Latest On Mahindra Thar

Last Updated On 3rd May’23:  Mahindra has once again increased the prices for the Thar SUV. This hike happened in April and the amount is as much as Rs 1.05 lakh for the LX diesel MT model. Following it is the AX (O) Hard Top Diesel MT RWD which has seen a hike of Rs 55,000. Additionally, the rest of the variants have undergone a standard price hike of Rs 28,200. A part of the hiked amount is also due to the latest BS6 Phase 2 norms.

Mahindra Thar Rivals: Mahindra Thar rivals the likes of Maruti Jimny and Force Gurkha.

Mahindra Thar Variants: The Mahindra Thar was originally launched in three main versions of AX, AX Opt and LX. However the AX entry level model has now been dropped. Thankfully, with the diesel engine, both the AX Opt and LX can be bought with both soft top (convertible) as well as hard top roofs. For those looking at the petrol Thar, the AX opt will not offer a hard top and likewise the petrol LX convertible will only come with an automatic, not a manual. 

Mahindra Thar Engine: The new Thar is sold with both petrol and diesel engine options. Both the fuel types also get manual and automatic transmission choices. While the diesel unit is a 2184cc motor putting out 132 ps of power and 300 Nm of torque, the petrol engine is a smaller 1997cc unit. It makes 152 PS of power and 300 Nm for the MT gearbox and 320 Nm for the AT gearbox. Both the units are good at performance and smoothness. 

Mahindra Thar Price: It is presently priced between Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 16.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
