It’s been quite a while since the Mahindra Thar has gotten any major updates, so for 2024, the carmaker has decided to launch a special edition of the SUV called the Earth Edition. With prices starting at Rs 15.49 lakh, the Earth edition is based on the top spec LX Hard Top variant. Here’s a look at variant wise prices (all prices ex-showroom):
Petrol MT – 15.40 lakh
Petrol AT – 16.99 lakh
Diesel MT – 16.15 lakh
Diesel AT – 17.60 lakh
The updates are mostly cosmetic with a new Desert Fury satin matte finish on the outside along with sand-dune graphics on the doors and rear fenders and Earth Edition badge on the B-pillars. Inside, the headrest too gets a dune finish and the seats themselves are finished in beige. You also get Desert Fury inserts on the AC vents, steering wheel and on the centre console. To make things interesting, each of the Earth Edition cars will get an unique VIN number starting from 1.
The two engine options include a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol (152PS and 300Nm/320Nm MT/AT) and a 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel (132PS and 300Nm). Both engines can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The Mahindra Thar competes against the Force Gurkha and the Maruti Suzuki Jimny. That being said, the 5-door Thar is expected to launch later this year.
