Mahindra Thar 4ร—4 To Become More Affordable With New AX Trim

In recent months, the Mahindra Thar has experienced a significant drop in starting price due to the introduction of 4ร—2 rear-wheel-drive variants. Now, according to a recently leaked RTO document, Mahindra appears to be considering bringing back the discontinued AX 4ร—4 variant.

Why is it making a comeback?

By doing so, the Thar could remain competitively priced in comparison to the upcoming five-door Maruti Suzuki Jimny, which will get a 4ร—4 drivetrain as standard fitment.

Engine Options

Mahindra Thar 4x2 and 4x4 engine options

As per the document, the Mahindra Thar AX 4ร—4 trim will be offered with both petrol and diesel powertrains, paired with only a manual gearbox.

Current Lineup

  • As of now, Mahindra offers the Thar in two trim levels: AX (O) and LX.
  • Both can be had with three engine options: 1.5-litre diesel (118PS/300Nm), 2.2-litre diesel (130PS/300Nm) and 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol (150PS/320Nm).
  • While the 1.5-litre diesel motor is exclusive to the rear-wheel drive (RWD) variants, the bigger 2.2-litre oil burner is exclusive to the 4ร—4 trims. 
  • The petrol mill can be had with both 4ร—2 and 4ร—4 drivetrains.
  • Transmission options include a 6-speed manual as standard and a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox limited to the 2-litre turbocharged petrol and 2.2-litre diesel units.

Price

Currently, the 4ร—4 variants of Mahindra Thar are priced from Rs 13.59 lakh to Rs 16.49 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). With the introduction of the new base-spec trim, expect the price range to go down by a significant margin.
