Mahindra Thar waiting period in May 2024
Mahindra says that the Thar receives around 7,000 bookings every month. The backlog has slightly reduced from 71,000 units in February 2024. This also means that the waiting period should be further down by about 4-6 weeks depending on the configuration. The Thar 4×4 had a waiting period ranging from 6 weeks to 2 months, while the Thar 4×2’s waiting period hovered between 4-10 months last month.
Mahindra Thar: powertrain, price
The Thar 4×4 is available in two engine options: a 152hp, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 132hp, 2.2-litre diesel. Both engines get the option of a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic. Pricing for the Thar 4WD ranges from Rs 14.30 lakh to Rs 17.60 lakh.
The 4×2 version of the SUV carries over the turbo-petrol engine, but gets a smaller 1.5-litre diesel engine making 118hp and 300Nm. The Thar RWD petrol is only available with the 6-speed AT, while the diesel gets a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard. The 4×2 variants are currently priced from Rs 11.35-14.10 lakh.
The Mahindra Thar line-up will expand this year with the introduction of the upcoming Thar 5-door. The 5-door version of the SUV will likely be called Thar Armada, and will be available with both petrol and diesel engine options along with a range of additional equipment over 3-door Thar.
