The new variants of the Mahindra Thar
The leaked document reveals that Thar will soon receive a variant revision. In addition to the current AX (O) and LX variants, the off-road vehicle can also be offered in a new AX (AC) variant. The new trim will be below the AX(O) variant and will miss out on features otherwise offered.
The exact list of features list of the AX (AC) variant is not yet known. However, unlike the AX(O) version which is available with folding rear row seats, the new version is expected to have second row front seats.
