Mahindra is displaying the Mahindra Thar Daybreak
Edition at Surat International Auto Expo 2017. Unlike the version displayed at the Auto Expo 2016 and the APS 2017, the
version in Surat has a solid roof.
The Mahindra Thar Daybreak Edition’s modification is
done completely by the ‘Mahindra Customisation’ division. The customisation
takes two months to complete, and it lends the Thar a matte grey exterior, hood
scoop, LED-powered rings inside the headlamps and LED tail lamps.
A few other noteworthy features of the Mahindra Thar
Daybreak Edition include 37-inch Maxxis Trepador tyres for increased ground
clearance and rock crawling capability, factory-fitted winch attached to a set
of Stinger Bumpers to increase the protection for the vehicle’s radiators and
chrome-finished dual exhausts.
The Mahindra Thar Daybreak Edition does not come
with engine upgrades. Under the hood is the familiar 2.5-litre CRDe engine that
develops 105 bhp and at 3,800 rpm and 247 Nm of torque between
1,800-2,000 rpm, and channels power to the wheels via a 5-speed manual
transmission. The Daybreak Edition customisation kit reportedly costs INR 9.6
lakh. Customers willing to add a solid roof will have to shell out INR 1.5 lakh
extra.
