Mahindra Thar LXT RWD AT

About
The Mahindra Thar LXT RWD AT is a 2-door, rear-wheel-drive variant of the iconic Thar, featuring a 2.0-litre mStallion TGDi petrol engine producing 150 bhp and 320 Nm torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It boasts a rugged ladder-frame chassis, double wishbone front suspension, and a multi-link solid axle rear suspension designed to handle rough terrain with confidence, though this 2WD variant is less focused on extreme off-roading compared to the 4x4 models. Key features include 18-inch alloy wheels, hydraulic tilt steering, and a well-updated interior with ergonomic improvements and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The Thars boxy and muscular design continues to command road presence, making it a popular choice for buyers seeking an authentic SUV with a blend of retro charm and modern technology. Its relatively limited rear seat space and cargo capacity mean it suits buyers who prioritize personality, drive experience, and weekend off-road capability over family practicality. The Thar LXT RWD AT is well-suited to Indian buyers who want a tough yet manageable SUV with an automatic gearbox for easier city driving.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Mahindra Thar LXT RWD AT stands out as a rugged and charismatic SUV that excels in delivering an engaging driving experience, especially for those seeking an urban-friendly off-roader with authentic Mahindra toughness. The 2.0-litre petrol turbocharged engine mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox provides a pleasant combination of power and smoothness, catering well to city traffic and occasional highway runs. While the rear-wheel drive layout slightly limits its hardcore off-road potential compared to the 4x4, it remains competent on rougher terrains and is perfect for users who prioritize style and daily usability over extreme off-roading. The hydraulic steering and solid suspension give it a sturdy road presence, although the ride feels a bit bouncy on uneven surfaces, which may impact long-distance comfort. Interior refinements and features have improved, but rear seat access and luggage space remain modest. Overall, the Thar LXT RWD AT feels like a lifestyle SUV that emphasizes rugged looks and spirited driving more than outright practicality or fuel efficiency, making it an appealing choice for buyers looking for a distinctive and robust SUV in the 14 lakh segment.
Price
The Mahindra Thar LXT RWD Automatic petrol variant is priced at around 13.60 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi. On-road prices, considering RTO, insurance, and other charges, come up to approximately 15.92 lakh in metro cities like New Delhi. Compared to its 4x4 siblings, the RWD variant provides good value for buyers who want the Thars robust appeal but at a slightly lower price point or without the 4WD hardware. However, the automatic petrol RWD Thar remains positioned at a premium over many mid-size SUVs due to its specialized character and off-road roots. The pricing reflects Mahindras niche positioning of the Thar as a lifestyle vehicle rather than a mass-market SUV. Customers should factor in that maintenance and insurance could be on the higher side given the vehicles unique positioning and accessories, but it compensates with strong brand appeal and ruggedness. This pricing structure suits buyers willing to pay for an iconic SUV presence combined with modern automatic transmission convenience in Indian urban and semi-urban environments.
Mileage
Thursday, 09 October 2025 02:30 PM The Mahindra Thar LXT RWD AT petrol delivers an average mileage of around 9 kmpl in real-world Indian driving conditions, which is on the lower side for petrol SUVs in this segment. Given the powerful turbo petrol engine and the vehicles substantial kerb weight, this fuel efficiency is expected. Buyers focused on running costs should anticipate higher fuel expenses compared to more fuel-efficient SUV rivals. However, if the priority is on capability and style rather than low running costs, the mileage is acceptable. Efficient highway driving may help optimize mileage, but urban driving will likely see numbers closer to the lower end of the spectrum.
