The Mahindra Thar is reminiscent of the age-old sturdy Jeep that villagers in India used for many years. This new one is however revived with many changes still keeping the retro look intact. Ever since its first showcase in the 2010 Auto Expo the car has attracted a lot of prospective buyers, especially enthusiasts. It is the first car from Mahindra to get an oil-burner BS IV CRDe engine and a soft-top. The car comes in three variants DI 4x2, DI 4x4 and the CRDe 4x4 with AC.
The new completely redesigned face-lift comes with more rugged aesthetics. The shock and awe is not just limited to the exterior but manages to define the interior as well. With new features like beefier bumpers, re-designed wheel arches and other trim options, which have been made available in the new model, Thar definitely demonstrates attention to detail and improved quality. The Thar also participates in self-branding, which definitely helps it gain a more iconic street presence.
All the models of the new Thar come with Chunky 235/70R16 tyres like its predecessor. The DI engine options have been fitted with the Steel Rims and the the CRDE top end model is loaded with Alloy Wheels.
