Mahindra’s Thar’s variants explained
The greatest offroader of the country India, Mahindra Thar has recently unveiled on the 74th Independence Day via the online platform. There were two variants introduced- AX and LX. The AX stands for “Adventure Series” that is meant for great offroading with minimum luxury in a low price while the LX stands for “Lifestyle Series” that is meant for the occasional offroader and for those who love to drive in cities and want a comfortable, luxury and bold SUV.
The design of this ultimate Mahindra Thar is quite robust and to the aggressive side, which also resembles it to the Jeep Wrangler but just a glimpse. This is completely different from it whether its the front nose, the clamshell hood, trapezoidal front wheel arches, 18 inches alloy wheels with 225/65/R18 section tyres and the removable hard and soft top options.
There will be two engine options available to choose from. A 2.2-liter, 4-Cylinder, Diesel engine that produces 132 bhp and 300 nm while the other one is 2.0-liter, 4-Cylinder, Petrol engine that produces 152 bhp and 320 nm. For the first time, Mahindra is offering a 6-Speed Automatic Torque Converter gearbox in the Thar but this gearbox is limited to LX variants only. The rest only available with the 6-Speed Manual one.
