Mahindra has launched the special edition Thar
Adventure Series in South Africa, where the made-in-India SUV has gone on sale
for R 293,999. The Mahindra Thar Adventure Series is based on the standard 2.5 CRDe
4x4 SE trim and comes with various additional features that give it a distinct
appearance.
The front-end features a new bumper that has been designed to
enhance the approach angle. The bumper holds LED lights from Bundu Gear and
even features an integrated bull bar. The Adventure Series also brings in tow
hooks and a snorkel. Other updates include rock sliders on each side,
'diamond-plated' metal side steps, and a new rear bumper. The latter features a
tow bar.
The Mahindra Thar Adventure Series features a
removable hardtop from Getec. It can be had even in a standard canvas top. The
side profile features stylish alloy wheels that have been shod with Hankook
Dynapro all-terrain tyres. Like the regular version, the limited edition model
comes with a mechanical differential lock in the rear and auto-locking front
hubs. The SUV even offers a Borg Warner 4×4 hardware with a shift-on-fly
mechanism.
Other features of the Mahindra Thar Adventure Series
include HVAC, front cup holders, power steering, and a 12V power socket. The
limited-run model is available in three exterior paint shades - Rocky Beige,
Red Rage and DSAT Silver.
