India’s first wrapped 2020 Mahindra Thar looks rad

Indian people love SUVs that is why their sales are so strong. There is no doubt that the Mahindra Thar is one of the most successful SUVs of the Indian market. People were waiting eagerly for its launch and so many people have booked the Thar that the Mahindra started facing production issues because they were not expecting so many bookings. Even now the booking period for a 2020 Thar can exceed 10 months, depending on the variant and the colour you choose for. Speaking of colour here is India’s first 2020 Thar that has been wrapped. The video has been uploaded by Sahib and Teena Vlogs on their YouTube channel. The wrap has been done by Wrapaholix.

The 2020 Thar is wrapped in Matte Tone Purple which is very unique. The owner of Wrapaholix also says that there are other colours also available such as Red but Thar already comes in Red and the Thar that we see here was originally Black and Green colour was rejected by the owner of the Thar. So, the owner wanted to do something unique which really stands out of the crowd and from other Thars. The owner also says that there was excessive Mahindra badging, so they removed the “THAR” badging which comes on the outside rearview mirrors and then wrapped it in the carbon fibre dip. The Thar in the video also gets a different front grille and headlamps which are from after-market.
