No challenge to new Thaar as it's the one all waiting n it's real upgrade from Mahindra.
Driving is superb n you don't fill like you are driving 2k cc SUV in city... Simply awesome experience. It's not offroading now but daily use car.
Only issue is pricing... Overpriced as you have many options with these pricing like Creta/Seltos/Harrier/Hector even XUV 500
