INTRODUCTION

The legend of the Mahindra Thar has been in the making for more than seventy years. The adventurer’s car of choice, it is the true successor to the MM540, Mahindra’s original all-terrain, come-what-may jeep since 1945.

With its classic body and contemporary features, the Mahindra Thar is tougher than you could imagine. Armed with the Borg Warner 4WD System that provides 2.48 crawl ratio in low-range, its traditionally high approach and departure angles (44º and 27º respectively), great overall clearance at 200mm, a new mechanical locking rear differential and auto locking hubs, you and your Mahindra Thar are ready to render the impossible possible.

The manual shift on fly 4WD with high and low ratio, along with the closely matched rations on the main gearbox enable the driver to maintain headway under most conditions.
