Mahindra Thar OG Walkaround - New Features, 4x4 Tech and Price | Thar Facelift | Times Drive

Meet the all-new Mahindra Thar 3-door, cross that because it is now the Thar OG. That's right, Mahindra has launched the facelifted version of its 3-door Thar, with the starting price set at a very attractive Rs 10.32 lakh ex-showroom. This means that it has remained unchanged from before, and the same applies to all the older variants. Mahindra has also introduced Nahi variants in this car, changed the design, and it's a lot more flashy than before, as you can see. And there are also significant mechanical improvements. We'll be discussing all these things, so I suggest you keep watching this video to learn all the details. So let's dive straight into it and talk about the changes, and first of all comes the changes in the front design. Well, finally we get to see projector LED headlights with C-shaped DRLs on the 3-door Thar. And the grille here is also special because it features this plaque right in the center, made of chrome, reading "Thar." This is something we don't get to see even in the larger version. Of course, here you can see the LED indicators; traditionally, the Thar used to have its DRLs in this location. You also get to see LED fog lamps right here in Ice Cube format. They've gotten a bit overconfident; we'll see how they perform later. and also the front bumper here now features front parking sensors and has been redesigned to look more rugged than before, I would say. And of course, in this particular car we're looking at, we also get to see this bug screen. If you look at the side profile, you won't visually notice any major change. But of course, the most significant visual change here are these new 19-inch alloy wheels. The design has been changed, and also the side body cladding that you see It now has much more pronounced creases than before. And you also get a new LED indicator here but the real change happens right there within because now the Thar comes with DaVinci dampers and frequency-dependent dampers as well It's a very complicated way to say something like that. That Mahindra claims that now the 3-door Thar is going to be much more comfortable on the road than before. Let's be honest, we'll see when we actually get to drive the car. So stay tuned to Time's Drive channel to find out more about that. but for now, let's move on and see what all the other changes have happened to the 3-door Thar Another major update that I would like to highlight is here You can see here, there is a disc brake now. That means Mahindra is now equipping the Thar 3-door with four disc brakes. which is also a significant update compared to before Then we'll talk again about the tail end design As you just saw, the OG badge appears right there on the rear tailgate. And I can see here, this panel right here as well Now this will remind you of the rocks. because this is the kind of shape that we have seen there the side cladding about which I told you earlier Yeah, there's a bit of creasing there too, you know. I've tried to enhance the look a bit. The same applies at the back as well. Of course, as always, you also get a rear defroster and a rear wiper system. Now you can see all LED tail lamps here And they look really nice; we've seen them before. and the one below that is the reflector Now this has a saber-tooth kind of shape. And you know, it looks very distinctive. and not similar to the other Thar models that Mahindra currently has in their lineup Of course, here you can see it for yourself. reverse parking camera integrated into the Stepney itself Let's just open Zara for a quick glance of the type of boot space with the rear seats fully folded down Well, of course. The car has a short wheelbase. There isn't much space here in this condition. but the good thing is Nothing has been changed from earlier. Everything has only been advanced. And with him, let's talk about the changes. inside the cabin of the Thar OG Now, of course I will talk about all the obvious changes. but too many changes Have been installed in the car We won't see you right away. I will also talk about you. but the 10.2 on the screen that we have previously seen in the rocks It has finally made it here.

Not done via Mahindra and that is the digital Driver Information Display You still have that same semi digital plus analog Driver information gauges can be seen here is happening, in the center you have a digital display, the fully digital driver information display that We have seen in other Thar Models are not being displayed. Here, that's a mistake, I would say. because I am certain that the fact that Mahindra has added new variants into the lineup of the Thar for those who want everything They wouldn't have minded these upgrades. to pay for that digital driver information display as well As you can see, Mahindra is also telling us that They have improved the second one. the front row or the backseat experience for the Thar 3 door and I'll just give you a quick glimpse. now if you come here, you will get to see That brown upholstery is yours It appears here, but this time around over the wheel wells or the wheel arches, you get to see if the packaging is a Much better, and now I can see you here It's coming, a glass holder as well, a glass or a bottle holder and overall the entire you know packaging The rear seat has been improved.
