The Thar has finally realized its dream on the Indian roads. The Thar has been a boon for the adventure thirsty who have been waiting years for a lifestyle off roader to hit the Indian shores. Adventure has a new threat in the name of Thar and enthusiasts can now look to drain their adrenaline out. The wait is over. The Thar will also take you to those good old days of 'jeeping' and make you relive the heritage that goes back to the Willys.
The car is based on the MM540/550 body style and it also takes pride in having a lot of modern influences insides its strong metal body. The engine of the Thar is a NEF CRDe turbocharged intercooled engine that displaces 2498cc and delivers over 104 BHP. The torque is also a ripper with figures of 247Nm at around 1800-2000 rpm. The gear transfer happens with a five speed shift and a 4x4 Borg-Warner transfer case. The Thar is surely a rugged beast according to its name and goes just about anywhere you wish to take it. It seems to share some of its habits from the Bolero as the Thar too is equipped with an Independent Front Suspension on the CRDe variant.
The Thar is also available in 4x2 drive variants which also hosts a direct injection diesel engine. The car is expected to be a run off the mill targeted towards the desi market and hence the suspension on the front and rear. The tried and tested leaf spring set up in order to handle real rough use and the tendency to be overloaded.
The Thar is not at all a typical vehicle in every sense and is strictly an off road addict right from the looks to the performance. The car has a 46 degree approach angle and 30 degree departure angle. The car is neatly above the ground at 200mm clearance. The body is Arnold Schwarzenegger type with a strong body on the chassis frame for robust usage. It is not even close to your daily jeep albeit with features that do make you realize the Thar is a beast with a lovely heart. The car has power steering and a rather comfortable seating making the off road journey a pleasant one.
The car will surely be show stopper and you might even have to yell at people to bring them back to reality and carry on with your journey in the Thar. The Thar is also priced competitively. The high end CRDe 4x4 model is available at just Rs. 5.99 Lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi) and the Direct Injection Diesel 4x2 model is priced at Rs. 4.47 Lakh (exshowroom, Jaipur). This price range is sure to rise up the adrenaline in even the most silent of adventure freaks.
The open-topped jeep, a convertible off-roader, and a 4x4 with a 2.5litre engine the Thar seems to have all the angles of adventure covered. The Thar is a huge plus with the 2.5cc Diesel Engine, with a good tarmac and for the wind in the hair experience. The lack of an air conditioner and the missing of a hard top are of the some minuses that make you realize that nothing is perfect in this world including the Thar.
