The Mahindra Thar 3-door is powered by a versatile range of engines designed to conquer both city streets and rugged trails. The 2.0-litre mStallion turbo petrol engine delivers a punchy 150 PS of power, making it a favorite for those who enjoy a responsive and refined drive. For hardcore off-roaders, the 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine offers 130 PS and 300 Nm of torque, providing the necessary low-end grunt to tackle steep inclines and muddy paths. Additionally, the 1.5-litre diesel engine is available in Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) configurations, offering an accessible and fuel-efficient option for lifestyle users.
With its iconic boxy silhouette and compact dimensions, the Thar 3-door is built for agility. It features a short wheelbase of 2450 mm, which allows for exceptional break-over angles during off-roading. The vehicle stands tall with a ground clearance of 226 mm and a water-wading depth of 650 mm, ensuring it can handle extreme terrains that would stop most other SUVs. The latest facelift introduces a Roxx-inspired front grille and LED lighting, giving it a more modern and premium look while maintaining its legendary "Jeep-inspired" heritage.
Safety and technology have received significant upgrades in the latest Thar iteration. The SUV features a new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless smartphone connectivity and real-time off-road telemetry. In terms of protection, the Thar continues to hold a solid 4-star safety rating from Global NCAP. It comes equipped with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with roll-over mitigation, and ISOFIX child seat mounts as standard. Higher trims now also feature a rear-view camera and tyre pressure monitoring for added convenience and security.
