With prices starting from Rs 9.80 lakh (petrol, six seater soft top) to Rs 12.95 lakh (four seater hard top), the four-wheel drive model, available in both automatic and manual transmission, doesn’t have any direct competitor.

Available in three body styles – fixed soft-top, a cabriolet or convertible soft top and a fixed hard top, the model comes with two engine options – 2-litre petrol and a 2.2 litre diesel. The delivery of the models will commence from November. Designed and engineered in India and manufactured out of Mahindra’s Nashik Plant, the model will be available in six colours, namely - Red rage, Mystic copper, Galaxy grey, Napoli Black, rocky Beige and aquamarine.

“Over the years, the Thar has been a part of Mahindra’s rich history and has found its way into the hearts of many as an object of desire. On the occasion of the group’s 75th anniversary, we have written another chapter in its glorious history,” said Pawan Goenka, MD & CEO, Mahindra & Mahindra.
