India should be PROUD of this 4x4!! Mahindra Thar off-road review 

In case if anyone doesn't know. Mahindra used to manufacture Willis The original Jeep back at World War time. This design has been around for decades.

Mahindra please 🙏 bring this sweet 4x4 to Australia 🇦🇺 😊

Feel sad here in SA as well. Will hold on to my go any where 2010 Thar. Thanks!

Mahindra started in the 40's by assembling the Willy's CJ2A & CJ3A under license. Then in the 50's, they bought the rights to make, modify and sell CJ3B under their own name. So every Mahindra SUV is an evolution of Jeep CJ3B. They have been making Jeeps since last 80+ years, so in essence Mahindra is as much of a Jeep maker as FCA/Jeep. But their focus has been on reliability, durability and being VFM. More than the Thar's design, the above mentioned attributes are what Jeep/FCA fears about Mahindra. Hence they'll fight tooth and nail to block Mahindra from launching Thar anywhere else in the world 🙃

In this part of the Year it's common to have typhoons and stroms in India , The Indian's are very proud of Thar that's why there's 6+ months of waiting period for that Thar in some parts of country .

The stupid situation with sales to oz is that the old jeep/Chrysler and now Stallantis company only owned the jeep brand name not manufacturing licenses. Mahindra hold the Willy Jeep license to manufacture. The judge was paid off to protect US manufacturing, this current type vehical has been made by Mahindra from 1950, just that we didn’t see them in countries that US manufacturers controlled, like Australia.

Hey matt, this is an awesome video✌️, just insane. This vehicle seems like it’s a solid build 💪

I don't know if somebody has mentioned it already, Thar can be used a regular day to day car as well😊 I have diesel manual, good for city, highway, off road a true all-rounder ❤

Viewing from Canada, we badly need a vehicle like this. The price is affordable, unlike the way over priced Jeep, that is rife with problems. Rust buckets on wheels.

It's a shame Mahindra weren't able to make the necessary styling changes to make this look less Jeep allowing it to be sold in Australia. It would absolutely find a market here! With the way Jeep are going in Australia, I wouldn't be surprised if they exit the Australian market within a couple of years and its sales performance over the last few years is enough proof!

Really good video Matt, well done! Hopefully this vehicle will make its way to our shores soon.

Mahindra Thar ❤️ Pride of Our Bharat 🇮🇳👑

There are probably some laws that say you can't sell cars for cheap in Australia.

Very nice car. Keep up the good work.

It's fun that I got it today, it's literally a fun machine.

How's ur experience overall in India Matt? Sry you have to bear the harsh weather ...it is those time in Chennai where rain do it's pounding seasonally ...hope you get lots of love and great food india ...we Indians in Australia would like to hear more about your India trip...

Such a shame that we’ll NEVER 😉😉, get this or the 5 door n Australia 🇦🇺

Imagine this on Aussie roads with a tune and a new engine. Could outsell many cars. Thar already have cult following in India

Its best serious affordable jeep🥰🥰♥️ I have one , my favourite rocky beige green❤️❤️ Never disappointed me ever🩵🩵

you should be showing more of the and its handling on the terrain!

Will "never in Australia" also apply to the upcoming 4-door version?

So far, all reviews I watched have successfully avoided calling out exactly what the other car this car looks like. And we know how this was made possible.

Does nit have front wheel locking differential.

Of course India is proud of the innumerable products in innumerable categories which they manufacture in India. It is time the world took note of them and became proud owners.

Hi Matt,I whish was available if the price is right! for Australia! I would buy one just for the looks I be happy just the basic model!

Considering the condition of regular roads in India, I'm not surprised

Great video! I'd like to know if Mahindra Thar will be in South America

A proud owner of this beauty ❤

will you test the production version of Tank 300 HEV ?

The Ineos Grenadier is a copy of a 110 and looks identical, doesn't seem to be an issue. change the front end and all good I reckon.

Considering Jeep can’t even sell a thousand vehicles of any type in Australia, this vehicle should be allowed to be sold in Australia.

Remember back in the 1990's there was a popular Jeep look-alike called the Asia Rocsta that Jeep took to court and won. then Jeep started importing Wranglers to Australia to clam the spot of the Asia Rocsta well the Asia motor company rename themselves to KIA. it's the same story with the Mahindra Thar good news is in the next few years the Thar will come to Australia after the New update model has a facelift to not look like the Jeep Wrangler

Welcome to INDIA Sir...!

