In January this year, a few photos of Mahindra Thar were revealed revealing its safety details. In these photos, you can see the entire roof falling on it. Ratan Dhillon shared these photos on his social media account By looking at these photos you can also experience the strength of Thar. Let us tell you that Thar has achieved a 4-star safety rating in the Global NCAP crash test. It received a rating for adults and children.
Sharing these photos of Thar, Ratan Dhillon wrote that I trust my life to my Mahindra Thar. In an unexpected incident, the roof of our garage collapsed late at night last year. Four employees were employed to clean it and it took all day. Roofing bricks had fallen onto the hard roof of the Thar. In such a situation, Thar faced it bravely and his roof did not suffer any damage. This incident further strengthened my confidence in Thar’s safety. I am also confident that in the event of an accident, the passengers sitting inside will be completely safe.
Design difference of Mahindra Thar 2WD and 4WD
Speaking of design, it’s a little difficult to tell the difference from the outside. This means that even if both models are placed in front of you, you probably won’t be able to identify them easily. However, different badges for 2WD and 4WD are seen in both models. The front, rear and side views of both are similar. However, Blazing Bronze and Everest White color options will be available in 2WD. The big difference between the two is that in 2WD mode, only the rear wheel gets power. Whereas in 4×4, all the wheels are powered.

You will be able to buy Mahindra Thar 2WD in two engine options, 1.5 liter diesel and 2.0 liter petrol. The 1.5 liter diesel engine is capable of generating a power of 117 BHP and a torque of 300 Nm.

This engine was also used in Thar 4WD. While a 2.2 liter diesel engine is available as a second option.

Slight changes have been made to the interior of the Thar 2WD. There is a locker.
