Mahindra Thar Variants List

Mahindra Thar Value for Money Variant

For most buyers, the LX variant of the Mahindra Thar is the most suitable option. It only costs about Rs. 61,000 more than the AX Optional and offers more than enough features to justify the incremental cost. This variant also has slightly better ground clearance with the larger tyre size and the option of automatic transmission. While the automatic itself seems quite expensive, when you factor in the value of the features of the LX variant over the AX Optional, the price of the LX automatic seems fairly reasonable.

The base AX Optional variant is only suitable for customers who already have another car in the garage and want the Thar primarily for off-roading. Since this variant is not available with an automatic transmission, it will also require more skill when driving off-road and will feel very engaging with a pure mechanical feel. While the AX (O) has slightly lower ground clearance, it makes up for that with a taller sidewall, which will have an easier time going over rocky terrain. The smaller wheel will also result in better torque delivery at the wheel as the engine has less rotating mass (16-inch instead of 18-inch in the LX variant).
