Mahindra Thar 2020 unveiled, offers petrol engine, feature-rich cabin and more

Mahindra Thar 2020 was officially unveiled on Saturday after an eager wait in what is one of the cornerstone offerings in the Indian automotive calendar for 2020. Thar has been a common sight on Indian roads - and where there are no roads at all - for nearly a decade and the 2020 version promises to marry the off-road capabilities with the comfort and convenience of daily commutes.

The biggest addition on the inside is a seven-inch 'drizzle-resistant' infotainment screen which is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The screen also displays 'adventure statistics.' The rear seats of the car are now forward facing while speakers are mounted on the top. Most interesting, perhaps, is that the car's upholstery is now completely washable. The sculpted bucket seats promise comfort in every terrain condition.
