Mahindra Thar is the most popular lifestyle off-roading SUV in our country and its build quality has impressed us in real-life incidents.
The latest video has emerged where a Mahindra Thar breaks the wall of a shop. Thar boasts a decent 4-star safety rating at the Global NCAP. It is the most popular SUV in the lifestyle off-road category in our market. Ever since the current version of the Thar was launched, it has been selling like hotcakes. Now, Maruti has launched the Jimny in 5-door guise to challenge the popularity of the Thar. But the rugged build quality of the Thar has wooed customers for a long time and it is not yet confirmed if the Jimny will be able to offer that.

What We Think
We lose thousands of lives on roads each year. Most of these accidents happen due to carelessness and people refusing to follow the traffic rules that are designed to keep them safe. It is high time we start appreciating and following these traffic regulations so that our roads become safer than they are. Also, overspeeding continues to be the major cause of road crashes. Therefore, make sure to discourage such behaviour around yourself and report people who are doing it to the authorities. Let us pledge to become responsible drivers.
