This will make things interesting.
Now my equation stands like this:
1. LX Petrol Manual - refinement, power and better than auto mileage
2. LX Diesel Manual - Diesel all the way, suits Thar's character, mileage a boon
3. LX Diesel Auto - best of all worlds for me
Now price is the only thing keeping me from fulfilling this dream, and this is going to be the biggest heart over head decision of life involving north of a million rupees.
Long live Mahindra. Another hour to go!
Absolutely not. They are targeting the extensively used petrol Gypsies in national parks. This cheaper variant will be easy choice for both officials of the parks as well as private park tour operators.
This might also soon be the preferred vehicle for police and other paramilitary forces who target the lowest price and a petrol engine. Especially for high altitude locations.
None of the above need or care for any differential locking mechanisms.
They are gunning for volumes this time around!
Most of the media reviews on YouTube are on the diesel manual and diesel auto. It will be interesting to see how the petrol manual performs.
Petrol model was comparitively lighter as compared to the diesel as per one reviewer who drove the Petrol Thar a week ago and compared with the diesel version drive at launch. He said the poise of the diesel thar was missing in the petrol due to the weight reduction in front and the petrol Thar was slightly more unsettled and bumpy ride as compared to the diesel.
Has time ever moved so slow !? It is unbelievable how much everyone including me is looking forward to this launch!
The news of a Petrol Manual option does make the overall appeal wider ! Somehow the refinement of a petrol is very lucrative even for a beast like this. 8 kmpl in the city should be acceptable figures for the Petrol AT and around 9 - 9.5 for the manual ?
I'm convincing myself here ! :D
I am so much wishing for someone to develop some ‘Jugaad’ for easy movement to and fro the backseats. This would then be perfect for me and my family of four. With a roof rack/box , this would be all the more desirable and practical :-)
Wow! Love the way Pawan Goenka started the discussion with Behram's memories. clap:
People who had doubts on Aakash Minda's bid would have received the answers from the live - His grandfather and father had both owned previous generations of the Mahindra.
Prices are out - starting at 9.8 Lacs for the AX Series
LX 12.49 - 12.95
Prices are damn good!
So LX auto is 13.29 Lakhs to 14.01 Lakhs? Need to ask my dealer for the full price list!
Mahindra Thar 2020 Prices revealed
Points Noted:
* Opening mention to
Mr. Behram Dhabhar and how the Thar was his vision.clap:
* Thar #1 will be copper colored.
* AX version mentioned as for the purists that want a functional 4x4.
* LX is the for the ones seeking luxury while off-roading.
* Deliveries start November-1 2020
Great Pricing for the AX series and the one I would definitely opt for next year (1 year cooling period for niggles, etc., as it is a new Mahindra) would definitely be the
AX Optional 4 seater Hard top Diesel !
But, just realised the LX Diesel Hard top is only 75k away !
*UPDATE - Test Drive Schedule* 
The new Thar prices revealed!
Pretty good pricing. Top end auto at 17 lakhs on road is in line with the other cars. I am on the way to the dealership to choose the color.
And that was a pretty short launch. I was expecting it to be way longer.
Just realized they quoted Auto prices as additional
City-wise All India test-drive availability

Great pricing. Auto transmission at an added price of 80K - 1.06 lakhs. So top end Diesel Auto would be around 13.75 lakhs ex-showroom! This is great value.clap:
In a similar tendency to the Sonet launch, they have kept the top end of the price range subdued. Better to say “the new Thar is launched between 9.8 to 12.95 lakhs” than to say “between 9.8 and 14 lakhs”!
They have been clever with the AX Optional pricing. With a difference of only 75K between AX Optional Diesel Hardtop and the equivalent LX variant, makes a lot more sense to go for LX for all the features. The pricing distribution really entices customers towards LX range with a relatively small premium being charged over AX Optional.
Interesting way they priced the Petrol versus the Diesel. The 20k price difference on the AX range ballooned to 45 K price difference in the LX range for equivalent trims.
Mahindra nailed it on the pricing IMHO.
This is priced bang against the compact SUV segment of Sonets and Nexons. clap:
