Our take on this /// Verdict
The Mahindra Thar AX Petrol MT Soft Top (Standard) is a vehicle that embodies the spirit of adventure and off-road capability, but it also comes with some compromises. The 2.0L mStallion 150 TGDi engine is smooth, refined, and powerful, producing 150 bhp and 300 Nm of torque, making it a joy to drive both on and off the road. However, the rear seats are not very spacious, and the boot space is limited, making it more suitable for short trips with minimal luggage. The vehicles rugged looks and heritage styling are undeniable attractions, but the lack of certain comfort features and the awkward seating arrangement for rear passengers might deter some buyers. Overall, its a great choice for those who prioritize off-road prowess and a unique driving experience, but it may not be the best fit for family use or long road trips.
Price
The Mahindra Thar AX Petrol MT Soft Top (Standard) is priced at around Rs. 14.30 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other taxes, the price can go up to approximately Rs. 17-18 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing places the Thar in a competitive segment, especially considering its off-road capabilities and the unique experience it offers. However, the cost can be steep for some buyers, especially when compared to other SUVs in the market that offer more comfort and practicality.
