Expected to launch in 2018.
One of the members of a 4x4 enthusiast group in Facebook has uploaded a rendering of the next generation Mahindra Thar, which is rumored to arrive in showrooms from 2018. Note that these are unofficial, fan-made renderings.
The Mahindra Thar saw its last update in 2015.
As enthusiasts would prefer, the styling of the next gen Mahindra Thar is likely to retain its old school, Willys-inspired look, although do expect some contemporary design elements that further modernizes the exterior.
The next Mahindra Thar will be based on a new body-on-frame platform which will have better structural rigidity to meet future crash test norms. To meet future emission norms, the engine under the hood is likely to be a 1.5-liter unit from the mHawk family of diesel engines, although it’s unclear if it’s a retuned version of the unit in the TUV300 or a downsized version of the 1.99-liter in the Scorpio.
