2024 Mahindra Thar Review: RIP Suzuki Jimny?!

- The 2024 Mahindra Thar is a MIGHTY 4x4 that starts at less than $20,000...
But it's also not in Australia (for now...) You see, the Mahindra Thar can't be sold in Australia because it resembles the Jeep Wrangler a little too much. However, considering both stem from the Willy's JEEP of World War 2, it's hard to say the Thar doesn't have a right to the same heritage.
Today, Jacob's in Chennai, India, to review the Mahindra Thar and PETITION to bring it one day to Australia!

They post these videos for the indian viewers dude😂😂

Yes I am here broo
Yes

I had a 2012 Thar for many years. I say these things are pretty bulletproof .... From sea level to 17600 ft .... Across any terrain.
17600 Gurudongmar reference?
brooo the only thing you shouldn't have said is bulletproof, last year a very popular punjabi singer was shot dead while in his thar
Bruhh Sidhu moossewaala was killed in his 2012 Thar when gangsters fired bullets in his thar💀💀
Bruh
Indian bot praiser😂😂😂
When Mahindra make a better “Jeep”… than Jeep themselves!!
Stellantis: 😮😮…
Anything for views 😂
No they don't 😂
Yes they do. Their reliability is legendary.

@@Michael-Angh no matter
After owning and driving one (Petrol Manual) for 12,000+ kms I can understand the smile on this man's face :)
petrol is shit
My fav car bro, thar 4x4
This is why most Australians hate jeep as a company. Small minority buy them as an American dream.
Its probably due to high price but the thing can go almost anywhere.
@@debasisghadai3633yeah but they're pretty unreliable.
He said they can go anywhere, he didn't say that they can get back@@orientalguy9462
Jeeps are just showbiz. The moment they kick the dust...all sorts of warnings go off... reliability should be compared to a Mitsubishi Pajero or a Toyota Land Cruiser. Everything else is just waste of time.
When it comes to reliability you won't have any problem with a Mahindra.
That mhawk engine is a gem 😊
Jeep Wrangler is about 62lakhs INR whereas Thar starts around 10lakhs INR to 23lakhs INR which has slowed the sales of Jeep Wrangler.
Thar 10 lakhs is 4x2
10lakh are u mad recently i buy 4*2 thar automatic at 19 lakhs in delhi

