Key Vehicle Features
The Mahindra Thar is powered by the legendary 2.2L mHawk Diesel engine (or the 2.0L mStallion Petrol), paired with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. This powerhouse is equipped with a dedicated Shift-on-the-Fly 4×4 transfer case, allowing you to switch between high and low-range modes to tackle mud, sand, or rocky inclines with ease.
Inside, the cabin is designed to be adventure-ready, featuring washable interiors with floor drains and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that displays off-road essentials like pitch, roll, and a compass. Despite its rugged exterior, it keeps you comfortable in the humid Assam heat with a powerful air conditioning system and ergonomic front seats. For safety, it carries a 4-star Global NCAP rating, featuring a built-in roll cage, dual airbags, and ESP with Roll-over Mitigation.
One of the most surprising aspects of this SUV is its efficiency. The diesel variant offers a respectable mileage of 12 to 15 kmpl, which is excellent for a vehicle of its size and capability. This makes it a surprisingly viable option for a budget car hire in Guwahati when you consider that it replaces the need for separate city and off-road vehicles.
