The Mahindra Thar has been the top-selling lifestyle SUV in India since its arrival back in 2020. The high demand has resulted in long waiting periods that even stretched to over a year for few variants in the past. However, an increase in production as well as higher average monthly deliveries has helped the carmaker reduce the waiting period significantly. The 4×4 variants now have a waiting period of up to 3 months, while the 4×2 version has a waiting period of just over 2 months.
Mahindra Thar 4×4 waiting period
At the moment, the 4×4 variants of the Mahindra Thar have a waiting period of up to 3 months on the range-topping hard-top petrol and convertible variants. Delivery times for the hard-top diesel variants stretch to just over 2 months.
The Thar 4×4 is available with two engine options: a 152hp, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 132hp, 2.2-litre diesel. Both engines get the option of a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic. Prices for the Thar 4×4 currently range between Rs 14.30 lakh-17 lakh for the petrol, while the diesel variants are priced between Rs 14.85 lakh-17.60 lakh.
Mahindra Thar 4×2 waiting period
The Thar 4×2 has a waiting period of up to 2 months on the diesel version, and just over 2 months on the petrol. The Thar 4×2 gets a 1.5-litre diesel engine that generates 118hp and 300Nm of torque. The diesel gets a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, while the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol, which is shared with the Thar 4×4, is only offered with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Prices ranges from Rs 11.35 lakh to Rs 14.10 lakh.
