Mahindra has introduced a new color option for the Thar in India: Deep Forest Green. This color, already popular on other Mahindra models like the Scorpio N and XUV 3OO, now enhances the Thar’s existing palette, which includes Desert Fury, Deep Grey, Everest White, Red Rage, and Stealth Black. The Mahindra Thar, known for its rugged lifestyle appeal, offers both petrol and diesel engines with RWD and 4WD options. After a recent price hike of Rs 10,000, the Thar’s starting price is now Rs 11.35 lakh (ex-showroom).
Aside from the new Deep Forest Green color, the Mahindra Thar remains unchanged. It still offers three engine choices: a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine delivering 150bhp and 300Nm of torque, and a 2.2-litre diesel engine with 130bhp and 300Nm. Both engines can be paired with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, a 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 118bhp and 300Nm is available for the rear-wheel drive (RWD) version, which comes with a 6-speed manual transmission. The turbo-petrol version offers the choice between a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic torque converter transmission.
