The 2020 Mahindra Thar will have two trim lines - AX and LX. The AX or adventure series will be the lower-spec trim and have less features. Within the AX range, Mahindra will offer the AX AC and the AX Optional. The Thar AX will get petrol and diesel engine options with only manual gearboxes, along with a fixed soft-top roof. We expect that the prices of the AX range will start at Rs. 9.75 lakh and top off at Rs. 11 lakh.

The LX or lifestyle series will be the higher-spec trim and have more features and creature comfort. Mahindra will aim to target a wider set of audience with the LX models, especially people who may be looking for an SUV which is rugged and comfortable to drive on a day-to-day basis as well. The LX series will be offered with a diesel engine with a manual and an automatic transmission. However, the petrol engine will have only an automatic gearbox. The prices of the LX variants could start at Rs. 11.50 lakh and go up to Rs. 13.50 lakh.

The 2.2-litre mHawk diesel makes 130 bhp and 300 Nm of peak torque. The second engine is an all-new 2.0-litre mStallion T-GDI petrol unit which is more powerful and makes 150 bhp along with 320 Nm of torque. The 2020 Mahindra Thar is likely to be priced within Rs. 9.75 lakh and go up to Rs. 13.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Bookings for the new Thar will begin on October 2, 2020 itself and we expect the deliveries to begin towards the middle of October.
