Table of Contents

Mahindra Thar

Price: 6.64 – 9.42 Lakh

Mahindra Thar started in 2010. In eight years, Thar has undergone a major one-generation revolution. Thar looks like a timeless retro look of a Jeep paired with a round head, as well as a rugged bumper and box design feature. It deeply reflects Jeep’s design philosophy: simple but effective.

The Mahindra Thar is very popular and is named one of the best pilgrims in India. The four-wheel-drive system and wide tire, as well as floor hygiene, contributed to its excellent off-road capability. And most importantly, the engine is kept under control. The Thar comes with a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder diesel engine with a power of 105 bhp and 247Nm. The gearbox is made with a 5-speed manual gearbox. This powerful engine is a key feature that helps Thar pull out any difficult surface.
