Mahindra Thar Desert Fury Colour

Selecting the right car would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, etc:The LX variant of the Thar not only offers more roof options across engines, but it also brings the new automatic transmission options to the table. It also adds a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with six speakers (four of which are mounted to the roof), apart from adventure-centric programmes on the touchscreen to enhance your off-roading experiences. So if you are looking for a car that not only looks stylish but can also tackle the daily grind with ease, the Thar’s LX variant seems to fit the bill.The base AX variant of the Thar doesn’t get a music system or even forward-facing rear seats and most importantly, it can only be had in a fixed soft top configuration. The base variant of the Thar will require you to get a lot of aftermarket customisation work done, which is fine if that is your intent in the first place.While the AX Opt variant of the Thar doesn’t pack in stuff like a music system, it still manages to do enough to get the basics right. You will have to hit the aftermarket for a few accessories such as a sound system and alloy wheels but that’s about it. While the convertible soft top is a welcome first on the Thar, the petrol variant in this variant cannot be had with the first-ever factory-fitted hard top roof. That is something you simply can’t do without in the Indian summer. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision.

Mahindra Thar is available with two engine options: a 130PS/300Nm 2.2-litre diesel engine and a 150PS/320Nm 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine. Both engines are offered with a choice of 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, and with a 4x4 drivetrain with a low range transfer case as standard. Moreover, the reliability of the gear box would depend on certain factors such as timely maintenance, driving conditions, driving style, keeping a check on car's health, etc. The petrol-automatic feels very refined and torquey to use. The Aisin-sourced 6-speed automatic was unsurprising; smooth but slow as durability is more important than lightning quick shifts in vehicles such as the Thar. For a better understanding of compatibility and performance, we would suggest you to take a test drive.
