Let's accumulate all Thar related posts in this thread. It'll prevent polluting the forum. But it'll also be fun.
New, BIGGER Mahindra Thar Spied For The First Time, likely to debut at the 2020 Auto EXPO.
Possibilities of the new Thar,
- New-gen Thar could make its debut at Auto Expo 2020
-Likely to be based on a new platform, new Thar should conform with future safety norms
- Likely to retain Jeep CJ5-inspired styling
- Looks significantly wider than the outgoing Thar
-Will get BSVI-compliant diesel engine and with more safety features
- Daily usability is expected to improve with improved seats and additional goodies
- Will continue to rival the Force Gurkha as Maruti is unlikely to bring the new Jimny anytime soon
According to my contacts, the Thar test-mule is just a chassis calibration mule for the upcoming Scorpio and other Mahindra products including the Thar which is still some time away.
It actually is the latest-gen Scorpio's Magna-built chassis that has seen further tweaking for future products. The body is just a mix and match and nothing that will make it to production.
