Let's Discuss this in Forum

Mahindra Thar has been launched today (21st December) by one of India's biggest names in the auto mobile industry, Mahindra & Mahindra. The jeep like SUV is priced at Rs 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom), New Delhi and in Jaipur with a price tag of Rs 4.47 lakh (ex-showroom), New Delhi. Mahindra Thar will be unfolded in five cities across India by the end of December and by January 2011, it will be launched across India. The sturdy and stylish SUV Mahindra Thar, is a true off roader which is affixed with 2500 cc along with four cylinder diesel injection common rail powertrain which is sure to crush the road really hard. The classic jeep will fetch a massive power of 107 KW crushing the gravel beneath the machine.

Mahindra has already launched the jeep in the South African auto market and is doing quite well there and with the over whelming response, the Indian auto giant wished to create the same magic in the Indian SUV segment also. All those who were missing the fun to move through the rough roadways will get the experience back with the brand new gypsy, Mahindra Thar caters to them. The jeep aficionados will get nostalgic as Mahindra Thar will remind them of MM550 and MM540. The new generation jeep from Mahindra stands for being tyrant on road, offers endurance and accomplished driving pleasure on hardest of the terrains. The Mahindra Thar is the driver's confidence to take the new jeep on deep slush to high altitudes on the less travelled path too.

It doesnt have Air conditioning available, whereas M&M says its AC ready that means you can retro fit an aftermarket AC, i assume it doesnt have power windows aswell,the only welcome change is that of power steering.

i dnt think it fits into lifestyle of an average indian ,not to mention extreme weather n .. also pollution in cities ,,u dnt want to be exposed to all dese... n offroad travel never meant eating dust .

Reply By gokul 31 Dec,2010 02:46:43 PM

its not a car or soft thing like that. it is an off-roader which is meant to be used in paths which are not good for vehicular traffic.it is not for children to play with,but for real jeep enthusiasts............so no need of power windows or ac.......

Asked By Sonuu 22 Dec,2010 08:42:09 AM

If really A.C. is not there,it will be very awckward thing which had done by Mahindra

Reply By nagesh 27 Dec,2010 03:17:45 PM

A/c is available as a separate kit and the vehicle available with soft top depends upon the customers interest they can customize accordingly,

Asked By sam 22 Dec,2010 09:47:11 AM

SAME SHIT- DIFFERENT DIA. What else people could comment about this product? I think M&M is in reverse gear now. Please understand that we can alter a secondhand Maheendra Jeep into THAR by spending less than Rs.75000/- rather than throwing Rs 600000/-.

Reply By Tushar Ray 22 Dec,2010 11:42:25 AM

Absolutely correct Sam..maybe 30 K extra will get you alloy wheels fat tyres

Reply By nagesh 27 Dec,2010 03:54:50 PM

i feel it's worth to pay 6L to this vehicle,now the engine is CRDe, smooth drive,excellent driving pleasures,very good suspension & abs kind of brakes i would suggest you to take the test drive and fee the vehicle

Asked By K.A.Joseph 22 Dec,2010 10:07:27 AM

Great! A vechile which we at Kerala state had been looking forward to....., frankly, we really need a rough and tough Bull dozer like this to survive in Kerala where we have no roads to drive, since, jokes aside, we have to drive IN and OUT of Potholes which are bigger than the Car itself. However, I am rather disappointed to note that this SUV do not have an A/c and wonder whether we can fix one into this machine, like we did for the Amby during her golden days..!! Rgds, Jopen,Cochin.

Asked By Sumit 22 Dec,2010 11:01:47 AM

It is good that we are getting a 4x4 offroader at that price. I wish that some tour and rental operators will take fancy of this vehicle and starting renting it out to the enthusiasts willing to take a offroad trip to the roads less travelled or the mighty Himalayas. Don't have the money to buy it, especially it doesn't have the city use, but would like to rent it one day to take a trip to Leh.

Asked By nishidh kumar 22 Dec,2010 11:39:35 AM

The latest version of Mahindra Thar is not meeting the World standard of design and facilities.You make kindly ask the designer to look in to various foreign vehicle web-sites,you need not travel abroad.All he needs to do make an effort look-in various vehicle web sites only bse so many multinational company's vehicles launched in India

Asked By Nikhil 22 Dec,2010 12:22:07 PM

Really disappointing. AC is must! Mr. Desiner @ mahindra :: SIR... its 21st century! i guess u havnt heard abt Global warming!! lol.... Get a new version with all features asap to capture market, its not a military only vehicle now!!

this jeep is awesome but the bonnet and front radiator part of this jeep looks very old like marshal.

