What’s New in the Mahindra Thar
At first glance, the Thar retains its rugged and rugged look, but a closer look reveals several small but significant changes. The radiator grille is now finished in body color, and the bumper features silver trim, creating a dual-tone look. While the alloy wheels retain the same design, the rear section now features a parking camera, rear washer, and wiper.
For convenience, the option to open the fuel lid from the driver’s seat has also been added. The Thar will also be available in two new colors: Tango Red and Battleship Gray.
How’s the cabin?
Inside, the cabin has received several updates that make it more practical and modern. Getting in and out of the car is now easier thanks to pillar-mounted grab handles. The power window switches have been relocated to the door panels, making it more intuitive and convenient to use.
Some features from the 5-door model Thar Rocks have been carried over here as well, such as a new steering wheel (though not leather-wrapped), a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a sliding front armrest, and rear AC vents. Notably, this touchscreen also has a feature called ‘Adventure Stats’ that displays parameters like altitude, bank angle, pitch, and yaw angle, which will prove to be quite exciting for off-roading enthusiasts.
Engine and Performance
Mahindra has also released a new variant line-up for the updated Thar 3-door. The SUV will now be available with different engine and drivetrain combinations. The company offers a choice of a 1.5L diesel (D117 CRDe), a 2.2L mHawk diesel, and a 2.0L mStallion petrol engine. Gearbox options include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. Prices for the new Thar start at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top-spec variant, going up to ₹16.99 lakh (ex-showroom). See the prices of all variants.
