New Gen Mahindra Thar variants, features, and powertrains?

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.
