- Will be slotted below the current AX (O) variant
Mahindra will soon roll out BS6 Phase 2 updates for its SUV line-up. While the details of BS6 2 Thar can be read here, we have now learnt that the automaker could soon introduce a new variant in Thar’s line-up.
Mahindra Thar’s new variants
The leaked document reveals that the Thar will soon get a variant revision. Alongside the current AX (O) and LX variants, the off-roader could also be offered in a new AX (AC) variant. The new trim will sit below the AX (O) variant and will miss out on features that are otherwise offered with it.
The exact feature list of the AX (AC) variant is not known yet. However, unlike the AX (O) version that is available with jump seats in the rear row, the new one is expected to get front-facing second-row seats.
Thar BS6 2 engines
As per a recently leaked document, the diesel and petrol powertrains offered on the Thar will soon be updated to meet the BS6 2 norms. Presently, the Thar gets two diesel engines (1.5-litre and 2.2-litre) and one petrol engine (2.0-litre). Both mills can be had with manual and automatic gearboxes.
