in any situation… engine noise is very less.. Pros: Good suspension Visibility Feature loaded Value for money Comfort in rear seat is excellent Road presence (Definitely a head turner ❤) Braking Ambience inside the car Easy to drive (both manual and automatic) Luggage space At this price point personally I don’t prefer creta and seltos for 25 lakhs which has low safety… Excellent build quality Good engine definitely… Cons: Small bottle holders Mileage in city (to prefer diesel manual if mileage is a concern) Ingress and outgress for aged family members (once you’re in it’s very comfortable) Overall - no car is 100% perfect… Select according to your priority… This is a perfect car for someone who’s bored looking at creta for many years on the road… now a days every apartment has more cretas than any other cars… Definitely an everyday car if you are used to it… else go for other cars.. These are my honest observations.. ❤

Regarding the creta ubiquity, its true unless you live in Chandigarh I see more black Thars here than Altos really

[@shadowstormable]

Having driven Isuzu D-Max V-Cross for over 70k in the last 3 years - Thar Roxx is driving beautifully. Also having gotten used to that driving position, that feel - sitting in Creta, and for that matter even the Tucson which I test drove recently - makes me feel uncomfortable. As for driving position, keep in mind all your bodies are different. For me there was enough space in the driver's seat for me to be comfortable - I am 6'2in. The lesson for me is these reviews let me learn 80% about a car. The last 20% is up to you. Go and test drive the car! There is no other way.

Few days back I felt that all these suvs, thar, thar roxx, jimny, Gurkha doesn't have a water bottle holder on doors why is it so ? why is it hard to give a bottle holder and charging points in a car or suv?

[@motorinc]

😐

[@lawrencekerketta0901]

Wonderful video, therapy ❤

[@motorinc]

🙏🏾

[@amanjotsingh2812]

46:03 this is such a good observation

[@vijayakumars5367]

Well, finally the review is fully completed with @MotorInc. Yeah, everything is discussed but, didn't touched it's core part, the off-road capability. Could you people please share a video or shorts about the off-road capability and experience on both 4x4 and 4x2, well why 4x2 I'm asking here is they're not ready to give 4x4 in their petrol engines 👀, thankyou in advance.

[@garage-n-guitar]

The analogy of the kid and engineers, that started with the name, lasted almost till the end and every time it was so perfect.😂..jhakaas tha..!! Wishing Mahindra a whole lot of success.

[@motorinc]

Thank you for joining us @garae-n-guitar

[@ontheroad8149]

I think its the addition of the FSD from the XUV700 that makes it pliant, plus being taller and wider

[@alburaq3290]

All these criticisms of body on frame chassis sound valid. Do they also apply to MPVs like Innova Crysta? Innova is known as a people mover and extremely comfortable for highway cruising.

[@motorinc]

Yes, the Crysta also has those traits. But, it’s got more control in some areas which helps make it comfy.

[@nithishnair8037]

Hey MotorInc! I was riding through Chakan a couple of days ago and saw this wrapped up Mahindra 'Tata Curvv' car, like an XUV sedan. I have a 20 second footage of it, and wanted to share it with you guys

[@motorinc]

Thanks Nithish! We don't track future releases closely and we won't participate in speculation. So thank you for thinking of us, but we're going to decline.

[@sush8642]

I love you guys!!! Absolutely love your videos!🙏🏼❤️

[@motorinc]

Hey Sush ❤️!

[@ajayadhiya2010]

Excellent note, perceptive, level-headed...it rocked...😅

[@motorinc]

Glad you liked it!

[@motormoksh]

Today I took test drive of Thar Roxx Petrol automatic variant and Scorpio N Z08L variant… I ended up booking Z08L. I am 5.10 for reference and for me the footwell of Thar was bit cramped and left knee kept on brushing with the console, which will tire me over a period of time as I tour a lot in my car than city driving. And yes both of them got pentalink suspension but it is Scorpio N which rolled lot lesser than Thar. I haven’t felt much change in driving dynamics from Thar to Thar Roxx as I drive a Thar 4x4 at times. Thar roxx is good but definitely not for me and yes as per my experience the suspension doesn’t make the car family friendly as reported by co passengers while test driving Thar roxx. So do take a test ride before deciding onto anything as the driving experience differs from person to person.

[@motorinc]

Thanks MM! Appreciate the feedback…

[@GamerFreefire-w4h]

Would you say jimny is on par with the roxx on comfort? Would it serve as a better second car as compared to roxx?

[@dr.pushpakmali5261]

Sir don't mind but jimny is bot the second car. It is just off roader Maruti did everything to tell that it is car but it os not but you will love it if you go where no one goes with her.

[@0Abhiram-Vinod]

Some Of the Driveshots That You've Presented, Is It in Kochi Vallarpadam NH966A?

[@vzvish]

Hi Motorinc Eagerly waiting for your take on other latest offering by Mahindra - BSA Gold Star 650 😊

[@motorinc]

Noted! Thanks!

