In just 4 days of being launched, Mahindra has received more than 9,000 bookings for the new Thar. Prices start at Rs 9.80 Lakhs.
The prices of Mahindra Thar have been announced, which start at Rs 9.80 Lakhs up to Rs 13.75 Lakhs (ex-showroom). With the launch, official bookings have also commenced across dealerships. The manufacturer has now confirmed that they have received more than 9,000 bookings for the Thar in just 4 days of being launched. Our dealership sources confirm that enquiries are much higher than booking numbers.
Such is the popularity of the new Mahindra Thar is that every 1 minute, 2 units of the off-roader are booked across the country. We are expecting it to break the booking records that recently Kia Sonet, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos made. That will also have a direct effect on the waiting period, which we are expecting to be atleast more than a month from now. We will update the story when our sources confirm the exact waiting period.
