As we countdown to the launch of the new-gen Mahindra Thar, the latest teaser has revealed that bookings for Mahindra’s much-anticipated SUV will begin on October 2, with prices set to be revealed the same day. That said, the wait will continue post launch as deliveries are likely to begin by mid-October.
Mahindra will offer the Thar in three broad variants: AX, AX Optional and LX. The AX variant will cater to adventure seeking buyers while the top-spec LX will be more of a lifestyle offering. Moreover, you also have three body styles: a fixed soft top limited to the base-spec model, a cabriolet, and a fixed hard top.
The new-gen Thar will also appeal to your family with a decent amount of equipment. Highlights include a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, electric air conditioner, unique roof-mounted speakers, cruise control, front power windows, and remote locking. Safety is covered by dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, a roll cage, and electronic stability control.

All in all, the new-gen Thar has evolved in all aspects and could be your daily driver. In fact, the Thar has such a legacy that the serial number 1 model, which is on auction, could have bidders for more than Rs 1 crore! That’s almost ten times the base-spec variant’s possible starting price of Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This also goes to show that Mahindra’s upcoming SUV will very likely start its innings with a bang.
