Mahindra Thar RWD Deliveries Commence – 18 Month Waiting Period

Mahindra recently launched the Thar RWD in India with an aggressive starting price of Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Now, the Indian automaker has started the deliveries of the much-awaited Thar RWD SUVs in the country.

Moreover, the newly introduced Mahindra Thar has received an overwhelming response from the target audience and the waiting period for the SUV extends more than 18 months. In comparison, the Thar 4X4 has a waiting period of just under 4 weeks.

Despite the high demand, bookings for the Mahindra Thar RWD is currently open and interested customers can book the Thar RWS for just Rs 10,000. However, it is worth mentioning that the introductory prices on the Thar RWD is applicable only for the first 10,000 bookings.

Speaking about the new Mahindra Thar RWD, the model comes with two engine options. While the petrol engine is identical to Mahindra Thar 4X4, the diesel engine is a smaller 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged unit with 115bhp of peak power and 300Nm of peak torque. Furthermore, the diesel powertrain comes exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission, whereas the petrol model can be specified with an optional 6-speed automatic transmission as well.

In terms of design, Mahindra Thar RWD remains almost identical to its 4X4 variant. In fact, the new RWD variant of the Mahindra Thar SUV uses the same tyres and alloy wheels as its 4X4 counterpart. Other than that, all newer models of the Thar SUVs now get 6 colour options as well.

Other than that, the new Mahindra Thar RWD loses none of the rugged design elements such as the blackened bumpers, moulded footsteps, and wheel arches. In fact, it is very difficult to identify Thar RWD and Thar 4X4 even if both SUVs are parked near each other.

On the inside, the new Mahindra Thar RWD SUV continues to be identical to the Mahindra Thar 4X4 SUV. However, thanks to the absence of 4WD system, the RWD model does not sport the 4WD gear selector lever that is seen on the standard Thar 4X4.


Thoughts About The New Mahindra Thar RWD

Since many of Thar's customers are lifestyle buyers and may not require a locking differential or a four-wheel drive system, and as expected, the new Mahindra Thar RWD is doing exceptionally well in the Indian automobile market. Moreover, we also expect the waiting period for the SUV to reduce in the coming months.
