Mahindra & Mahindra recently unveiled the new-generation Thar SUV with lots of design, feature and mechanical updates. The off-road SUV’s new model will hit Indian roads on October 2, 2020. The carmaker says that “the Thar is a quantum leap in terms of performance, everyday comfort & convenience, technology and safety”. The all-new Mahindra Thar has finally been revealed in full. It’s no coincidence Mahindra chose India’s 74th Independence Day to unveil its next-gen off-roader, as it wants its new 4×4 to be viewed as an icon of freedom. In its new generation, the car has been unveiled in two variants – LX and AX. The SUV is based on Mahindra’s GEN-3 platform and will be sold in two engine variants including a 2.0-litre mStallion T-GDI petrol engine and a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel unit. The former has an output of 150bhp and 320 Nm, while the latter delivers 130bhp and 300 Nm. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque-converter automatic unit.
