  • Mahindra Thar is currently available with discounts till 3 Lakhs and short waiting period of up to 3 months.
Mahindra Thar is available with 19 variants in three engine options and three trim levels.

Mahindra Thar has been one of the most popular SUVs in India since its introduction. The three-door lifestyle off-roader received a five-door version in the form of the Mahindra Thar Rocks a few months ago, but that didn't take away from the appeal of the three-door Thar. Since its launch, Thar has been in high demand, with barely any offers or discounts and the longest waiting period in the line-up. But, with the launch of the Thar Rocks, there have been some major changes in the marketing of its three-door sibling, which is actually making the deals better for consumers.

After significantly reducing the waiting period of Mahindra Thar, the domestic auto giant is now offering Discount of Rs 3 lakh on SUV. Interestingly, the amount can be increased further depending on the negotiation skills of the customer. Mahindra Thar Earth Edition, which was introduced as a special edition earlier this year, comes with maximum mileage.

Available in both 4×4 and 4×2 drivetrain layout options, the SUV is priced between 11.35 lakh more Rs 17.60 lakh (ex-showroom), the Mahindra Thar now has a waiting period of up to three months, which is significantly lower than before the launch of the Thar Rocks.

Mahindra Thar: waiting period

There is now a waiting period of up to three months on the 4×4 variants of the Mahindra Thar SUV. Available in both soft-top and hardtop options, the latter has a waiting period of up to three months for the petrol variant, while the diesel model comes with a waiting period of up to two months. The soft-top convertible variant commands a waiting period of up to three months for both petrol and diesel engine variants. There is a waiting period of up to two months for both petrol and diesel engine models of the Mahindra Thar 4×2 variant.

Mahindra Thar: What powers the SUV?

Mahindra Thar 4×4 is available in two engine options. There is also a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.2-litre diesel motor. Both these engines are available with transmission options of a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed torque converter automatic unit. The petrol engine produces a maximum power of 150 bhp, while the diesel motor produces a maximum power of 130 bhp.

Mahindra Thar 4×2, on the other hand, is available with a 1.5-litre diesel engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox as standard. There is also a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine available, which is shared with the 4×4 variant. The diesel engine generates maximum power of 116 bhp and maximum torque of 300 Nm. This diesel engine gets a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, while the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol motor is only offered with a six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
