Five reasons why new-gen Mahindra Thar promises to be a game changer
The new-gen Mahindra Thar is easily one of the most-anticipated cars of 2020. Its prototype has been spotted doing rounds on the public roads several times in the past and it looks like Mahindra has left no stone unturned in the making of the new generation model.


Here's why it might be another game changer from Mahindra:
Better daily driver:
With the new generation, Mahindra Thar will evolve as a more road-friendly SUV unlike the first-gen model which focused only on hardcore off-roading audience. The new Thar will be a better daily driver which will also suit daily city roads and thus its overall customer base will be broader.
Bigger than before:
Obvious from the countless spy images seen till date. The new-gen Thar has a wider, bolder stance with more prominent wheel arches and taller height. It looks slightly bigger than the model it replaces and that should make it a more aggressive looking SUV. Unlike the previous model, this time Mahindra will launch the Thar in both soft as well as hard roof top options.