[@vzvish]

@@motorinc thanks😊

[@gyroscopingaroundtheworld]

Hi guys Love your work and really appreciate what you guys are doing! I just got a new Thar Roxx, and i got it in MX5 2wd variant. I'm a farmer, and live at a farm. I have a Force Gurkha bs3 as well, and its been exceptionally rare that ive put in the 4 wheel drive. Infact, i would say its only ever been a deliberate choice to put the car in such a position where the 4wd has been needed. I have a river crossing in the middle of my farm ( if you guys so wish, you're most welcome to come bike around) and yup, ive witnessed Lord Altos crossing when its fordable. So how many people really need the added complexity and additional failure points of a 4wd transfer case when they would most likely never have any use for it? Especially at a 1.5 lakh premium? And at a longer wheelbase? The biggest threat to offroading where i am is getting beached! I think the 4wd will be all very very niche real life use cases or purchasing with a mistaken regard vis a vis real world need.

[@abhinavtiwari2003]

Just nailed it. You guys give the most detailed review in terms of practicality, tech and performance in such a smooth way that it makes feel to just keep on listening. Awesome 👍👍

[@motorinc]

Thanks so much Abhinav!

[@atinbose6933]

@MotorInc , One suggestion as a designer - Please use sentence case (instead of all upper case) for the on-screen text. Especially for text heavy chunks, it reads a lot easier on the eye. :)

[@motorinc]

Thanks for the suggestion @atinbose6933

[@motorinc]

Feedback noted! Will pass this is on the team, Atin. Thanks!

[@imkrrishnayak]

schumi has crzy humor which just makes these interesting converstions more engaging to watch!

Here's indeed a bold and intriguing thought! The idea of Tata and Mahindra, two of India’s most iconic automotive brands, entering into a strategic partnership similar to Suzuki and Toyota would be a game-changer for the Indian automobile landscape. Both companies have established themselves in their respective domains, with Tata making strong strides in road-focused vehicles and Mahindra excelling in the SUV segment. A collaboration could potentially lead to a powerful synergy that combines their individual expertise and resources. Imagine Tata sharing its prowess in passenger cars, EV technology, and affordable innovation, while Mahindra contributes its SUV leadership, off-road expertise, and premium vehicle technologies. Such a partnership could allow each brand to double down on their strengths, create a well-diversified portfolio, and offer an unmatched range of vehicles to consumers. This could also mean reduced development costs, more rapid product launches, and shared technological advancements. If this were to happen, the combined entity would not only dominate the Indian market but also pose a significant challenge to global players. Their complementary product lines could capture an even larger share of both urban and adventure-focused consumers. Moreover, with the global push towards EVs and sustainable mobility, this hypothetical partnership could become a technological powerhouse capable of leading the charge for India’s automotive future. However, beyond the technical and product synergies, such an alliance would hinge on trust, similar to the Suzuki-Toyota relationship, which is not just about profits but a shared vision. Mahindra and Tata would have to navigate potential competition between their brands, manage corporate cultures, and ensure the partnership benefits both without eroding their individual brand identities. But if they can pull it off, this would be one of the most fascinating collaborations in the automotive industry, possibly propelling Indian carmakers to new heights on the global stage. It’s a crazy idea, but sometimes it’s these audacious visions that spark innovation!

[@madhav5352]

have a slow zoom while summarising, every now and then. Love ❤

[@motorinc]

Gotcha!

[@kapilp6499]

Great Talk as always! Lovely Presentation! Information ASMR! Quick question out of context. The intro. At 0:01 when the title " FIRST THING FIRST" comes first, the shift to a lighter grey, is it intentional?

[@gokulbala3096]

As per roxx brochure,ESP and other safety features like hill hold are standard across all variants...

[@tanmaysai5961]

Considering swapping my 2021 Dark Edition Harrier for a Roxx guys, thanks for the video. Do let me know what you guys think about it too if you ever see this comment! Big fan - thanks again!

[@motorinc]

Thanks for joining us @tanmaysai5961! But why swap them? Is it that you like the Roxx more or are you facing issues with the Harrier? And here's our review of the Harrier: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpO5d5d6jMmea9E

[@tanmaysai5961]

@motorinc omg! Thanks for replying MotorInc. To start with, most of the 2021 owners got absolutely ripped off with the features that came in with the 2022 above cars. My car hardly doing a total of 30,000 kilometres in 3 and a half years has had many visits to the service centre. From power steering leaks, to manufacturing defects and the fact that the service bills are sky high. Also, they have dinged up my car pretty badly! Swapping from the XUV5OO X-Clusive to this Harrier quintessentially became my biggest mistake despite the car being great in its own ways. Thanks for the link, once I finish binge watching your first impressions videos I have in my queue list, I’ll be sure to check the Harrier review out! 🙌
