Mahindra Thar prices hiked by up to Rs 1.05 lakh

The Mahindra Thar is now priced between Rs 10.54 lakh and Rs 16.77 lakh.

With the BS6 Stage 2 norms coming into effect, Mahindra has increased the prices of the Thar by up to Rs 1.05 lakh.

Customers planning to order the LX Hard Top Diesel MT RWD variant will be affected the most, as they will have to shell out an additional Rs 1.05 lakh. The price of the AX (O) Hard Top Diesel MT RWD variant has been raised by Rs 55,000, while all other variants get a uniform hike of Rs 28,200.

Following the price hike, the Mahindra Thar range now starts at Rs 10.54 lakh for the AX (O) Diesel RWD variant and Rs 14.49 lakh for the AX (O) Diesel 4WD trim. The LX range starts at Rs 12.04 lakh and goes up to Rs 16.77 lakh for the LX Diesel AT 4WD variant.

Mahindra is reportedly working on a new entry-level variant of the Thar 4WD. It is expected to be a stripped-down version of the AX (O) trim and could be called 'AX AC'.
