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.

    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.

    Ultimate Blend of Adventure and Comfort 

    Mahindra Thar is multi-faceted off-roader has a combined feature of toughness and modern comforts. 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.

    Stylish 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.

    shan 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.
