Engine Performance Review

1.5L D117 CRDe Turbo Diesel (RWD)

117 bhp • 300 Nm

A highly efficient, lighter displacement diesel option tailored strictly for city and highway commuting buyers who love the Thar look but don't require heavy 4x4 mud hardware.

POSITIVES
  • Superior real world fuel efficiency index standard
  • Noticeably lighter front end handling feedback steering maps
  • Highly competitive initial variant pricing thresholds
NEGATIVES
  • Completely unavailable with a part-time 4WD mechanical shift array
  • Cannot be configured with any automatic transmission choice loops

Autocare Expert Verdict

The Mahindra Thar stands tall as an absolute lifestyle disrupter, converting off-road mountain utility into a mass cult status icon across India. Built on a heavy-gauge ladder frame chassis, its primary selling card is go-anywhere mechanical capability—deploying robust part-time 4WD hardware and mechanical locking differentials that render trails effortless. While its commanding stance and movie-star looks are unmatched, its stiff, bumpy ride tracking and tight 4-seater cabin footprint restrict it from acting as a standard family cruiser.

Unstoppable mud and trail off-road mechanical capability parameters
High road commanding posture with iconic street styling cues
Highly affordable entry level rear-wheel-drive (RWD) option packs available
⚠️ Stiff suspension tune results in noticeable cabin vertical pitching and bobbing notes over pavement
⚠️ Highly restricted 150-litre baseline luggage workspace inside behind rows
⚠️ Tall floor level requires a deep climbing jump stretch for rear row access
