Mahindra has finally started the deliveries of Thar 2WD. The 4x2 version of the lifestyle SUV was recently launched in petrol and diesel powertrain options. Priced between Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 13.49 lakh (ex-showroom), Thar 2WD is available in AX(O) and LX trims. As per the media reports and dealership insights, the waiting period on the 2WD Thar has already crossed the 1-year mark. The diesel 2WD Thar now accounts for a waiting period of up to 16 to 18 months. However, the buyers of petrol 2WD Thar don't have to wait that long as it accounts for only up to 3 months waiting period. Also, the waiting period for 4WD Thar has reduced drastically.

The waiting period for Thar 4WD has reduced quite drastically because of the launch of 2WD Thar. According to reports and dealer insights, many customers have transferred their bookings from 4WD Thar to 2WD Thar. The 2WD Thar costs a lot less and gets all the positives of the Thar 4WD, excluding the 4x4 drivetrain. That's the reason for the gigantic fall in the waiting period of 4WD Thar.
