The newest version of Thar has been revamped in the infotainment system as well as it will now support Apple Carplay and Android Auto Connect. Talking about specifications, the Mahindra Thar 2020 features the latest 2.0-litre BS6 engine. With 140bhp, the torque of Thar 2020 has been maximised at 300Nm and a 6-speed manual transmission. The chassis of the car evidently takes inspiration from Mahindra's 2020 version of the Scorpio.
