महिंद्रा थार एक्स्पर्ट रिव्यू

Now, we have covered all its details in our previous review, and are now back as you, our readers, had asked us, 'Kitna deti hai'? Yes, what's the real-world fuel efficiency? So, we’ve put the hard-top version of the Thar in its top-spec LX four-seater version through CarWale’s fuel efficiency test.

The petrol Mahindra Thar is simply a dream to drive thanks to a silent, smooth and powerful motor. Mahindra has pulled off a brilliant job with this mill, which certainly works wonders in its favour. At long last, comparing the Thar to other similarly priced vehicles seems inappropriate since it is an all-together different breed. One whose flaws add to the overall charm of the ownership experience. A truly different life-statement I’d say.

The petrol Mahindra Thar is simply a dream to drive. Silent, smooth, and feels as capable off-road. Mahindra has done wonders with this engine, which works in favour of its charm. However, comparing the Thar to its price segment contenders doesn’t seem do justice since owning one is all about a life-statement. Nevertheless, frugality, fit and finish in several areas, a few ergonomic irritants and some occupant discomfort are the by-products of an otherwise evolved Thar. On the contrary, no other car I’ve driven till date has attracted as much attention as the new Thar.

But what we are looking at here is a detailed exploration of what has changed, evolved even, in the new Thar compared to the utilitarian first-gen model. Let’s dive in.

Mahindra Thar 2020 has managed to create a lot of excitement even before its official launch on October 1. The first unit of Thar has been auctioned with proceeds to be donated to help in the fight against Covid-19. Can the all-new Mahindra Thar finally good enough to be the only car in your garage?

This is the all-new Mahindra Thar. New generation, new chassis, new powertrain options, but the same old charm. At least from the looks of it. In flesh, it is much better finished now. It doesn’t look rudimentary or utilitarian. And it has an air of modernity to it, which the Thar never really had. It’s a lifestyle product, no two ways about it. And up close and personal, it’s both handsome and desirable.
