Mahindra & Mahindra will launch the new Mahindra Thar 1.5-litre diesel in India on January 9, according to several media reports. We are expecting the new Thar to be priced below Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) for the entry-level variant. Unlike the current Thar, which is a legit 4X4 beast, the new Thar will have a 2WD system. It will employ a 1.5-litre diesel engine, which will develop 117bhp of maximum power and 300Nm of peak torque. The engine will be paired with a 6-speed MT. A smaller engine and a 2WD system instead of a 4WD will lead to a substantial drop in Mahindra Thar prices. For reference, the Thar is currently priced between Rs 13.59 lakh and Rs 16.29 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Thar will have a sub-Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) starting price. In terms of rivals, the new Mahindra Thar will take on the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny, which will make its debut in a five-door avatar at the Auto Expo 2023. Mahindra recorded its highest-ever annual domestic volumes in the passenger vehicle (PV) market at 335,088 units in 2022 on the back of a strong show by its SUVs like the Scorpio-N, Scorpio Classic, Thar, XUV700, XUV300, Bolero and Bolero Neo. The company sold 203,390 units in 2021. At 332,628 units in 2022, the carmaker also posted its best annual utility vehicle (UV) volumes. It despatched 201,424 units in 2021.
