Mahindra Thar (Daybreak Edition Custom Package)
Mahindra had showcased a heavily customised Thar
‘Daybreak Edition’ at the Auto Expo 2016, which was thought to be a one-off
example for the biennial show. However, M&M is
offering Thar owners the Daybreak Edition customization kit at INR 9.6 Lakhs
(excluding the donor Thar).
The customization will be done entirely by the
inhouse ‘Mahindra Customisation’ division, and takes two months to complete the
build. It features a matte grey exterior, factory-fitted winch attached to a
set of Stinger Bumpers, offering more protection to the car’s radiators,
LED-powered rings inside the headlamps, LED taillamps, and an air scoop on the
bonnet. While the model showcased at the Auto Expo 2016 had no roof, Mahindra
can fix a solid roof for another INR 1.5 Lakhs.
The highlight of the Thar Daybreak Edition is the
massive set of 37-inch Maxxis Trepador tires, which significantly increases the
ground clearance and rock crawling capability. The rear-end feature dual
exhausts finished in chrome.
No upgrades are available for the engine. It will
continue with the 2.5L CRDe motor that produces 105 bhp at 3,800 rpm and 247 Nm
of torque between 1,800-2,000 rpm, matched to a 5-speed manual transmission,
with high- and low-range ratios.