Asked By Alok 22 Dec,2010 03:48:34 PM

Guy's... Why do you need an A/C, Power Windows for... Understand the concept... You are not gonna take this Vehicle to Office / Weddings, right... Go off road... A/c must in an open vehicle..!! You all have gone nuts.. :P

Reply By Girish 22 Dec,2010 06:13:14 PM

Alok, i am Africa. I am driving a Toyota Hillux 3000cc turbo diesel. The amount of dust that I use to eat in my previous Nissan Hardbody non AC pick up, i got a dust allergy within a months time. Off road doesnt mean only jungle, it means murrum roads and the importance of AC is known in these African or other European countries where TAR ROADS are only national roads. I agree with you for power windows, but these guys are promoting their product with these features, thats wrong. Regards

Asked By raj 22 Dec,2010 04:46:45 PM

The jeep likes as old model.Come with new looking as of the foreign jeeps.Every model sholuld not be the same looking.We need change in living and change in wandering.So keep it up.Best luck for the next time. Raj

Sir, I like Mahindra Thar but Mahindra Classic had Too good Of Thar

Asked By VENKATARAMANI.S 22 Dec,2010 06:17:36 PM

Great.Stylish,good looking - for teenagers.Good without AC because it is for off roads driving only (good with natural AC).Indian company thing of these type of jeeps at this time is great.Mahindra will takes Risk always.Wish M&M all the best and have a great sucess Be Indian & Buy Indian

Asked By Sumanth 22 Dec,2010 08:14:19 PM

Well to go by I would surely like the vehicle for the use it is intended, off road driving needs no AC, and if u do use AC in such situation u burn ur tank.... Accepted this is a tweaked version of MM540, but if u have seen a customised MM540 u wud surely take Thar. But a little addition like front looking rear seats (company fitted) would be appreciated. plus pls put a hard top and AC for those who cant take a little dust n heat...and a rear door with some flab so as to keep open and mount ur bicylce on it wud be too good, a-la the Skoda outdoor prototype shown in AutoExpo Delhi-06. the pricing is good below 4.5 lakh. jus for the AFICIONADO

I don't understand ....What M&M is planing????this is the same old jeep seen earlier..nothing much to talk about the thar!!!! for sure it won't be a good choice for india's hot climate.....there r no features(even basic, i would say) in this car... i don't think it will be a hotseller...because these days , there r a lot of suv's and jeeps which offer car like comfort and true off road...trust me!!

Asked By Komal Sharma 27 Dec,2010 10:47:06 AM

Come on friends it's a off-roader Jeep for adventure. So don't cry for an AC. If Mahindra is not providing AC in THAR then it is good, if fact according to me power assisted steering is also not required and in-fact an off-road vehicle must not have a power steering. All these luxuries consume vehicle power which is not a good sign for off-road Jeep. Of course I would prefer the Disc breaks and that should be provided for front as well as the rear wheels. Hydraulic clutch is good. 5 Speed gear box is very good. Over and above for an off-road vehicle we don't want automatic 4X4 transmission like ENDEAVOR. Jeep must have most of the things manual. I would prefer if it is fitted with WINCH from the company itself. Friends if you are looking for luxury go for Scorpio, Safari, Aria etc... People who are driving luxury cars please stay at a distance from THAR. YES OF-COURSE PUNJAB THEE JAT who are driving WILLYS-CJ, GYPSY-King, Mahindra Classic, Army MM-540, JONGA, Force-GURKHA believe me this is the X-MAS gift for us all. Regards

Asked By ganeshkumar t 27 Dec,2010 10:54:48 AM

wow its awesome i like to buy this jeep.

Asked By Manpreet 27 Dec,2010 02:47:53 PM

Actually What Mahindra had done is a great job and we shud appreciate this thing indeed,and other things we can put ourself,which we all are taking about they have left in it,,,one benifit which i feel is that we can register this vehical anywhere in india no hassel of going to other state for registration matter,,,and no police nig nags,,,about the documents..lets enjoy M&M Efforts. Regards Manpreet

Asked By prashant 30 Dec,2010 07:51:27 PM

WAIT WAIT.... BEFORE PURCHASING THIS THAR JUST IMAGINE YOU ARE DRIVING IN APRIL - MAY SUMMER AT 12 - 2 PM TIME, WITHOUT AC. N AMPLE OF DUST...!!! I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF THESE MAHINDRA ENGINEERS HAVE NO FAITH TOWORDS THAR OWNERS... THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE MONEY ON LOOKS OF THIS OFF ROADER, AC IS MUST NOW A DAYS OTHERWISE U CANNT EVEN DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT AFTERNOONS OF APRIL AND MAY. ..... I HOPE U WILL THINK OF THIS B4 BUYING... N MAHINDRA SHOULD SERIOUSLY THINK OF DELIVERING QUALITY N FEATURES OTHERWISE OTHERS ARE THEIR TO FULLFILL THESE LAPSES AS SUZUKI IS LAUANCHING ITS OFF ROADER SUV SHORTLY.

Asked By amung konyak 07 Feb,2011 09:55:17 PM

first i think the thar would be an excellent alternative to the gypsy... being a diesel engine... secondly, i think mahindra should have different variants available like ac/non ac , power window/non power windows, hard top/ soft top,fog lamps , even factory fitted winches during bookings or pre order....that ways it would satisfy all customers... maybe it'll make maruti suzuki take notice and bring out an improved gypsy with the K series engine in both petrol and diesel variants... that would be a lotta fun...

Asked By JaiCee 19 Mar,2011 04:56:09 PM
