On the occasion of India’s 74th Independence Day, Mahindra took wraps off the 2020 version of one of the most aspired off-roaders in the country – the Thar.
The new Thar, which has always been popular for its superior off-roading capabilities, gains many new features in the process and has come closer to being a everyday SUV, almost. Let us quickly summarize it for you..
The 2020 Thar is a completely new vehicle built from ground-up. It looks significantly different from the older version and clearly there is a major design inspiration from the Jeep Wrangler.
- The new Thar now comes with two new engine options that are compliant with the BS6 emission norms. It gets a 152 bhp 2.0-liter mStallion TGDi Turbocharged Petrol engine and a 132 bhp 2.2 liter mHawk Diesel engine.
- In terms of gearboxes, the SUV gets 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission and 6-speed manual transmission options.
- This is the first time ever that Thar has received a petrol engine.
- In terms of features, it gets a 17.8 cm touchscreen infotainment system, cruise control, adventure statistics display, roof-mounted speakers, and a lot more.

- When it comes to safety, the car has ABS+EBD, dual airbags, ESP with rollover mitigation, hill-hold, hill-descent control, and a lot more.
- The new Thar is available in six colors, including Red Rage, Mystic Copper, Napoli Black, Aquamarine, Galaxy Grey, and Rocky Beige.
