Thanks |
Factory fitted HT is not feasible for now. We are looking to provide HT as an aftermarket option. Looking for vendors. Sooner or later hopefully it would be available. This would benefit both existing and new Thar owners Quote:

Dhabar sir, we are committed to the project initiated and delivered by you/us. Thanks for your kind words. Upgrade is a sign of that commitment. Thar is here to stay and stay for long! Amen! Quote:

Just 1 quick question and I probably know the answer already, but I do remember reading a long time back that there were plans to upgrade the rear suspension of the Thar's to the Scorpio's; i.e. Multi Link Coil Suspension. Any word on the same?
Thanks

Multilink coil rear is not being considered for now. 1. Articulation levels at rear now is a big compensatory factor for IFS at front. dont want to dilute it. 2. Leaf spring is a cheaper option and ride levels can be set by removing a leaf if one wants a softer ride. More flexibility in the hands of customer. Quote:

similar response from Bhasin , they finally did call back. no final launch date has been communicated from M&M yet.
very eagerly looking forward to the launch and upgraded vehicle. |
TD vehicles should be available by the MID of May. Now we are busy catering to existing bookings. Limited production capacity is a big constraint. Please write to me on nookala.vinod@mahindra.com if you have any difficulties on booking front. Quote:

Yes....A/C has been mapped for air conditioning Quote:

No NIP. It continues to have the old dash. We evaluated providing new refresh Bolero dash but wasn't a fit due to technical and manufacturing reasons. May be possible in garage method, but not recommended. Quote:

I hope they haven't screwed up the well proportioned soft top in the name of "new looks"
Really looking forward for the brochure. |
Price has been increased to the tune of about 40K. This includes the cost of A/C + heater and recent excise duty hike of about 17 to 18 K!
Soft top quality has been improved with no change in looks. Quote:

Wrong inference JP1. If that was the case then even Thar Di would have got this change isn't it? We knew A/C was a sore missing point right from the date of launch. We couldn't give it because of X number of reasons then. To correct the situation we gave an option of dealer fitment barely 3-4 months post launch and now a factory fitted A/C + heater and immobilizer barely an year after launch. This shows our commitment even though this vehicle is not about volume game!
We would like to give a good looking HT option as well. Positively working towards it. I do maintain that this vehicle is for enthusiasts and by enthusiasts.