WILD!

Mahindra have been making jeeps under license in India since 1947. Mahindra has a heritage which is way Longer than FCA’s,off road.

Hii!! Matt We do have Thar here in India.. I am planning to migrate to Australia from India in 2024. Do you have clues, if Thar would b coming to Australia as 5 door version or not.. As Mahindra is trying to build its establishment in australia by launching XUV 700 & scorpio in Aus & 3 door Thar was not able to enter Aus market due to its conspiracy with Wrangler Jeep And you were their Guest in India.. U might have some hint of its launch in future!!

Have a run on the newly built expressways, you'll like them

Thar-iffic video. Thank you! :)

You find the handling stiff because it has hydraulic steering compared to power steering in the Scorpio N and you have also included the pricing of 4x2 Thar which is also half capable of 4x4 Thar.

I'd like to see it in Oz.....mods, kayak roof rack 🙂

I got mine last month during ayudha pooja

Waiting for the 5 door version and Thar.E

I have this car and I love it.

I love ❤️ Mahindra Thar 😊

Please review by New thar ev concept 🙏

What a machine..

Why is the Thar's roof duck-taped ? Is it leaking water without the tape in place!!

Could it because dispute in USA with regards to M Thar who challenged and is in dispute with its Wills having similar look and Mahindra can only sell as off road in US rather than any other SUV. Hence not sold in Australia to stay away from legal hassle s. ?😊

That's a pretty sweet proving grounds.

Today, just about every other road in India looks like this, and 20 years back not just every other, but absolutely every road was like this. So where first world countries let go, Mahindra and similar start.

Bought June ‘23 thar has broken down 4 times and got it serviced they can’t detect any faults . Stops in the middle of the road while driving almost causing accidents what an agony for a 4 star rating thar .. I WANT FULL REFUND .

It’s really well made Jeep - The Mahindra Thar. It’s a pity that the Aussies are denied such excellent vehicles due to legal tussle between Mahindra & Jeep which is owned by the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. However in the United States 🇺🇸 the Mahindra Roxor is quite popular & now they are tapping the South African Market and the South American Countries too. The selling price in India 🇮🇳 will be lesser due to many factors and its equivalent price in Australian Dollars for a 4 x 4 vehicle is just peanuts. That said the cost would increase if / when it reaches the Australian shores. Even adding the shipping & import duties, Mahindra Thar would give tough time to its competitors. Certainly a nice car to own.

This car looks great, but it's not practical for daily usage. That's why most of us like it, but we don't even consider buying one. People go for cheaper hatchbacks with the same wheelbase. 😅

We are proud of Thar

if jeep/fca exits oz, we may see the thar as fca is ok with thar in exited markets ig. if thar goes to markets with fca then they r gonna suffer

Thar is a good vehicle with a very refined engine but does any one talk about the shortcomings and how Mahindra has tried to save money with some cheap tricks? Here are a few: 1. Mahindra provide a manual spare key, not a remote lock and unlock key which we get even in basic car models. 2. Automatic model does not have a dead pedal which is a must. 3. They consolidated the window open and close buttons which is annoying as it is. They should have provided auto window up and down at a bare minimum. This is so unsafe. If you get down without closing the windows then it is such a pain. Real cheap. 4. Cheap seats, driver seat moves when the brakes are applied. 5. Rearview mirror is very small and does not provide a complete view.

India power

what you mean by "should be"???

Pity that they won't come to Australia

Mahindra are making a mistake not bringing the Thar to Aus… Jeep is almost as good as gone, and its sales predict it might be gone in the next few years!😂

Hey pls check it out others Indian cars also like Tata Harrier 2023 and safari 2023 ♥️

❤

This video is shoots in India because that that is TN registered means Tamilnadu state registered

3:50 the guy was watching your back

Jeep Killer. Bring it to Aus.

Bring it to Australia please. Just make the changes to the appearance of it to keep Jeep off your back.

It just looks like a JEEP, rest assured mechanically the car is sorted and ultra reliable which is JEEP's wet dream.

I ended up buying the Thar twice. 1st the Diesel and then Petrol

It will come to Australia 1 day. Never say never.

So india should be proud of thar Or india should be proud of this review I am kinda confused with your title

it is pronounced THARRR...ie named after desert in western India. Rhymes with star but "stress" on rrrrr

It's not coming to aus coz fiat and jeep sued mahindra in court as their car looks the same

It is the 'Jeep Wrangler' younger brother

fancy Dodge offering us a Wrangler instead of a Thar. definitely my next car. But not according to Dodge you'd think they are in business selling cars.

what about the bolero ute

Matt, 'Thar' a tease! 😅🤣 This seems like a decent, basic 4x4.

Mahindra is the best

This would have killed Jeep Wrangler sales overseas.

Power full Mahindra king thar

How did jeep allow them to copy the design

Thats an offroad test track? Looks like a normal road in India

Mahindra Thar Best

Love from Assam 🇮🇳🙏❣️ Thar copy of jeep 😂

I was a strong supporter of Mahindra cars... but that Pune incident of ScorpioN wheel coming off while driving on highway resulting in the owner loosing his leg shook me. What shocked me was not the accident but what happened afterwards. 1. The car burned in a fire 7 hours after the crash despite the battery being disconnected. The mystery deepens when you know he had the Diesel variant. Explain to me how a diesel car can burn like that? Diesel is very difficult to burn unlike the petrol even when we try to burn it deliberately. Secondly, if there was a fuel leak, it would have evaporated by that time. This looks like a foul-play by someone wanting to hide the evidence... If you are in a serious accident, your Mahindra may mysteriously burn for whatever reason! Engineering issue? Political powerplay? That is concerning. 2. Mahindra responded to this not with a proper investigation, but by blaming the customer indicating that this happened due to "high speed", and they used the connected-car tech data and indicated the car had gone upto 120kmph during the drive cycle. Now, the key here is that they are not saying the driver was driving at that speed during the accident, but some other time during the ownership. Secondly, the road he was driving is the Samrudi Mahamarg Expressway that has a speed limit of 120kmph... This misuse of the connected car tech to blame the driver is concerning. 3. Few months before the incident, someone else had posted in TeamBHP with photos of his ScorpioN's front wheel bending almost 90degree and nearly coming off in the parking lot. This looks like a similar incident, but just that it happened at thigh speed. Overall, I have lost my appetite for Mahindra, after how they dealt with this incident. I would now prefer a car whose company do not have much political influence to cause harm to me by bending the legal system in case of an accident.

0313'24/1857h PST 🇺🇸 Thanks for the review in Mahindra Thar 4WD. The vehicle is good to drive on paved roads and that's it. The power is so less that I can hear it groan and starve if running through an off road conditions. This is the first time, I'm observing a review of an indian 4WD Mahindra Vehicle. The reviewer did not talk about the engine, both Diesel and Gas engines. There was also no mention if the vehicle has Power steering or Power breaks or climate control (Heating and cooling) There was also no comments on Lighting Systems (head lights) if it had LED or incandescent. so on and so forth. The reviewe'r poor description makes a buyer think twice before procuring this vehicle. Why The Company haded over the responsibility of reviewing The Thar to a mediocre person with no experience describing or reviewing a vehicle. Thanks to the guy for poor demo.

Are you Volodymyr Zelenskyy's brother?

Jeep will not allow it to come to Aus!

Not even trying to hide the tracing paper with that design.

It looks like another car!”😂it sure does!! Because it’s a almost carbon copy of the Jeep Wrangler! Except it has independent front suspension!

Come to Africa we will teach you offroading in the bush not on a track . Be a real man!🇿🇦

'Not coming to Australia'.......bye then.

Please drive scopiyo s11 black

Well not very proud, The Mahindra Bolero is a better buy anyday. Also the Mahindra Scorpio has the "BIG BOSS" looks. These were overpriced and we knew that when the prices and variants increased when the Maruti 5-door Jimny came in. That was smaller, nimbler, practical and easier to live with than this

Awsome presence this got ...ready to hunt in jungle

2min 50sec in and the spot lights stopped working 🤦‍♂️🤭

Here in India it's mostly loafers who drive them fitting cheap 20" rims 🤣. Personally I prefer the older mahindra jeep clones which came with a solid front axle.

bro,its thar not tar😂😂😂😂(❁´◡`❁)

You will not get this in Australia , now shove that Jeep

By watching your thumbnail I said one thing u should feel ashame of ur self till now u don't know about India first know completely know about India and do videos and review our products and comment on our brands

Here in India, it is mostly used by miscreants, anti-social owners which don't have any sense of driving car and are nuisance to other people on the road so much so that we all wish that such models must be banned by the Indian government.
