Mahindra & Mahindra has gifted a brand new Mahindra Thar SUV to Nikhat Zareen for winning the 2023 IBA Women's World Boxing Championship. Zareen participated in the flyweight category and defeated the Vietnamese boxer Nguyễn Thị Tâm to clinch Gold in the category.

Nikhat Zareen is also the second Indian female boxer to have more than one gold medal at the world level after MC Mary Kom. This makes Nikhat Zareen one of the greatest women boxers from India to this date.

Speaking about the Mahindra Thar, the off-road focussed SUV is offered with three engine options in India. The most affordable variant features a 1.5-litre, turbocharged diesel engine with 117bhp and 300Nm of torque.

To keep the prices aggressive, the Thar SUV with this powertrain comes exclusively in RWD layout and sports a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard. However, this model looks identical to the 4WD variants.
