2011 Mahindra Thar, 4x4 off-roader

The much awaited 4×4 off-roader, Mahindra Thar is being launched in India and is targeted at the offroading enthusiasts, retro look seekers & people wanting to make a unique style statement. This new Mahindra Thar, a typical SUV in the C segment, is a true blue, stylish off roader, which is an evolved version of the Mahindra CJ340, the MM 540, the Classic and the Legend. Simply, this new Mahindra Thar is now all set to chart a new terrain in the Indian automobile industry.

Mahindra Thar is available with two engine options: CRDe and Di. The Thar CRDe is powered by a 2.5 litre diesel engine which develops maximum power of 105 Bhp at 3800 rpm and maximum torque of 247 Nm at 1800 rpm. Thar Di is also powered by a 2.5 litre diesel engine which develops maximum power of 63 Bhp at 3200 rpm and maximum torque of 180 Nm at 1440 rpm. This new Mahindra Thar uses new generation independent torsion-bar front suspension system in Thar.

Mahindra Thar has an approach angle of 46 degree and a departure angle of 30 degree with 200mm (7 inches) ground clearance, so it clearly means business when it comes to off-roading. Also it comes with an auto-locking hub lock system which means four-wheel drive excursions needn’t require anyone to get out of the car to manually lock the front hubs. The power is supplied through 16 inch tires with leaf springs at the rear.
