USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mahindra Thar is a compelling option for off-road enthusiasts and adventure seekers who want a capable 4x4 with modern amenities. Its robust build, powerful engine options, and genuine off-road credentials make it stand out in the Indian market. The latest generation has significantly improved on-road manners and interior comfort, addressing key criticisms of its predecessor. However, potential buyers should be aware that the Thar is still a niche vehicle. It's not the most practical choice for daily urban use due to its size, fuel efficiency, and limited rear space. The Thar is best suited for those who prioritize off-road capability and don't mind some compromises in everyday usability. For buyers seeking a weekend adventure vehicle or a second car for off-road trips, the Thar is an excellent choice. Its iconic design and 'go-anywhere' attitude offer a unique ownership experience. However, those needing a primary family vehicle might want to consider more practical SUV options

Price

The Mahindra Thar starts at ?11.25 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base AX (O) RWD variant and goes up to ?16.78 lakh for the top-spec LX 4WD Hard Top Diesel AT variant. On-road prices in Delhi range from approximately ?13.5 lakh to ?20 lakh, while in Mumbai they range from about ?14 lakh to ?21 lakh, depending on the variant chosen. The recently introduced RWD variants offer a more affordable entry point into Thar ownership.

Mahindra Thar Review

06 Nov, 2024 12:00 AM

Overview

An in depth peep into the amazing Mahindra Thar, with loads of content and intact in canned setup, as if we are two friends talking cars over coffee. Then I'm keeping every bit of essential info, adding some personal touches and leaving the style easy flow. So let’s dive in!

Mahindra Thar: More Than Just a Rugged Look

Have you ever thought about getting in a car, hitting the trails on the weekend and rolling through the city? That’s what the Mahindra Thar is. It’s not just a vehicle, it’s nearly an invitation to go go find some adventure. Ditto and it does in fact look pretty damned good while doing.

Design That Talks Tough

Just the sight of the Thar tells you this SUV has a message to deliver. That beefy boxy shape, that big wide grille, those round headlights—will all tell you, I’m built to take whatever you throw at me. It's honestly like you have a tank in your driveway, just with a lot more style. Yet it’s compact enough to navigate city life … and every bit of this car looks ready for rough terrain.

Here’s a personal take: The Thar’s design reminds me of a classic Swiss Army knife with no nonsense and just everything you need in one solid package while it goes about the business of traveling the frozen tundra. Nothing feels extra here. Every bit of it is intentional for how it is going to handle more than a crucial grocery run.

Performance: Where the Real Fun Begins

Good, you’re kind of an adventure junkie, then? After that, The Thar's performance will tell you. Behind the hood shies away from a turbo diesel engine. It’s got the grunt necessary to get you over rocks, through mud and of course down the city streets nicely. The Thar’s ‘secret sauce’ of course is its 4x4 drivetrain, and we also shouldn’t forget it – let’s not skip the 4x4 drivetrain. The Thar’s got your back from ankle deep in sand to tackling a steep incline.

Real insight here: The driving away of the first time I used it to take it for a spin on the rugged terrain was such as if the car was asking for more. It’s that rare vehicle that has a bit of a ‘come on’ to it — a dare to go a little further, and try a little harder. The Thar is whispering‘ Let’s go!’ for anyone who’s ever daydreamed about an unplanned road trip.

Interior Comfort: Round Edges, but Does the Job

Don’t step inside, however, expecting plush seats and ambient lighting. The Thar is all about utility and durability and completely devoid of luxury. Get what you need and none of what you don’t like it. There’s no leather upholstery here, but the seats are nice enough. It’s also super easy to clean—just what you want after a muddy trek. The controls are easy being straightforward, you’re here to glance at the road, not have your hands all over haha.

Personal insight: The Thar’s interior would be like your favourite pair of boots—worn – in, not with the fanciest gadgetry under the climate protected boot box, but simple things, trusty foot protection, ready for anything. Thar isn’t blessed with the high tech bells and whistles built into other offroaders.

