Launched earlier this year the all new Mahindra Thar was a much anticipated car even before it got launched in the market. This rugged and tough looking car looks like it is ready to take on any kind of road if challenged and we are right to think that way Mahindra has done an amazing job on making this car to drive on both on road and off road with ease and smoothness. This car is simply comfortable to drive with its silent and smooth driving experience and fits a lot of criteria of many consumers.
Performance under the hood
Comes with a 2.o litre m stallion petrol engine which is one of the most highlighting factors of the car produces around 150 bhp with 320 Nm torque rate .Now coming to the performance of the engine this car totally inaudible while driving and give the smoothest ride. The six speed gearbox transmission is not very smooth during shifting one from the other but can be used to get the work done. The best part of driving this car is its effortless driving experience may e we are in traffic, in the highway or while crossing a bumper this car never weavers and runs with ease in any situation.
Handling ride
The things we will notice first while riding this car is it is one hardy produce. It feels like a hard rock shell from outside which cannot be penetrated. Although this car gives an amazing driving experience but it can be more comforting while driving like the Hyundai Creata. Also this car feel to be heavier to drive in low speed, but this problem never applies if we pick up the speed limit higher.
Interior design and quality
Although the essence of the older version remains in the design of the interior but there are more upgrades and the new cabin design will surely give a new lookout to the car. The centre console designed like in a mini cooper with a line of toggle switches is a new addition and also fun to use in this car. The large door widow mirrors helps in visibility but the windscreen in the front is not very satisfactory for its unclear view. Coming to the seating arrangement as the seat almost equal to the floor there is no space to support our thigh. As there is not much space to begin with a long ride is not very comforting for the rear passengers. But when it comes to the front seats the scenario is different there is back support and adjustable knob in the side. When comes to the boot space it is really disappointing with only a tiny area that can only hold really soft and sleek bags.
Features and instruments
- The car comes equipped with features like multifunctional steering wheel with cruise adjustment control and tilt adjustment control in it.
- Also there are adjustable driver seat, electric window and door mirror and also central remote locking unit.
- When it comes to safety measure also considering off road driving there are tyre pressure monitories, ABS with EBD, Roll cage, rear parking sensorand dual airbag.
Conclusion
Let’s look through Pointers that goes in favour of this car the first thing is the engine of the car this auto petrol version model comes in a price of 16.26 lakh is just enough reason to get this car. With few flaws like the little boot space and unclear rear window and less leg room are surely some problems. But above all this car is still a good buy because of the mechanism inside that make this petrol car run oh so efficiently in both on road and off road and only this reason is good enough to get this car.
