Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which engine option between the petrol & diesel is more fuel efficient and delivers better pulling power - Thar 2020 - Thar 2020?
  • The 2020 Mahindra Thar gets two engine options - a 130PS/300Nm 2.2-litre diesel engine and a 150PS/320Nm 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine. Since the petrol unit is a turbocharged one, the power figures are higher for it than that of diesel. Moreover, the fuel efficiency figures aren't out for the Thar yet so we'll have to wait for that. Also, Selecting the right fuel type depends on your average running of the car. If you drive less then 50km in a day then we recommend you to go with a petrol car as they are easy to maintain, have a longer life span and they cost less initially then the diesel car. On the other hand, diesel cars are preferred if the average daily run is more than 50km which makes it feasible purchase. For a better understanding of performance and drivability, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

Q. I want to know the advantages and disadvantages of Thar which nobody has told as yet
  • Mahindra has build the new Thar from grounds up and now it looks more modern with tweaked styling and improved interiors. Also, the brand has included new powertrain options including petrol, diesel and automatic options. Thar 2020 gets 4x4 drive with a low range transfer case as standard. Moreover, Mahindra has done a brilliant work on the quality of interiors, features, improved noise vibration and harshness management, better departure and breakover which makes it a more capable off-roader. On the other hand, Thar features an old school ladder frame which increases the body roll over curves, offers stiff ride quality and is not a viable alternative to a proper compact or sub compact SUVs. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read More: - 2020 Mahindra Thar: First Look
Q. What is average mileage of petrol version of Thar 2020 in city? Should I go for diesel or petrol version.
  • Selecting the right fuel type depends on your utility and average running of the car. If you drive less then 50km in a day then we recommend you to go with a petrol car as they are easy to maintain, have a longer life span and they cost less initially then the diesel car. On the other hand, diesel cars are preferred if the average daily run is more than 50km which makes it feasible for a purchase. The diesel cars are more fuel efficient and provide more torque, therefore, are preferred for a person who drives more than 50km. Whereas, petrol engine has a low service cost, more life span, generally have a well-controlled NVH level and are cheaper in cost than the diesel engines. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

    Namaskar, reviewing 2021 

    Namaskar, Reviewing 2021 october model petrol mid variant, 88 bhp.I am still amazed by the bold look of its front, You just park it on the side & check out yourself.Also, On roads, Every daln car gives respect and let's you pass 😊.Paint finish is top notch, Still shines like anything.I too give it a polish often but it's better than finish of our honda brio !.Build quality feels good, Doors always close smoothly.But i don't like the lightness of steel in the boot! it vibrates on closing it.Front lights even though normal halogen ones in my variant, Are almost good for night driving.Front view through the windshield is awesome and gives you a feel of whole road ahead.Rear view is good too and i specially like it's larger window pane for a clearer look of behind.Also aided by the 3 view rear view camera packed with proximity sensors at while reversing.I think honda has outdone itself as far as interior space is concerned, Roomy inside, Seats 5 comfortably.Front seats r plush n driver side gets adjustable height through a lever.Ac too is great in summers.Though no air vents are provided in the rear !ride quality - with wider tyres, Road bumps are handled nicely.Suspension is nicely tuned n it's a smooth ride typical of a honda on highways.Feels great to drive it.Have driven it to hills in nainital n lansdowne and it hasn't failed me in any corner.Though yes, Engine is less powerful for the size of the car and one needs to downshift quite often.But power delivery is smooth.Mileage- wat do i say, It's such a vast variability in city and highway conditions.One won't believe but it gave me 30 km/l whole going downhill on nainital road with engine on n 4-5th gear with occasional braking !!.Also it has given a average of 17-20on highways with ac.But in city conditions, It can even go as low as 9.8.It gulps petrol like anything in 2-3 rd gears.I have seen average dipping by 0.3-0.5 while reversing over a few metres in my parking!! boot - so roomy that one can doze off nicely there.All carpeted.Cons-1) less powerful engine n hence more downshifting.2)some vent in the boot from where twice a rat has entered and even eaten the back seat from side !3) poor average in city especially on ac4) average touch screen.Gets smudgy often.Not so good sun readability.To connect to maps, One has to use wire !!gains-1)top notch honda quality n peace of mind.2) smooth drive, So silent at standby that we are many a occasions have tried to reignite the engine even though it hadn't shut down !.3) top mileage in highways.4) wide tyres n plush ride.5) roomy boot.6)@9.8 l it was a great choice for us, A family car.7) spacious seats n many wise cup holders.

    Good Car 

    Although the Honda WR-V has a 1200 cc engine, I can assure you that you won't get any driving experience with it. It picks up extremely poorly. Even the agency employees agree that this car's pickup is incredibly low, Yet the corporation is unwilling to acknowledge the fact. Moreover, The engine doesn't feel strong. Even the agency members' post-sale conduct is not favorable. Honda needs to make improvements to keep customers from switching to another brand.

    Mahindra Thar: The Off-Road King 

    Ever since I got my hands on the Mahindra Thar, it has been an exhilarating journey of discovering landscapes I never thought I would explore. This beast, with its 2.2 liter mHawk diesel engine pushing out 130hp is unapologetically powerful and ready to tackle the most challenging terrains. The 4x4 capability makes it a dream for off road enthusiasts like myself.However, driving through city traffic in the Thar is where the romance slightly fades.The heavy steering and the firm suspension setup, while perfect for rugged terrains and uncomfortable on urban roads.

    shines bright every where 

    A perfect for adventure car model, the Mahindra Thar is an iconic and powerful car model. I have been driving this since quite a few months and have enjoyed the rides. My experience has been so good that i will recommend this to people who are looking to buy such a car that meets all their needs. I admire its powerful engine, with which this car model ensures a reliable drive through for long urbanic commute or even off roading while maintaining the fuel efficiency at its best.

    Conquer Every Terrain with Mahindra Thar 

    The Mahindra Thar's tough construction and grim performance have it to attack any my travelling, from rough lines to flaxen stacks. Its strong machine and advanced technology allow it to take on indeed the most delicate tasks, and its wide innards ensures that every passenger is comfortable. With its mix of coincidental advancements and quaint Style cues, the Thar's special design honors its heritage. For those appearing to explore the great outside, the Mahindra Thar is the nice agent because of its celebrated good features and go- anywhere station.

    High safety and amazing performer 

    The safety in Mahindra Thar is very high with high score in the safety but gives body roll. The engine is refined and in the city it is very enjoyable and is a very different SUV and the feel of this car is excellent. It offers a lot in good pricing and is a very awsome car to drive and is a winner car from Mahindra but the comfort is not good in the rear seat. The cabin is noise free and i am using petrol engine and the ground clearance is outstanding and the handling is decent.
