Mahindra Thar 2WD Launched At Rs. 9.99 Lakh | V3Cars

Mahindra Thar 2WD Launched

Take a look at the prices of the Thar 2WD variants:

The introduction of the Thar 2WD variants have made the rugged SUV a lot more affordable for potential customers. By taking advantage of the Thar’s sub-4 metre length and the introduction of the smaller 1.5L turbo diesel engine, which belongs to a lower tax bracket, the Thar’s entry-level price now starts at Rs. 9.99 lakh. The Thar 4WD equipped with the 2.2L turbo diesel and 2.0L turbo petrol engines do not qualify for the sub-4m tax slab as their engine displacement is over the mandated 1200cc limit for petrol and 1500cc for diesel. Hence, the Thar 2WD petrol variant, which comes equipped with the same 2.0L engine as the Thar 4WD variant, does not qualify for the sub-4m tax slab.

Mahindra Thar 2WD Engine Specifications

Take a look at the engine specifications of the Thar 2WD:

The Thar 2WD diesel variants are powered by the same 1.5L turbo diesel engine seen in the XUV300 and Marazzo. Since the XUV300 and Marzzo front-wheel-drive cars, the Thar 2WD diesel is the first time Mahindra has mated this engine to a rear-wheel drivetrain. It produces 118PS of power and 300Nm of torque. The 2.0L turbo petrol engine, on the other hand, produces 152PS of power and 320Nm of torque and only comes with a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
