"The Thar is a firm favourite among Mahindra and off-road enthusiasts alike for its 70-year pedigree and no-frills focus on off-roading. With the Adventure Series, we have added the most popular Thar accessories at a discounted price to create a model that is sure to find favour with this group of fans," says Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa.

The front bumper is fitted with coloured recovery points, a top bar for added grille protection, high-lift jack mounting points and built-in LED lights. A front tow bar or removable winch can also be accommodated on the front bumper. Buyers can also fit special Bundu Gear rock sliders.

The Getec steel canopy and roof section over the front seats can be removed for open-top driving while a rear canvas canopy is supplied as standard.

Standard A-line alloy wheels are fitted with standard tyres but buyers can opt for optional off-road Hankook Dynapro AT tyres suited for off-road driving.

The Thar Adventure Series is powered by a 2.5-litre turbodiesel engine with 78 kW and 247 Nm of torque. A 5-speed manual transmission is fitted along with a Borg Warner 4x4 system and low-range transfer case.

A total of 3 colours are available including Rocky Beige, Rede Rage and DSAT Silver.

The power is sent to all four wheels and the company has given a proper low-range gearbox. To further help the Thar during off-roading, the SUV gets a mechanically locking rear differential and independent front suspension. Mahindra is currently developing a new generation of Thar for the Indian market and it is expected to be introduced later this year.

That top looks nice! Wonder why Mahindra never offered anything similar in our market.
