Big Daddy have given the Thar a hydraulic rear top.

The Thar Hydrau Top as it is called gets a new metal fabricated hard top with hydraulic struts and a fixed front roof section which has been lowered by 2.5 inches. The design house has also changed the front seats and they now get fixed headrests, and the rear sees new jump seats.

The seats are upholstered in a 'perforated charcoal grey' color and get leather. Another change is that the footstep has been raised by 3.5 inches to provide better access into the SUV.

Otherwise, the mechanicals of the Thar are left untouched. Mahindra offers it with two engine options, one of them being a BS3 unit. The 2,523 cc BS3 motor makes 63 bhp and 182.5 Nm of torque and is offered with 4WD or 2WD.
