Mahindra Thar (2014) Updates

Saturday, 10 January 2015 07:01 PM The Thars electronic stability control was also tested by Global NCAP, which recommended improvements to enhance its performance in real-life scenarios. I believe that continuous improvements in safety features are essential for any vehicle.

Monday, 15 December 2014 05:09 PM Global NCAP tested the Thar and raised concerns about the safety of its side-facing rear seats, which lacked three-point seatbelts and ISOFIX anchorages. Mahindra subsequently stopped sales of this variant and made forward-facing seats the standard. I think this move was crucial for ensuring passenger safety.

Saturday, 01 November 2014 07:19 AM The Thar CRDe was priced at Rs 7.35 lakh, while the Thar DI was more affordable at Rs 4.81 lakh (Delhi prices). This pricing strategy helped the Thar appeal to a wide range of buyers. I believe the pricing was a key factor in its success.

Wednesday, 15 October 2014 10:30 AM Despite its strengths, the Thar had some drawbacks, such as high noise levels at speeds beyond 110 kmph and the need for better insulation and carpeting. I think addressing these issues could enhance the overall driving experience.

Wednesday, 10 September 2014 06:36 AM The Thars engine was powerful enough to take the vehicle from 0-100 kmph in 17 seconds, which was commendable for its size and aerodynamics. It also had impressive acceleration through the gears. I believe this performance makes the Thar a joy to drive both on and off the road.

Wednesday, 20 August 2014 09:03 AM Off the road, the Thar performed exceptionally well, handling various terrains such as loose sand, slush, and jungle trails with ease. The 4x4 mode was particularly useful in challenging conditions. I think this capability is what sets the Thar apart from other SUVs.

Tuesday, 15 July 2014 08:24 PM The Thar CRDe was praised for its butch styling, wide stance, and bulging bonnet, which gave it immense road presence. However, the interiors were criticized for their poor fit and finish. I believe that improving the interior quality could make the Thar even more appealing.

Monday, 31 March 2014 06:41 PM In the financial year 2014, the Mahindra Thar saw a significant sales growth of over 10%, indicating its popularity among SUV enthusiasts. This growth was attributed to its unique blend of retro styling and modern performance. I think this growth shows how well the Thar resonated with the Indian market.

Tuesday, 05 October 2010 09:08 AM The Thar CRDe and Thar DI were the two main variants available, with the CRDe being a hardcore off-roader and the DI positioned as a more affordable, rural option. The CRDe was powered by a 2498-cc engine producing 105 bhp, while the DI had a 2523-cc engine with 63 bhp. I believe the CRDes power makes it a great choice for urban dwellers who love off-roading.

Monday, 04 October 2010 06:49 PM The Mahindra Thar, introduced in 2010, replaced the Mahindra Major and is part of Mahindras line of off-road vehicles inspired by the CJ-3B Willys Jeep. It is known for its rugged design and off-road capabilities. I think its heritage and performance make it a favorite among off-road enthusiasts.
