-   -   Mahindra Thar : Official Review (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/official-new-car-reviews/228360-mahindra-thar-official-review-66.html)

The License plate is Yellow letters over Black, and therefore, definitely not a private individual owned Thar.

This is a serious design flaw and should be addressed ASAP by Mahindra. Hope they have taken notice and are working on it.

Does anyone know what is being written in the RC book of the convertible Thar. Someone here in Chandigarh told me that the Registration authorities here are writing 'soft top' even for the convertible model and that you can't drive around with the roof open here.

Finally got my Petrol A/T delivered last Saturday, exactly 3 months after my booking on Oct 2. Haven't driven it much since then but since there are less reviews about the Petrol A/T, sharing my initial experience comparing to my cousin's Diesel A/T I drove for a few hours.

Engine:
Though the Diesel engine is pretty silent too, the Petrol engine is extremely refined, much more silent, smooth and peppy. The power is plenty, it just takes off when I press the pedal hard, overtaking at high speeds is very convenient. As per NVH levels, it would match any other Petrol engine available in the new cars like Honda or Hyundai.

Handling:
Both Diesel and Petrol are capable and instill confidence at higher speeds. My friend riding with me who has had a Scorpio automatic for a few years says that this is light years ahead in terms of refinement, comfort and handling compared to his Scorpio.

Mileage:
I haven't yet hit the peak Bengaluru city traffic but in medium traffic in the sub-urbs with a light Pedal, it does show 9+ on the AFE meter. I get a feeling that I may be able to squeeze 12 kmpl in real world Highway driving. I am ok with this as my Petrol i10 A/T gives me 8 and 11.5 respectively in city and on highway.

More on this when I clock a few hundred more on my odo with this.

Here is a pic of my RC Card - it clearly says Convertible Soft Top. While mine is registered in Coimbatore, as all registrations are done through Vaahan, should be the same everywhere too.


Congratulations on owing the elusive Petrol AT - is it a HT or a CT?

I would like to know more about your real life mileage (tankful to tankful) for both city and highway usage, do keep us updated! Also, the MID can be glaringly wrong, don't take it into account until you have a tankful-to-tankful mileage correlation for a at least 2 or 3 fill-ups. Happy Thar-ing!

It's a rental Thar, yellow numbers on black plate. It is registered on Ranjit Bros Taxi Service name.


The above snap should answer your query. This Thar is registered in Punjab and mentions CT (convertible top) on its RC.

Since a couple of years, RC mentions exactly what the OEM has entered on the RTO system for their vehicles, the same is printed, no deviation can be made at all.

My 2018 Nexon Etna Orange mentions Mari_Gold colour. Even the TMSC(Tata Motors Service Connect) has the Mari_Gold colour mentioned.

Some useful gyaan from my side.

1. The colour should be Napoli, not Nepoli.

2. The RC does not have the name of the owner and the address? Weird. All the RCs I have seen so far (not of the new Thar but of other cars including the old Thar) have these.

Cheers

This is an RC card, like aadhar card, name and address will be on the other side.

As for the spelling mistakes, some bloke in M&M has not been doing his job properly.

Mahindra & Mahindra announced hike in prices of its range of personal and commercial vehicles by around 1.9% with immediate effect.

In case of new Thar, the current price increase will be effective for all bookings done between December 1, 2020 and January 7, 2021.

Sorry but unreliable source AGAIN. The Mahindra website still has the old numbers. In case you have the official statement from Mahindra please do attach it here.

The price hike has been announced today itself as per the source which says (on Friday) , It may take some time to reflect the changed prices to appear on the site
Quoting what Veejay Nakra Said

The colour is a typo by M&M.

That is my RC Card, and the details on the other side - you don't think I will share my name, address, DOB, phone number, et all over the internet, do you now?!! rl:
But then, I am surprised how many PAN cards and Aadhar cards are out there if you do a simple image search!
:thumbs up

Again, the definition of "booking date" is ambiguous. In case of an online booking - is it the date when one has made the online payment and has got the Booking Reference No., OTF No. and Receipt Date (which in my case is 30th Nov)

OR

When the chosen dealer has pushed the booking onto the system (which in my case is definitely on or after 1st Dec).

hi,

The Price hike is confirmed by a stock exchange release Mahindra has to make to Bombay Stock exchange and National Stock exchange. The PDF release has been ported there. Not clear the extent of price hike model wise.
