Mahindra has launched the updated 4*4 version of Thar SUV at a price of Rs.6.86 lakhs (Ex – Delhi). The new Thar CRDe holds an AC and an engine immobilizer as its standard features. It is powered by a 2.5-litre common rail turbo diesel engine coupled to a five-speed manual transmission. The engine churns out 105bhp of maximum power at 3800rpm and 247Nm of peak torque at 1800rpm.
This on-off road vehicle features an air-conditioner only in its CRDe version and the DI engine version of Thar still remains without AC and is cheaper than the Thar CRDe around Rs.87,000. The new Thar CRDe has a ground clearance of 200mm and will be well suited to the urban road conditions.
