In the Indian automotive landscape, the Mahindra Thar stands out, particularly in the off-roading segment. Its commanding presence and tough design have made it a popular choice for a wide audience, including adventure enthusiasts. In a piece of good news, Mahindra has announced price reductions for the Thar following a GST cut.
Substantial Price Reduction
Mahindra has declared a GST discount of up to ₹1.35 lakh on the Thar. Moreover, customers can enjoy additional benefits of up to ₹20,000. This results in total savings of around ₹1.55 lakh for buyers. Following these cuts, the Mahindra Thar’s starting ex-showroom price is now ₹10.32 lakh. This offer is especially appealing to those who have long been considering purchasing this iconic SUV.
Distinctive Design and Striking Appearance
The Mahindra Thar is recognized for its boxy, muscular look. Key features such as high ground clearance, rugged bumpers, substantial alloy wheels, and a wide stance boost its powerful look. Available with both hard-top and soft-top options, it caters to different preferences. The Thar’s performance shines not only in urban environments but also on challenging terrains, including mountain roads and off-road trails.
Loaded with Modern Features
The Thar is designed as more than an off-roading SUV; it is a modern lifestyle vehicle, equipped with several advanced features. These include a touchscreen infotainment system compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Furthermore, features such as cruise control, steering-mounted controls, and automatic climate control contribute to a more comfortable driving experience.
Engine and Drivetrain Details
The Mahindra Thar offers two engine options: a 2.0-liter turbo petrol engine and a 2.2-liter diesel engine. Both engines are coupled with 6-speed manual and automatic gearboxes. With off-roading in mind, it includes a 4×4 drivetrain, a low-range transfer case, and a high-performance suspension system, which ensures superior performance on all types of roads.
