Rumour: Mahindra Thar RWD prices hiked by Rs 50,000

The prices of the AX (O) Diesel MT and LX Petrol AT variants remain unchanged.

Mahindra launched the Thar RWD at the beginning of this year and prices are said to have been increased by Rs 50,000.

The Thar RWD is available in three variants. The prices of the AX (O) Diesel MT and LX Petrol AT variants remain unchanged at Rs 9.99 lakh and Rs 13.49 lakh, respectively. However, the LX Diesel MT trim now costs Rs 11.49 lakh (ex-showroom).

Interestingly, Mahindra is still offering select variants of the Thar RWD at an introductory price. It means bookings are yet to cross the 10,000 unit threshold.

The two engines offered on the Thar RWD include the D117 1.5-litre diesel, which produces 117 BHP and 300 Nm and comes paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The other option is the familiar 2.0-litre turbo-petrol that makes 150 BHP and 320 Nm. It is offered with a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
