Mahindra has launched the facelifted version of the Thar SUV at a price tag of Rs 8,03,000 (ex-showroom, Nasik). It is important to note that only the CRDe version of Thar goes under the knife, with Mahindra preferring not to make any changes to the DI trim.
Speaking at the launch of the New Thar CRDe, Pravin Shah, President & Chief Executive, (Automotive) Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd,said, “Since its launch, the Thar has been the face of our tough and rugged DNA, a continuation of our legacy and what Mahindra stands for. Today as we launch the new avatar of this ever popular off-roader, the effort has been to enhance the appeal of a brand that is already a cult. Increasingly consumers are looking for a different lifestyle as they seek an adventure and fun experience and the Thar is the perfect companion for such thrill seekers."
"I am confident that in its new avatar, the Thar CRDe will not only continue to be ever popular among off-road enthusiasts but significantly widen its appeal amongst a whole new set of consumers.”
Speaking of the updates, the Thar gets updated front and rear bumpers, with new claddings over the wheel arches. Redesigned canopy, side footsteps, and lens headlamps complete the changes made to the bodywork of the car.
On the inside, the Thar now sports a dual tone colour scheme, with beige and black being the predominant colours. A new 3-pod instrument cluster has slots for a 2-din music system to satisfy the entertainment needs of the passengers. The added mobile charging point will also come handy, especially during long drives.
The SUV retains its 2.5-litre CRDi engine that produces 105 bhp and 247 Nm of torque.
