Mahindra Thar: Under The Hood
The Mahindra Thar SUV offers three engine options to suit different preferences. The 2.2-litre diesel engine delivers 130PS of power and 300Nm of torque, while the 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine generates 150PS of power and 320Nm of torque. Both engines are available with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
For those looking for a more fuel-efficient option, there's also a 1.5-litre diesel engine, which produces 118PS of power and 300Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. When it comes to drivetrain options, the 1.5-litre diesel and the 2-litre turbo-petrol are up for grabs with rear-wheel drive, while the turbo-petrol and the 2.2-litre diesel engine come with the added perk of four-wheel drive.
