New Suzuki Hayabusa Released: Special and Updated Versions Presented with Pricing

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.

Mahindra has expanded its compact SUV, the Mahindra XUV 3XO, by releasing a new variant called RevX Edge. This variant includes higher-level features, allowing consumers to choose a configuration with more options at an affordable price. The company has also increased the range of engines in the RevX lineup.

This variant is now available with both petrol automatic and diesel engine options. Thus, the company has provided buyers with numerous choices combining extra features with reasonable cost. The main features of the Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX Range are presented below.

Mahindra introduced the Mahindra XUV 3XO RevX Edge with a starting price of 9.39 lakh rupees for the petrol manual variant. The petrol automatic version costs 10.59 lakh rupees, while the diesel manual model will cost 10.59 lakh rupees including on-site charges.

The new RevX Edge and RevX Edge (O) models have been launched above the previously offered RevX M and RevX M (O) configurations. The RevX Edge configuration occupies an intermediate position in the overall vehicle lineup. The car is now available in 11 different configurations: MX 1, MX 2, RevX M, RevX M (O), RevX Edge, RevX Edge (O), AX 5, RevX A, AX5L, AX7, and AX7L.

The RevX Edge version is equipped with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. This configuration is also fitted with a rear-view camera, a USB Type-C port, and cruise control. The RevX Edge (O) model offers a panoramic sunroof, roof rails, electric folding side mirrors, automatic headlights and wipers, as well as a remote start button function.

Last year, the company released a vehicle with a 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol engine of 111 hp and a 1.2-liter turbocharged petrol TGDi engine of 131 hp. Mahindra has added a diesel engine to the RevX lineup, meaning consumers can now choose a 1.5-liter diesel engine of 117 hp. Furthermore, the 131 hp TGDi engine is no longer offered.
