India’s largest SUV manufacturer, Mahindra Automotive, is currently riding high on the success of its recent launches, including the Thar Roxx, BE 6, and XEV 9E. However, its existing models, the Thar three-door, Scorpio-N, and the XUV700, are also going strong in the market. Now, in order to boost the sales of these vehicles even more, the company is preparing to launch these said models with a ton of new advanced features and updates. Here are the details of the updates that each of these models will be getting.
Mahindra Thar three-door
First off, let’s talk about the updates of the Thar three-door. This particular SUV, which had been on waiting periods for a long time, has been seeing a gradual decline in sales because of the launch of the Thar Roxx. Thankfully, Mahindra has understood the sentiment of the market, and it will now be offering the already popular Thar three-door with a ton of features borrowed from its five-door sibling, the Thar Roxx.
The list of the upgrades that the new Thar three-door will get includes a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 10.25-inch digital instrument gauge cluster. Apart from these, the SUV will also be getting ventilated front seats, automatic climate control, and a wireless phone charger. Also, on the safety front, it will get 6 airbags as standard, a 360-degree camera, and Level 2 ADAS.
As for the powertrain options, the Thar will not be seeing any mechanical updates. The first option will be the 1.5-litre mHawk diesel engine making 118 PS of power and 300 Nm of torque. It comes only with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The other engine option is a 2.0-litre mStallion petrol motor making 152 PS of power and 300 Nm of torque with a 6-speed manual and 320 Nm with the automatic transmission model.
Lastly, the Thar is also offered with a bigger 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine. This motor is capable of producing 132 PS and 300 Nm of torque. It also comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Currently, the Thar three-door starts at Rs 11.35 lakh and goes all the way to Rs 17.60 lakh. This motor is only offered in the 4X4 variant.
