Mahindra has really gone to town on the Thar. The off-roader has been in much demand, resulting in a waiting period of up to a year. The carmaker has now hiked the prices of the SUV for the third time since its launch in October 2020. The previous two price hikes made the SUV dearer by up to Rs 40,000.
Here’s a look at the revised variant-wise pricing:

The Thar is equipped with new petrol and diesel engines. The petrol engine is a 2.0-litre turbocharged unit (150PS/up to 320Nm), and the diesel engine is a 2.2-litre unit (130PS/300Nm). Both get a 6-speed manual as standard and an optional 6-speed automatic. A 4x4 drivetrain is standard across both powertrains.
The only direct rivals of the Mahindra Thar are the upcoming 2021 Force Gurkha and the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Jimny.
