The Mahindra Thar Roxx was launched last month, generating significant excitement in the market. Even before hitting showrooms, the Thar Roxx is already making waves online. Meanwhile, for the first time since its launch, the three-door Thar is now available with substantial discounts.
Mahindra is offering discounts of up to ₹1,50,000 on Thar 4WD variants, offering an enticing deal for off-road enthusiasts. Meanwhile, the 2WD variants are available with savings ranging from ₹1,00,000 to ₹1,36,000. These price cuts mark one of the biggest promotional offers on the Thar, making it a great time for buyers looking to own this rugged, adventure-ready SUV at a more affordable price.
For those unaware, the Mahindra Thar 3-door comes with three engine options – a 1.5-liter diesel, 2-liter mStallion petrol, and 2.2-liter diesel. The smaller diesel variant is available in 4×2 drive (rear-wheel-drive), while the larger diesel engine offers a shift-on-the-fly 4×4 drivetrain (4WD) with a manual shift transfer case as standard. Meanwhile, the petrol engine is offered with both 4×2 and 4×4 drivetrain options. Here’s a look at their specifications: –
| Engine | 1.5-litre diesel | 2-litre turbo-petrol | 2.2-litre diesel |
| Power | 119PS | 152PS | 119PS / 130PS |
| Torque | 300Nm | Up to 320Nm | 300Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed manual | 6-speed MT / 6-speed AT | 6-speed MT / 6-speed AT |
| Drivetrain | 4×2 | 4×2 / 4×4 | 4×4 |
Mahindra Thar – Which Drivetrain Should You Pick?
If you’re drawn to the Thar mainly for its classic design and tough, rugged look, the rear-wheel drive version is a solid choice, offering good ground clearance and a sturdy chassis capable of handling rough roads. However, for those who want to experience true off-roading, even if it’s only occasionally, the 4×4 variant is the better option.
