The mStallion 150 TGDi engine, which has an automatic transmission and produces 150 BHP and 320 Nm torque (112 kW@5000 rpm), powers the gasoline version of the RWD series.

With a starting price of Rs 9.99 lakh, the new Thar range is affordable for a larger variety of SUV consumers and those who have long wanted to own this classic SUV. The Thar fulfils the promise of "Explore the Impossible" by providing a remarkably distinctive driving and ownership experience.

A more severe electronic brake locking differential is now included with the 4WD version. It was created in partnership with Bosch and will make it easier for off-road enthusiasts to handle low traction scenarios. The LX Diesel 4WD models will offer the mechanical locking differential (MLD) as an option for those who still favour it. The selection of 4WD powertrains has not altered. It is propelled by a 2.2L mHawk 130 Diesel engine that generates 130 bhp of power and 300 Nm of torque and a 2.0L mStallion 150 TGDi petrol engine that produces 150 bhp of power & 320 Nm of torque. Both a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission are available with these engines.
