The Indian auto giant wants to ensure that potential buyers don’t go to buy the Maruti Jimny after launching the Mahindra Thar Roxx.
The 3-door Mahindra Thar is on sale with discounts worth an enticing Rs 1.80 lakh. This could potentially be due to the ultra-attractive pricing of the Thar Roxx. The latter is the 5-door version of the regular Thar. However, Mahindra has not just simply extended the wheelbase, but changed the SUV in its entirety. For instance, it gets a new platform, a larger cabin space, recalibrated engines, more modern tech, higher safety and a more comfortable cabin. Therefore, people with large families would ideally opt for it. However, to make sure that the original Thar remains desirable, these offers are available.
3-Door Mahindra Thar with Discounts Worth Rs 1.80 Lakh
As per the latest details, a showroom in Gurgaon is offering benefits worth up to Rs 1.80 lakh on the 3-door iteration of the Mahindra Thar. This will ensure that a significant price gap is maintained with the newly launched Thar Roxx. In this manner, if anyone is looking to spend less than what the Thar Roxx costs, he/she can still stick to the Indian car brand instead of going to other car companies like Maruti Suzuki. In fact, in the last few months, we have seen Maruti Suzuki offering incredibly enticing discounts on the Jimny as well. Hence, it is understandable that buyers can get confused. Now, if they wish to stick to the Thar moniker, these massive offers on the 3-door Thar will be greatly helpful.

The 3-door Mahindra Thar comes with a 2.0-litre mStallion turbo petrol engine, a 2.2-litre mHawk turbo diesel engine and 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine options. These produce a healthy 150 hp / 320 Nm, 130 hp / 300 Nm and 115 hp / 300 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. Buyers can choose between either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The top variants offer the option of going for the 4×4 configuration. The prices range from Rs 11.35 lakh to Rs 17.60 lakh, ex-showroom. This is definitely enough for the size of this SUV to make it one of the most capable cars around.
