The Mahindra Thar has always been a symbol of power and ruggedness in the Indian SUV market. Taking a massive leap forward, Mahindra has now introduced the Thar Hybrid. This new version is designed for those who want the legendary Thar style but with the fuel economy of a compact car.
1. A More Premium Look
The new Hybrid variant brings a more sophisticated touch to the rugged design:
- Modern Lighting: It now features a fully LED setup, including headlights, DRLs, and tail lamps.
- Refined Body: An updated front grille and premium paint options give it a fresh look.
- Smart Build: The body frame remains strong for off-roading but has been optimized for weight to help achieve that record-breaking mileage.
2. Performance Meets Efficiency
The real magic is under the hood. The Thar Hybrid features a 1497cc Hybrid Petrol Engine that balances torque and thriftiness:
- Power & Torque: It produces 118 PS of power and a massive 300 Nm of torque, ensuring it still feels like a beast on the road.
- The Game Changer: Thanks to the hybrid technology, this SUV can deliver up to 24 kmpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient 4×4-style SUVs in the country.
- Transmission: Available in both a 6-speed manual and a smooth automatic gearbox.
3. Loaded with Tech Features
The interior gets a tech boost to match its “premium” tag:
- Infotainment: An 8-inch touchscreen with navigation, Bluetooth, and smartphone alerts.
- Comfort: Adjustable footrests and a digital instrument console to keep all your stats visible.
- Safety: Equipped with ABS and EBD, with disc brakes in the front and high-performance drum brakes in the rear.
4. Smooth Handling on All Terrains
To handle Indian roads—from city potholes to mountain trails—Mahindra has used a Double Wishbone suspension in the front and a Lever-arm suspension in the rear. This setup ensures the ride is comfortable even when the road isn’t.
Price and Ownership Options
The Mahindra Thar Hybrid is positioned as a premium yet reachable dream:
- Starting Price: Approximately ₹14 Lakh – ₹15 Lakh.
- Easy Entry: You can bring this SUV home with a down payment as low as ₹25,000 (subject to bank terms and your profile).
