The 2020 Mahindra Thar, one of the most awaited launches of the year, garnered rave response from the customers. Mahindra’s hard work has impressed enthusiasts, journalists and even potential buyers. Shortly after its launch, the bookings for the new SUV went through the roof such that it is now all booked up until May of 2021.
Now, a new spy shot of the 2020 Thar recently caught sight after it made its way online. A new Silver colour SUV was observed on road, which is not yet officially available through Mahindra. The aforementioned SUV has some camouflage covering the doors, however, the Thar seen in Silver colour comes equipped with steel wheels preferable for off-roading. Mahindra could be anticipating to launch some new colour options or the carmaker can also introduce a Silver colour for the 2020 Thar in near future.
The spy snapshots of the SUV started circulating on the internet after a Facebook user named Sarath Santham shared it on the platform, reports Cartoq.
The 2020 Mahindra Thar is powered by one petrol and one diesel engine. It is mated with a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque automatic transmission gearbox. Earlier, the Thar was only available with a diesel engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. A new petrol engine is now being offered since it was showcased at the Auto Expo 2020. It also comes with an automatic gearbox which could be a reason for the 2020 Thar’s success and attracting a host of new customers for Mahindra.
