The Mahindra Thar is one of India’s most beloved lifestyle SUVs. It is set to expand its appeal further with the upcoming launch of a 5-door variant. But before that, Mahindra has made some pricing revisions, making the current 3-door Thar a bit more expensive.
The Mahindra Thar has seen a price increase of Rs 10,000, affecting only select variants. These include the base-spec LX hard-top petrol AT RWD, AX(O) hard-top diesel MT RWD, and the LX hard-top diesel MT RWD. Prices for all other variants remain the same. With this, the Thar now ranges between Rs 11.35 lakh and Rs 17.60 lakh (ex-showroom).
