The Thar 2WD’s official images were released by Mahindra recently. Mahindra have commenced Thar 2WD dispatches to its dealerships and we expect the carmaker to release the SUV’s engine, power, torque and transmission details soon.

Mahindra Thar 2WD Details Revealed

As we reported earlier, the Thar 2WD gets a 1.5L turbo diesel engine instead of the 2.0L turbo diesel engine found in the Thar 4x4 diesel variants. The 1.5L turbo diesel engine in the Thar 2WD produces 117PS of power and 300Nm of torque. According to a previous leak, the Thar 2WD with the 1.5L diesel engine will only come with a 6-speed manual transmission.

Furthermore, Mahindra are also likely to introduce 2 new colour options with the Thar 2WD — bronze and white.

Mahindra Thar 2WD Expected Prices

Since the Thar 2WD gets the same 2.0L turbo petrol engine as the 4WD variants, it will remain in the same tax bracket as the latter. However, the absence of a 4-wheel drivetrain will make the 2WD variant a lot more affordable. Meanwhile, the the Thar turbo diesel 2WD variant is likely to cost under Rs. 10.0 lakh (ex-showroom) since its engine fits under 1500cc. This could make it a potential rival to the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-Door.
