Mahindra Thar - Built to Rule the Rough
Real freedom lies in wilderness, not civilization. -Charles Lindnergh, American Aviator
This quote perhaps best describes the feeling of being behind the wheel of a Mahindra Thar car. The freedom of being on the open road and then finding roads less travelled — dirt roads, country roads, no roads. To just drive without a destination in mind, soaking in the journey and stopping when you can’t go on anymore, for the Thar will want to keep going, mile after mile, mountain after mountain, river crossing after river crossing.
The Mahindra Thar has always been a favourite of those looking for a well-rounded lifestyle/adventure vehicle. In its latest avatar, it’s more feature-loaded and carries several small updates that make it more practical even for daily use. What’s even better is the latest Mahindra Thar price, which makes the SUV more accessible. The base models are more affordable than before. However, the top models still cost quite a bit. The Mahindra Thar on road price differs across cities because of the difference in taxes and insurance. In return, you get bold styling, removable roof or hard-top, and serious off-road features. The Mahindra Thar jeep's mileage is acceptable given its size and capability.
<p>The new Mahindra Thar price in India starts at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base 1.5-litre diesel rear-wheel-drive manual version. The higher variants of the Mahindra Thar 4x4 drivetrain, <a href="https://www.cars24.com/new-cars/search-by/automatic-cars/">automatic transmission</a>, and 2.2-litre diesel goes upto ₹16.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Given that range, the Mahindra Thar price gives flexibility: you can go basic or go all in. Compared to many rugged SUVs, the base Mahindra Thar price makes it relatively approachable. But when you check the premium trims, you feel the cost of Thar rise. Still, if you want a good mix of off-road and on-road use, the cost of Mahindra Thar hits the sweet spot.<br><br>The Mahindra Thar on-road price will be higher than the ex-showroom figures because it includes registration, insurance, accessories, handling charges and local taxes. So, when you see the tag for the Mahindra Thar price, remember its ex-showroom Thar rate. The take-away cost of Thar in India is the on-road price. Budgeting properly helps avoid surprises when you take delivery.</p>
<p>The Thar lifestyle off-roader sees up to ₹90,000 GST benefit. For enthusiasts who want rugged looks and weekend fun, the lower price nudges this iconic model closer to many buyers.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.cars24.com/new-cars/mahindra/thar/specifications/">Mahindra Thar specifications</a> highlight how serious the new Thar car is for buyers looking for both a fun and a practical off-roader. Meanwhile, the Mahindra Thar price reflects this capability and the rugged build. </p><p> </p><p>Here are key specifications of the Mahindra Thar SUV to give you a clear idea of what it offers:<br> </p><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Specification</td><td>Details</td></tr><tr><td>Engine options</td><td>2.0-litre turbo-petrol / 2.2-litre diesel / 1.5-litre diesel</td></tr><tr><td>Max Power</td><td>150 PS (petrol) / 130 PS (diesel)</td></tr><tr><td>Max Torque</td><td>300-320 Nm</td></tr><tr><td>Transmission</td><td>6-speed manual / 6-speed automatic</td></tr><tr><td>Drivetrain</td><td>RWD and optional 4×4</td></tr><tr><td>Length × Width × Height</td><td>3990 mm × 1820 mm × 1890 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Ground Clearance</td><td>226 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Seating Capacity</td><td>4-5 seats (depending on body style)</td></tr><tr><td>Wheelbase</td><td>Approx 2450 mm</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>
<p>The Mahindra Thar offers many modern features. These features come together to make the SUV more comfortable and practical for daily use. The cabin now feels more refined than older models as the Thar SUV offers better tech and convenience features.<br> </p><p>Key Features of new Mahindra Thar jeep:<br> </p><ul><li>10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay</li><li>Removable hard-top or convertible soft-top (in some versions)</li><li>Rear AC vents, USB ports for rear passengers</li><li>Adventure-focused display with tyre-direction monitoring, altitude and off-road stats</li><li>Dual-tone exterior paint options, new LED lighting</li><li>Steering-mounted controls, cruise control, multi-info display</li></ul>
<p>Safety is important in any vehicle. However, it becomes more necessary for vehicles built for off-road as well as on-road use. The <a href="https://www.cars24.com/new-cars/mahindra/thar/safety-rating/">Mahindra Thar offer several safety features</a> that work together to offer high protection. These are in accordance with the top variant Mahindra Thar price:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Multiple airbags (driver, passenger, side, curtain)</li><li>ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Control (ESC)</li><li>Hill-hold and hill-descent controls (in 4×4 versions)</li><li>ISOFIX child-seat mounts, rear parking sensors and camera</li><li>Strong ladder-frame chassis and high ground clearance for off-road safety</li><li>Tyre pressure monitoring, side-impact bars</li></ul>
<p>While the old Thar was all about being rugged and extremely utilitarian, making for quite an uncomfortable ride, the new Thar shows that you can have an extremely capable off-roader on a budget while being a good commuter as well. The front seats are roomy and you won’t have trouble finding a good driving position. The suspension soaks up bumps well and you’ll find yourself gliding over smaller potholes and speed bumps rather than slowing down. The AC also works well, and does a good job of keeping the cabin cool in both the soft and hard top variants. One drawback are the rear seats — they just aren’t great for long journeys. The underthigh support is poor and the rear in general is quite a cramped space to be in, especially if there are taller passengers in the front seats. A family car this is not. But then, there are some adventures you want to take on either solo or just a plus one, so make of that what you will. If nothing else, you have more room for luggage. </p>
<p>The Mahindra Thar competes in a niche segment of off-road styled SUVs. The only direct rivals include the <a href="https://www.cars24.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/jimny/">Maruti Suzuki Jimny</a> and Force Gurkha. Compared to these, the new Mahindra Thar price in India is competitive and its feature list and brand support are strong. While more compact SUVs might cost less, none offer quite the same off-road credentials. For buyers looking for a lifestyle and off-road utility vehicle, the Thar stands out.</p>
<p>No vehicle is perfect, and the Thar is no exception. Hence, one needs to decide if he should buy after considering every advantage and disadvantage of the SUV. Here’s a simple list of what’s good and what could be better about the Thar:<br> </p><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Pros</strong></td><td><strong>Cons</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Bold look and high off-road capability</td><td>Higher Mahindra Thar on road price, especially for 4×4 automatic versions</td></tr><tr><td>Good feature set and tech for its class</td><td>Small boot</td></tr><tr><td>Strong brand and resale value</td><td>Accessing rear seats can be a task for the well-built/aged occupants. </td></tr><tr><td>Ride can feel firm on rough city roads</td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table></figure>
<p>The Mahindra Thar is for everyone with a thirst for adventure, but will also be a great companion to those who just want the driving dynamics of an SUV in the city and don’t want something as big as a Mahindra Scorpio or <a href="https://www.cars24.com/new-cars/tata/harrier/">Tata Harrier</a>. </p><p> </p><p>The Thar is designed more for adventure than for everyday family use. The Thar is perfect for a cozy road trip with two to three adults. The Thar truly comes alive on those expansive, open roads, where it can really show off its capabilities. For people who want adventure in addition to their regular ride, it's the best option. It is a car that pushes you to go the extra mile, to explore new territories and make new memories.</p>