Tech and Connectivity: Just the Basics, But It Works

When it comes to tech, the Thar isn’t riding out here to wow tech enthusiasts with top of the line tech features. It’s got an infotainment screen, Bluetooth and navigation, but not too much flash. I honestly love it; it’s like the Thar knows you’re here for the drive. It’ll teach you how to get around and your way, without trying to manage being a spaceship on wheels.

Safety Features: Solid, Not Showy

From a safety point of view, Mahindra took care of what matters. And dual airbags, ABS and electronic stability control. Check. Is it driving assistance packed? Not really. In a vehicle designed for terrain, the more complicated the better, but I’d prefer the reliable.

Personal note: It's a car that, frankly, just wants to look like it would make you safe without putting on a show. In fact, it can feel a little bit like having a really good friend around with you because they’re quiet and making sure everything’s alright.

In Daily Life

Now, here’s the million-dollar question: Is the Thar worthy of daily driving? Well, yes and no. It’s got the durability, it’s got the look, and you really feel like you’re invincible behind the wheel. Now, let’s be honest: It’s not the most pleasant ride on paved roads, and poor fuel economy could charge your wallet if you spend too much time in city traffic. Of course, if you want a weekend warrior that still looks good in the city, it’s hard to beat.

Real-life comparison: The Thar is the kind of friend that always has an adventure up his/her sleeves. Road trip worthy, or off road weekend gear, but perhaps not the best grille if you’re looking to zip around downtown or do the grocery run every other day.

Fuel Efficiency: Keep This in Mind

Fuel efficiency is not Thar’s forte, and we get into the nitty gritty. If you came here for power, then you’re probably not too interested in winning any gas savers contests. For those who buy the Thar purely to have a Thar, it’s a bit of a guzzler but that’s part of the deal. It’s like when you order a giant steak at a nice restaurant: you know it’s not cheap but it’s delicious.

Final Thoughts: Should You Buy the Mahindra Thar?

If you are in search of a car that partners in adventure like it partners in vehicles, then Thar is yelling your name. And it’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely not trying to be. If you like a rugged look, don’t mind skipping the pampering and enjoying some pure driving fun, and are willing to spend a little more at the pump, then the Thar might just fit the bill for you.

Would I recommend it? Hell yes, if you are down for that thrill, that feeling that the world is just wondering when you are going to explore it. This is a personality filled car, and if you’re thinking right now that’s exactly what I want, well, perhaps it’s supposed to be.

Discussions and Questions Mahindra Thar

Does the dilution of the Mahindra Thar's iconic status come at the cost of the 4x2 LX Automatic variant?
28 January 2025 11:15
They made a smart move with the 4x2 version. It doesn’t quite abandon its roots, but it keeps the Thar relevant in a changing market. It’s not just about off road ability, it’s about icon status.
Is Mahindra Thar 4x2 LX Automatic a right pick for first SUV buyers?
28 January 2025 11:15
It might be a bit much as a first SUV. The high seating position, and the boxy shape can make it tough for those who are used to driving sedans or hatchbacks. However, as you’re adventurous, why not?
Does the Thar 4x2 LX feel less 'raw' because of the automatic transmission?
28 January 2025 11:15
I suppose it's a fair trade off. It’s a bit of a loss of that old school charm, but you gain so much in terms of daily usability. Plus, the auto is pretty responsive when you need to be.
How does Mahindra Thar 4x2 LX Automatic fare as an urban SUV rival to Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos?
28 January 2025 11:15
I would say it's competitive, in its own way. Sure, it might not have all the bells and whistles, but it’s built like a tank and has presence on the road that the soft roaders can’t match.
Is the Mahindra Thar 4x2 LX Automatic a city slicker in disguise or a true off roader?
28 January 2025 11:15
Mahindra is doing a smart thing. What they are doing is making the Thar accessible to people who love the looks but don’t need hardcore off road capabilities. But it’s still more capable than most crossovers out there.
