The new Thar featured in the video is the Diesel AT which is the top-end variant of the model. Therefore, the Thar is brimmed to the gills with all the bells and whistles needed for the most confident drive. The driver was doing some drifts at high speeds along with some tests on the wheel articulation and long-range transfer case of the new Mahindra Thar. While doing the wheel articulation test, the driver also tried to check out the wheel locking of the vehicle. As can be seen from the video, the 2020 Mahindra Thar performed extremely well on the sand dunes. We could see the differential locking worked seamlessly when the guy was trying to climb a steep slope, again, with sand. Also, the Thar can be seen handling the hill climb with ease in 4H (four-wheel-drive high range) and 4L (four-wheel-drive low range). It looks like the new Thar was having so much fun in the sandy playground, doesn’t it?
