But, that’s for the next year. Back to what we have this year, the all-new Thar. It has been recently spotted with a set of new colour schemes, a white and a silver paint job.
Mahindra Thar when launched was definitely one of the biggest launches of 2020 and it garnered a great response from buyers and the auto enthusiasts and media alike. It has been generating good sales numbers since its launch. It was recently spotted with new colour schemes – White and Silver. Currently, the Thar 2020 is available in a choice of seven paint schemes – Aquamarine, Napoli Black, Rocky Beige, Red Rage, Mystic Copper and Aqua Marine Galaxy Grey.
Mahindra Thar 2020 has enjoyed a good demand in the Indian market, so much so, that the waiting period for select variants has extended to over six months. The firm has also decided to ramp up the manufacturing of new Thar in order to maintain the supply-demand chain and bring down the delivery timing.
Currently, the new Thar is offered in AX and LX series with soft top and hardtop options.
