Mahindra is in the final stages of the development of 2020 Thar. The off-roader will be launched in India by April with an expected price of Rs 10 Lakhs.
Mahindra is going to launch three new-generation cars this year. The first one that is expected to come will be the 2020 Mahindra Thar. We have another exclusive spy shots of the SUV being spotted testing in Gurgaon, Delhi NCR.
In this spy shot, we can see the 2020 Mahindra Thar in the final stages of production. It will get 255/60/R18 MRF tyres and probably better tires as an option on the top-spec variant. Also if seen properly, the spotted test mule comes in white colour. That may be just for the test mule or actually, more options will be offered.
Further, only the top-spec trims will come with alloy wheels. The base variants will get steel wheels with wheel caps. Also, there are chances of hardtop offered as standard on the top-spec trim while the base trims will get the option of that as well as soft-top.

Under the hood, the 2020 Mahindra Thar will sport two new engines. Behold the 2.0 Litre turbocharged petrol and diesel engine. The petrol motor will produce 190 PS and 380 Nm of peak torque. The diesel engine will put out 140 PS and 320 Nm of peak torque.
Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter AT. Four-Wheel-Drive system, low range transfer case gearbox, differential locking system and ergonomically developed handbrake will come on the new Thar.
Inside the cabin, there will be some tweaks done to the dashboard and seats. There will be bigger 7-inch touchscreen infotainment, new and lighter steering wheel, rear parking sensors and camera and lots of features added onboard.

Built on a completely new platform which is shared with new Scorpio, the Thar will be a lot lighter. Expect it to come in three or four variants, with prices starting at Rs 10 Lakhs (ex-showroom). Despite having another off-roader in the same price range, Force Gurkha, Mahindra Thar will remain the king in its class.
