Mahindra Thar is set to be launched soon with a new powertrain. Along with this, a new variant will also be launched. The Mahindra Thar will soon get a 1.5-litre diesel engine, which will join the 2.2-litre diesel and 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engines in the line-up. The introduction of the 1.5-litre diesel engine will also help the Thar get into a lower tax bracket, given that it is less than four meters long.
