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.
