Recently Asked User Questions
- 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.

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.

TharWhere Adventure Meets Freedom
The Mahindra Thar offers driver like me an unmatched off- road experience and thrilling open- air driving, bringing around adventure and independence together. The Thar is aspects to fluently navigate indeed the most delicate my travelling because to its sturdy lattice, durable design, and prideful 4x4 capabilities. For off- road suckers worldwide, this notorious SUV offers the ultimate sensation of independence and disquisition — whether they are riding along flaxen strands and crawling over boulders.

TharUltimate Blend of Adventure and Comfort

Its unique features and design, solid structure and powerful diesel engine allow this vehicle to be in impressive off-road capacity and durability. Thar offers space and driver-friendly infotainment make it suitable for both enthusiastic off roading and daily driving. Yet, it's on-road handling and ride quality is likely to be seen as lacking in comparison to more refined SUV versions. Mahindra Thar is the perfect pick for ones looking for a renowned and off-road oriented SUV with distinct identity and approach.

TharStylish off roader
It is my Mahindra's beast, the Thar is an all terrain and a rugged SUV that also offers impressive off-road functionalities. Its practical and boxy shape is both functional and aesthetic, while the spacious and comfortable place is a pleasure to drive. The Thar packs a powerful engine along with a variety of convenient features, which make it a good choice for adventurers. What stands out is its durability, reliability and affordability, however the long waiting period is the real issue. The Mahindra Thar is a great SUV that meets its purpose without any compromise.

TharOff-Roading with Mahindra Thar
Owning a Mahindra Thar has always been a dream and living with it turned out to be an exhilarating tale of adventure and freedom. Its robust 2.0 liter turbocharged engine generating a handsome 150 PS of power has been a reliable companion on both city roads and rugged terrains. The all wheel drive and the locking differentials mean the Thar effortlessly tackles off road challenges makes it a true off roader's favourite.Yet, with great power comes... a bumpy ride. The rugged suspension setup, while perfect for off roading, makes my city drives less comfortable.

Tharshan of india
My cousin recently purchased the Mahindra Thar and took me for a spin. While its rugged style and off-road capabilities impressed me, the fuel efficiency left something to be desired. The manual transmission felt smooth, and the all-wheel drive provided excellent traction on rough terrain. However, in urban settings, its bulky build made parking a challenge. Despite its shortcomings in mileage and city maneuverability, the Thar shines on highways and off-road adventures, making it a great choice for adventurous souls.

BalenoPopular hatchback
Baleno a well popular hatchback of the segment, Good road presence with extra seat comfort and back seat is spacious to sit three comfortabley staring is bit tight to the other competitors in this segment but features are loaded.It gives approximately 17-20 average for petrol version depending upon driving conditions.Build quality is just below average as bump and outer body effected easily in minor complications.At 70 kmph above speed noise and vibration is there.It can reach upto 150-160kmph on expressway but kindly keep safety rating in your mind while driving at high speeds.Suzuki is well known for it service availability, Service cost as well as after sale service.Service cost of baleno is too low 3000-8000 would be approximately as per shop and car condition for service.Lastly conclusion is that it is good car in the segment depends upon priority, Its resale value is excellent.
