Barely a few days back, Mahindra launched the updated Thar but all the changes were limited to the CRDe version only. You can read about the changes and features here. However, the company has now also started offering the more basic Thar DI with an optional power steering.
They have updated the official website with the details and prices. Until now, Thar DI was offered with a mechanical steering but now with the softer steering things will definitely be a little easy on the shoulders. Both the 2WD as well as the 4WD get power steerings – on the 4 Wheel Drive it is standard, whereas on the 2 Wheel Drive, it is an optional extra.

Mahindra Thar DI Price
Here are the prices..
- Thar DI 2WD: Rs 5,21,955
- Thar DI 2WD PS: Rs 5,45,612
- Thar DI 4WD PS: Rs 5,96,360
Mahindra is charging about Rs 24,000 for the power steering on the 2WD.
In comparison to Thar CRDe’s relatively modern 2498 cc 105 hp 247 Nm silent motor, Thar DI gets a crude 2523 cc MDI engine which is capable of producing 63 bhp of peak power and 182.5 Nm of maximum torque and is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.

Manju, on the 4X4 Power steering is offered as standard whereas on the 4×2 variant, its an optional extra…
if you ask me what thrilled me more, a bull run in Spain or driving a Thar down a deep river, then i will choose the latter..
