Mahindra Thar To Get New RWD Variants; Details Out

India’s highly-popular lifestyle off-road vehicle, the Mahindra Thar, is all set to get rear-wheel drive (RWD) variants soon. While official details about the same are yet to be revealed, a leaked brochure of the SUV has disclosed some crucial details about the upcoming variants. Here’re the details: –

  • Engine Options: The RWD variants of the Mahindra Thar will be available with either the 152PS 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol or a new 118PS 1.5-litre diesel engine. The oil burner will only be available with a 6-speed manual transmission, whereas the gasoline mill will get a 6-speed torque converter automatic-only in RWD configuration. The 2.2-litre diesel engine in 4×4 configuration will continue to be available, with a choice of manual and automatic transmissions.
  • Variants: The new 1.5-litre diesel engine will be standard across the lineup. However, the Petrol-RWD configuration will only be available in the top-spec LX trim. Here’s the complete variant breakup: –
