Mahindra Thar received major upgrades in 2020 as the new-generation model was launched in India, leading to a high demand and an increase in the waiting periods.
In January, Mahindra launched the new Thar 2WD version that did not get any of the off-road kits. The waiting period for the 1.5-litre Thar 2WD diesel is currently at 17 months, while the powered Thar 2WD has a waiting period of about a month.
The Thar 2WD gets Mahindra’s D117, a 1.5-litre diesel engine that produces 118hp and 300Nm of torque. This engine was available in the XUV300 and the Marazzo, however, there is no automatic gearbox on this Thar 2WD diesel, instead only a 6-speed manual gearbox.
