Mahindra Thar vs Renault Duster Spec Comparison
Mahindra Thar was one of the hot launches in the car market in India in recent times. The company made a new Thar which was 2 generations better compared to the previous model. Renault Duster on the other hand which became much popular during its initial time is slowly losing its bling due to tough competition. Renault launched a new Turbo petrol engine to attract new customers, but it did not help much. Unchanged exteriors and interiors of the Renault Duster are a major drawback in the current times.

While the Mahindra Thar, is a slight premium over the Duster, it is a better choice for many people. If a 5-seater car is your main priority then the Renault Duster makes better sense. If occasional off-road trips are your thing, then the better ground clearance with the Mahindra Thar will go a long way. The Mahindra Thar also comes with 4×4 option from the base variant itself making it a true off-roader SUV. The Renault Duster on the other hand comes with FWD drivetrain.
