The Mahindra Thar, particularly the Direct Injection (DI) version, has been a revered name since its debut in 2010. The DI variant, essentially derived from the Mahindra MM540 launched in 1985, retained its iconic shape. The 2,523 cc turbo diesel engine, offered in both 2WD and 4WD options, generated a maximum power of 63 hp and 182.5 Nm of peak torque.
While the current-gen Thar is extremely popular model in the country, available in both 4WD and 2WD options, the company is also preparing to bring the five-door iteration of the SUV, thus making it more a practical choice for off-road enthusiasts. Besides that, the manufacturer had recently showcased the Thar.e concept, which will be an electric counterpart of the SUV as the company prepares to intensify its EV transition in the future.
