All-new Mahindra Thar Hits Used Car Market, Consider to Avoid Long Waiting Period

All-new Mahindra Thar has managed to receive a warm response from the Indian audience. The carmaker has received quite a lot of bookings for the off-roaders. Also, the brand has recently announced that the new-gen Thar is sold out till May 2021. So if you are planning to get one home, waiting for almost 9 months turns up as the only possible solution. However, if buying a nearly-new but used example is not an issue, then you can avoid the long waiting period. Here’s one example that is on sale with hardly any kilometres on the odometer. This Thar is currently located in Kolkata and is just 20 days old.  We came across the advertisement via Vishwanath Motors’ social media account.

Talking of this very example, it is the top-sec LX trim of the new-gen Thar. It comes loaded with a host of equipment. The list includes a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, cruise control, steering-mounted audio controls, IP67-rated interior, remote door lock/unlock, power-folding ORVMs and more. On the safety front, the new-gen Thar has scored a 4-star crash test rating at Global NCAP’s testbed. It comes standard with dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD, roll cage, front seat belts alarm, rear 3-point seat belts pre-tensioner and load-limiters, and reverse parking sensors. While this particular example comes with a fixed hardtop, the new-gen Thar can also be had with a convertible soft top.

On the powertrain front, Mahindra is offering two engine choices with the Thar. It gets a 2.0L mStallion turbo-petrol motor and a 2.2L mHawk diesel engine. While the turbo-petrol motor can put out a rated power and torque output of 150 Hp and 320 Nm, respectively, the oil burner can produce 130 Hp against 300 Nm. The gearbox options on the all-new Thar comprise of a 6-speed MT and a 6-speed AT. It comes standard with a 4x4 drivetrain with a low-range gearbox and locking rear differential. The top-spec LX trims also get the added convenience of a brake-locking front axle, electronic stability program, traction control and more.
