Mahindra India is all set to launch the Thar in India in december, 2010. It is already on sale in Europe and South Africa from last two years. Mahindra Thar is a reworked version of the Commander Jeep that was pulled off the roads in early 2000. It is expected to be priced around Rs. 7,00,000 which seems to be quite resonable considering the fact that it sports a 2.5 litre diesel engine and is a well built product.
Mahindra Thar is powered by a 2.5 litre CRDe engine which develops maximum power of 105 Bhp @ 3800 rpm and maximum torque of 247 Nm at 1800 rpm. A ground clearance of 200mm, four wheel drive and a fully articulated suspension means that the Mahindra Thar meets all the off roading criteria enthusiasts were so hoping for. This Jeep like a true blue off roader will seat just two persons.The engine is coupled with a five speed manual gear box. Mahindra Thar can easily impress 4×4 lovers who don’t want shell out their hard earned money in gas guzzling machines. The suspension of Mahindra Thar hard is better than it’s earlier versions, thanks to independent torsion bar mechanism in front and leaf spring and shock absorber combo in rear.
