The All-New Thar Celebrated Its Launch Anniversary with 75000 Bookings
The All-New Thar continued its relentless march to automotive folklore and clocked 75000 bookings just a year after its launch on Mahindra Group’s 75th Anniversary on 2nd October 2020. It has breached the traditional boundaries set by off-roaders and invaded the dreams of metro-based young, urban buyers who are looking for an authentic yet sophisticated SUV experience. Not surprising that millennials account for over 40 percent of bookings. Another interesting fact is that almost 50 percent of the bookings are for the automatic variant and 25 percent of the total bookings are for the Petrol variant. The last generation Thar was available only with diesel engines and a manual gearbox option. Today, the All-New Thar is the largest selling 4WD vehicle in India.
