The 2020 Mahindra Thar has been spied getting tested
on several occasions previously. Also, it is confirmed to be launched in April
next year. Now, its interiors have been exposed in the clearest spy shots till
date.
The 2020 Mahindra Thar will feature a redesigned
all-black dashboard. Also new will be its digital-analogue instrument panel
replacing the current three-pod piece. The new panel comes with a big MID
placed between the dials. The second-gen model will also have a multi-function
steering wheel. The latest spy shots show provision for a new infotainment
system.
The round AC vents seem similar to those of the outgoing model, but
there are new AC control dials with silver outline. The passenger grab-handle
is now completely redesigned and has been repositioned too. The seats come
finished in all-black and also carry contrast stitching. The interiors of
all-new Mahindra Thar looks plush, as the company has upped the comfort and
luxury quotient inside the cabin, which gets a more mature all-black theme.
The 2020 Mahindra Thar is said to be built on an
updated ladder-frame chassis, which will underpin even the next-gen Mahindra
Scorpio. Thanks to the new frame, the upcoming next-gen Thar will likely be
longer and wider than the outgoing model. Two different roof options are also
planned. Under the hood, the next-gen Mahindra Thar will carry major mechanical
changes as it will deploy an all-new 2.0-litre diesel engine. This engine will
be tuned to deliver 140 PS and a peak torque of 300 Nm. It will be paired with
a 6-speed manual transmission.
The 2020 Mahindra Thar will be pitted against the
likes of next-gen Force Gurkha, and it is expected to make its earliest public
debut at the Auto Expo 2020.
