The new Mahindra Thar is set to receive its first price hike tomorrow, i.e. 1st December 2020, just two months after its launch

The second-generation Mahindra Thar has managed to become quite a popular vehicle in the Indian market, despite being a lifestyle product and not a mainstream one. In fact, the production capacity of the SUV had to be increased, in order to meet the demand! Now, the manufacturer has announced a price hike for the new Thar, effective from 1st December 2020.

The new-generation Mahindra Thar was launched at a starting price of Rs. 9.8 lakh, going all the way up to 13.75 lakh (ex-showroom prices, New Delhi). These were only introductory prices though, and the company has now decided to update the price list of the SUV. This revision would see an increase of a few thousand rupees on each trim level, on both diesel and petrol variants.

Customers who’ve booked their Thar by 30th November won’t have to pay the increased prices, although any changes made to a previous booking on and after 1st December will be treated as a fresh order, and customers will have to pay the updated prices for their vehicle. The new price list shall be revealed shortly, and we’ll update our readers on it soon.
