Back in January this year, Mahindra introduced the 4×2 diesel version of the Thar without any off-road features. Due to its affordable pricing, many buyers are opting for this version, resulting in a long waiting period.
- According to reports, the Mahindra Thar 4×2 diesel variant currently has a waiting period of up to 17 months, while the petrol version has a shorter wait time of just one month.
- Buyers interested in the Thar 4×4 will be pleased to know that the waiting period for both the petrol and diesel engine options is approximately one month.
Note: The above-stated waiting period for the Mahindra Thar may vary depending on the chosen variant, color, and city.
