Mahindra Thar

The CarWale team tested the four-wheel drive (4WD) Thar facelift with a 2.2-litre mHawk turbo diesel engine. It makes 132bhp of power and 300Nm of torque and can be mated to a six-speed manual and automatic (torque converter). The gearbox and power delivery is smooth and turbo lag is minimal. In the off-road tests, it handled bumpy terrain and mud like a champ, even when half submerged and or with a wheel suspended in the air. The refinement levels of the diesel automatic are impressive, with NVH levels kept at a minimum. This powertrain is only with the LXT trim level.
