The new Mahindra Thar is not only much more sophisticated than the model it replaces, but the new model is leaps and bounds ahead in terms of safety with a 4-star safety rating from Global-NCAP. The Mahindra Thar is powered by two engine options, the 2.2-litre diesel engine puts out 130 bhp and 300 Nm of torque, whereas the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit produces 150 bhp and 320 Nm of torque. The Mahindra Thar is available in 2 trim levels and 6 colour options. Apart from that, the new Mahindra Thar offers a shift-on-fly four-wheel-drive system and a choice of manual and automatic gearboxes.
