Old Mahindra Thar vs New Mahindra Thar Comparison – VIDEO

The long-awaited new generation of the Mahindra Thar was finally launched this year amid much fanfare and over the last couple of months, it is one of the most discussed cars on the internet as well. Mahindra revealed the official prices of the Thar last month and has already seen over 20,000 bookings since it commenced. The last Thar had a cult following and a very loyal fanbase over the years. The new version is an all-new model and it brings a lot of updates and improvements over the old one. 

The video was uploaded by Senvlog over in their YouTube channel and starts with comparing the exterior of the old and new-gen Mahindra Thar, where you can see the new Thar is quite bigger and wider than the old one. It gets new headlamps, turn indicators, DRLs, and a different front grille. To meet the new pedestrian safety norms, the new Thar gets a plastic bumper instead of the erstwhile metal one. 

Coming to the interior, it has been comprehensively revamped without losing its ruggedness but now comes with a much-improved fit and finish with better quality materials inside. You also get new features like roof-mounted speakers, front-facing seats, and a touchscreen infotainment system. 

Compared to the first-gen Mahindra Thar, which was a raw animal and best suited in its natural habitat of the unknown, the new Thar has matured a lot with it feeling much more composed on the road, and ride quality has taken a huge step as well. Kudos to Mahindra for thoroughly revamping a beloved icon and giving it improved abilities and features without diluting what made the original a legend in its segment.
