Mahindra introduces new THAR OG model with updated specifications and prices

Mahindra has released a new version of its vehicle, named the Mahindra Thar OG. In addition to the name change, numerous updates have been made to this new model.

The new three-door Thar OG is equipped with a powerful engine, features a redesigned look, improved interior materials, and a new suspension system. The car is fitted with a new 2.2-liter diesel engine and an automatic transmission, which is now available even without four-wheel drive.

Mahindra has set the starting price for the new Thar at 10.32 lakh rupees for the exclusive configuration (ex-showroom). The base XT version will be equipped with a 1.5-liter diesel engine with a manual gearbox, which is also available in the LXT and ZXT configurations. This engine produces 87.2 kW (approximately 116.9 hp) and generates 300 Nm of torque.

The LXT and ZXT configurations will feature more powerful engines: a 2.2-liter diesel engine producing 150.1 hp and 330 Nm of torque, as well as a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine providing 159.6 hp and 330 Nm of torque.

The front end of the Thar OG has been updated: it features a redesigned grille consistent with Thar branding, as well as new LED headlights with C-shaped daytime running lights. Additionally, the vehicle is integrated with LED fog lights with built-in turn function.

Although the overall appearance remains similar to the current Thar and Thar Rocks, Mahindra has updated the SUV's front and rear bumpers. The vehicle is equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels, redesigned rear LED taillights, and OG branding on the tailgate.

The interior space of the SUV has undergone less significant changes than the exterior. Improvements in the Thar OG include brown leatherette upholstery (Truffle Brown Leatherette) and a second-row seat armrest. Mahindra claims that the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) level in the Thar OG has been reduced.

Regarding safety systems, the vehicle comes standard with six airbags. Mahindra states that this is the first vehicle in its segment equipped with the HPTS (Head, Pelvis, Thorax and Shoulder) airbag system, designed to protect the head, pelvis, thorax, and shoulders.

The braking system has also been modernized: the vehicle is now equipped with four disc brakes. Additional features available include ESP, traction control, Hill-Hold Control, and dynamic vehicle control system. The cabin is also fitted with front parking sensors.
