“The Thar is a genuine off-roader built for adventure seekers willing to trade creature comforts for mechanical robustness. With 150 bhp, 320 Nm torque, and four-star NCAP safety, it delivers where it matters for its segment. However, spartan interiors, minimal tech, and no ADAS mean this is a purposeful machine, not a daily luxury solution.
