  • The Mahindra Thar line-up has expanded with the arrival of the Thar RWD. There's no 4x4 but the lower price will sure tempt you. Jay Patil and Nikhil Bhatia bring you the details.

    RWD Thar will be a hit as most people who buy the Thar don't even take it offroading.

    • @glennmenezes4178
      @glennmenezes4178 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      Yeah I guess people would rather prefer thar in rear wheel drive than front wheel drive.

    Since Mahindra is eyeing primarily the City roads with this one, they should've retuned the suspension a bit so that dealing with bumps and potholes could've been better.

  • @travancorebiker
    @travancorebiker ปีที่แล้ว +56

    This is a VFM option for customers who are not interested in extreme off roading but like the styling and rough roading capability of the Thar. The waiting list will be strong err.. long with this one!😁

    A perfect matchmaking between the affordability (that the new customers who craved for a THAR to be in their budget) and the performance as well the looks that the THAR brings along. A thumbs up from every auto analysts and crowd will definitely make it a big hit .

    Mahindra just hit it out of the park with this version of Thar!
    Mahindra should only work on delivering it on time! This car could easily sell around 6k-7k units/month easily. For average enthusiast it's just perfect!

  • @uthams2
    @uthams2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    A good option for someone who wanted a cheaper Thar as a second car. (Not for a serious off-roader). This ticks all the boxes for majority buyers now

  • @AshwinT24
    @AshwinT24 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I drove it yesterday. The 1.5 diesel one. Not the most sporty or punchy to drive but does the job effortlessly and I feel it wasn’t made for comfort. It should have had a dead pedal and I did feel it throughout the test drive. It will sell good considering it’s macho X factor plus now it’s attractively priced ❤

  • @GbMuthu
    @GbMuthu ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I was hoping so much that it gets side facing rear row seats. How much is it's turning circle radius?

  • @vyshakreghukumar995
    @vyshakreghukumar995 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I own a Thar Diesel Manual 4WD, and frankly the new Thar RWD with the smaller 1.5L diesel seems like a much more ideal machine for me as per my current usage. I mostly use it within city limits and may have taken it on rough terrains maybe 1-2 times.
    However I do not regret buying the 4WD Thar, since I wanted to learn the 4WD driving skills and wanted my own machine for that. I do intend to take it off-road sometime soon.
    But my concern is, if I do not engage the 4WD system for a long time, will it get damaged in the long run?

  • @1502abhijit
    @1502abhijit ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Pretty interesting price point. Very difficult as a primary vehicle for most people. The front seats are a major issue, the thigh support is not great at all! That apart it tickets all the right boxes!
    Would definitely compare it to the Jimmy before making a final decision!

  • @sumanth_kumar

    Is there any improvement in the wind buffeting noise due to the plastic hardtop at highway speed? Over the earlier hardtops? Thank you

  • @RideWithRahulOfficial

    Absolute marketing masterpiece with the Thar 1.5 diesel, this is a full on statement car. Didn't get the mileage figures for 1.5 diesel on the video.

    • @lingtondaniel
      @lingtondaniel ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's about 14-15kmpl sir

    • @nanjeshkumar9162
      @nanjeshkumar9162 ปีที่แล้ว

      Considering the engine is from XUV 300, I'd say it will give you 12-13 kmpl easily.

  • @rahulandhislife
    @rahulandhislife ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Am a bit sceptical about how it will fair as given the price point one will rather want to opt for something like a Hyundai Venue or Kia Sonet which has the features, performance and refinement needed for this sub 4 meter segment. But yes it can be a 2nd fun car for any family for a Goa trip or picnics 😊. I would rather spend the extra 2 lacs and go for the 4x4 version petrol

  • @WaynePereira36

    I am a 6.4 inch person will i be able to drive comfortably and have a person sit behind me with same comfort? My current vehicle is a modified MM550 with Pajero turbo engine a metal under full body but a tarpaulin cover to show as per RC. It's a rough ride for me due to huge alloys, based on this I'm asking

    Best, idea, people love That not four wheel drive thar infact most of the guys I know who buy that four wheel drive actually didn't actually used the four wheel mode in long term they are daily commuters in life. So this one is gonna be a game changer or may be game increaser for THAR.

  • @shankarbalan3813
    @shankarbalan3813 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a runaway hit. It will be perfect for our cities which are perpetually under construction, huge potholes and speed breakers and bumps and which have hardly any roads to speak of.
    Dead pedal is NOT an absolute Must as you say. It is actually detrimental to tall people because it eats up essential space in the already cramped footwell. I speak as a tall person who is also a Thar 2021 owner.

    Mahindra always prioritises performance over efficiency. And I love it.
    But I think the engine from XUV 300 TGDI or even the one from the standard one would have been a better petrol engine for the RWD. The price would have substantially less as it comes under a small tax bracket.
