The Mahindra Thar has received a fantastic response in states like Punjab, Rajasthan and Karnataka. It suits the macho image of the people and this SUV undoubtedly is a worthy alternative to the Maruti Suzuki Gypsy. Mahindra had launched the Thar without an air con but the manufacturer has now launched an upgraded version of its off-roader, priced at Rs 6.75 lakh ex-showroom, Mumbai which is an increase of Rs 40000 from before. The 2012 Thar which is based on the Bolero and Scorpio chassis now comes with a factory-fitted air-con system and Mahindra has also showcased a customised version of the Thar, called the Thar Expedition which gets a custom-made front bullbar with an integrated electric winch, rock sliders, snorkel, expedition carrier and roll cage. "We are always responsive towards evolving customers’ needs and the launch of the New Cool Thar (AC) is a step towards giving our customers utmost comfort while they navigate through challenging terrain," said Vivek Nayer, senior VP, marketing Mahindra and Mahindra. In 2012 the manufacturer will also be conducting a series of events throughout the year like the Great Escapes, Challenges and Multi-day Escapes to promote and showcase the versatility of their vehicles.
