Mahindra Thar Receives Another Major Price Hike, Long Waiting Period Continues

Mahindra Thar has always been known for being the most affordable 4X4 and the hardcore budget SUV. However, ever since the new Thar got launched, the waiting period has just soared to several months and now in a recent price update, Mahindra has increased the prices of the budget 4X4 SUV by a good margin.

The price hike for the Mahindra Thar start from as low as Rs 32,000 and go to Rs 92,000 for some of the variants. Like we said above, the waiting period of the Thar is close to 12 months for some cities and the production capacity has taken a hit due to the constrained supplies.

We currently have the three-door version of Thar in the market with two engine options - a 2.0L Stallion petrol and a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel. The former generates 150 PS and 320 Nm while the oil burner churns out 130 PS and 300 Nm. Both the engines are mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and an optional 6-speed AT. Both the engines come with 4x4 as standard.
