        ALL NEW THAR FIRST DRIVE / REVIEW 2020 Mahindra Thar review, test drive BY {AUTOMOBLAND.BLOGSPOT.COM} The Mahindra Thar is an SUV that evokes emotions like few other cars can, embodying the spirit of the original Jeep and the 75-year-old legacy of India’s original SUV maker.

The bolder hood vents, roof scoop, and massive rear wing are all inspired by racing prototypes from the 60s and 70s. Only 30 units will be produced.
