The very first unit of Mahindra Thar was sold in an auction, which fetched the company whopping Rs. 1.10 crore. Akash Minda from Delhi won the auction and became the first customer of the car.
The new 2020 Thar gets all-new interiors and updated exteriors as well. It will be available with BS6 petrol and diesel engines with 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions.
