Yes, you heard that right. The first 500 deliveries were based on the immediate rush from the start when the vehicle was showcased. In addition to the delayed deliveries, Mahindra has also discontinued the base variant AX of the Thar. Yes, the 6-seater version available for both petrol and diesel engines is now discontinued. It was the most affordable Thar to own.
Mahindra also claims that with the mega deliveries they will be conducting, the bookings of most units are for the Hard Top version of petrol and diesel engines. The new Thar has remarkably improved from its last generation in terms of engine, refinement levels, features and more.
Under the hood, the new Thar gets a 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel and a 2.0-litre petrol engine. The oil burner makes 130 PS with a peak torque of 300 Nm while the petrol makes 150 PS and a higher torque of 320 Nm. Both the engines get mated to a 6-speed manual and an optional 6-speed auto gearbox.
