Mahindra Thar in its second-gen avatar is one of the most beautiful cars that are on sale in the country today. Its design is often said to be inspired by the American off-roader – Jeep Wrangler. However, there are certainly some rough edges that need to be ironed out, and aftermarket fitments serve this purpose quite well. Recently, a North-India based modifier ‘Bimbra 4x4’ posted a set of pictures of two examples of new-gen Mahindra Thar which are shod with their upcoming range of products. These products are designed to increase the overall user experience and aesthetics of the new-gen Mahindra Thar.

The accessories that tuner has developed are front centre armrest, Jeep-like front radiator grille, rear-seat armrests, roof rack and more. According to Bimbra 4x4, all of these modifications are bolt-on fitments and fitting them does not require any alteration to the vehicle. Moreover, folks at Bimbra 4x4 claim that the front centre armrest will not act as a hindrance in using bottle holders. For the fitment of roof rack, the tuner has used the rain gutters. Although, these parts are yet to enter the mass-scale production, which the modifier claims will begin soon.
The new-gen Mahindra Thar is a much-loaded car in comparison to its last-gen counterpart. It now comes fitted with a 7-inch infotainment screen that gets Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and satellite navigation.