For those who don't know, there are 2 Jeep families running parallel since the first Willy's Jeep was introduced in 1940's. One is the US family now owned by FCA/Stellantis and other is the Indian family owned by Mahindra. Mahindra started out in 1949 by assembling Willy's CJ2A under license. Then in 1953, they bought full rights to make, modify and sell Jeep CJ3B in their own name, in India. They even had a temporary licencse to use 'Jeep' brand name, which expired in late 1980's. So Mahindra has been continuosly making and evolving Jeep based products since last 70+ years. Every Mahindra body on frame UV is an evolution of Jeep CJ3B. Unlike Jeep/FCA, Mahindra's focus has been on reliability, durability and being VFM. That's why FCA fears Mahindra. But with gen 2 Thar, Mahindra did copy the exterior aesthetics of Jeep Wrangler. Now both Thar and Wrangler are kind of cousins since both of them share a common ancestor in Jeep CJ3B. But despite the high demand, Mahindra cannot sell the Thar anywhere else in the world. Because they own rights only in India. They could have done things differently, but they chose to copy Wrangler's design aesthetics, which is not agreeable.
there cant be two........ the second one is always illegitimate.. 😉
That willy design was given to uk( todays land rover ) and Japan ( todays toyota ) and in some few other countries but those companies died so.....
@@MondayMorning-yv7nfno 👩🦲
@@shiajinn2509 That maybe the OG low bonnet Willy's CJ2A. But in 1953, Mahindra of India and Mitsubishi of Japan bought rights to Willy's high bonnet CJ3B. Mitsubishi made their version till 1998. Mahindra has kept on making and evolving CJ even till today. CL500, CL550 Major, Commander, Marshal, Classic CL340, Armada, Thar, Bolero, MM440, MM540, MM550 so many products that Mahindra directly derived from CJ3B.
😊😅
Jacob did very well in this review here and dare I say, on the track too since it looks pretty challenging. But yes, Matt reviewing the Thar would also be so much fun 🥹
But ya I don't think it's going to Uk, or he's coming to India. Cuz ya he hasn't reviewed any Indian vehicle.
He's talking of the Australian Matt from Carsauce. Ig ever matt with a car channel is certainly a character 😂
Jimny launched in india with some over enthusiastic pricing....and people started comparing with this legend and due to declining sales sales, Suzuki is giving some good discounts
Isn't that discount for December ? Every car company is giving December discount
@@cloud_1216 yep.... But jimny is giving a bit high, almost 3.2lakh for zetta
I had booked both and almost bought the Jimny, ultimately got the 4*4 diesel with MLD after I heard the Jimny’s launch price, obviously manual & black, looks great with matt ppf and wrangler grill and lights 😍
@@rishabhjuyal6907 I booked jimny but cancelled right after prices were launched, but now booked again yesterday after 3L discount 😁
Thar is much more a vehicle than Jimny ever could try to be!
Mahindra makes better jeep than jeep themselves 😂😂
Nope it's not
@@Shubham69405Stellantis Jeeps are unreliable af
@@Mr.Monark Mahindra too
@@Shubham69405 some are
Uhm I agree
Wish this came to Australia
Mahindra can launch this car in Australia but they have to change the overall car looks
@@farhad9444 kind of defeats the point. Ineios grenadier managed their way around that sort of stuff.
Why is this banned in Australia?
@@diptangshuman3265 because JEEP sued Mahindra as it claimed that the THAR looked like Wrangler.
It cant ...forget abt it ...
As an Indian let me just say, photos and videos don't do justice to the look of this vehicle. This looks awesome in person and has a great road presence especially the maroon one.
true
Black one looks hot🔥 NGL in real life
Cringe shitzz
The diff lock is at the rear diff, it's an automatic diff lock available in the Thar diesel LX variant.
I own a top of the line diesel automatic and its an absolute beast which I use as a primary go anywhere vehicle. I love this beast with an mHawk heart inside more than anything. 😃
Mahindra A Good brand 💯🔥 full Support to Mahindra
excellent review Jacob. You got the Lakh correct. The Thar is the best bang for your buck
5 Door version will be launched soon in 2024 i hope jeep clears their legal battle with Mahindra so, Aussies can buy it too legally
And i wonder how it's still raining in Chennai in the month of Dec
Cyclone
A thing called north west monsoon And also cyclone.
@@Capt-J oh I totally forgot about that
@@adityaYadav-oq5ms5 door not coming too . Probably the Electric one will
You skipped geography class in 10, didn't you?
I want one of these 😫
Don’t we all 😭😭
Knock knock Jeep coming lol
@@Shubham69405🥱🥱🥱
Get a used toyota
Cant you privately import it?
Sweet. I’d love one of these!!!
Scorpio N is a close second 😝
My man is a Mahindra guy🗿
@@CarSauce I have the Scorpio and the S11 round it out with a Thar and I’d be a happy man.
@@vasu_0001 I’m a lover of Mahindra to be sure.
You could import them !
Great video mate! Such a fun test track.
With a great videographer too 😉
Jeep shouldn't have the right to monopolised a basically open-source design. They know the Thar is a Jeep-killer if it gets a launch.
Americans Pups man
I drive a Manual bt50 2013 and I live in Oz and I'm Over 60 as well
Way things are going Mahindra might just buy out fiat in 5 years or so
Fiat? lol
I think it's reliable than nowadays jeeps
It is not just merely any ordinary Car...
It's the Mahindra Thar...
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Another cringe chapri
Interesting video 👍
❤ Your style
How is Mahindra Service in Australia?
Kindly talk about that too
I asked the safari guys in Thar desert about the new Thar, they said
"Its a very good road and hard surface car, but not for thar desert, since the radiator is placed low, so when you drop the car in sand dunes, radiator breaks. Tata safari and Tata harrier are good, old gypsy is great." Those guy were handling it pretty rough.
Interior is rugged because its totally washable including speaker section, plus the window buttons are in the center cos you can remove the doors easily
If they ever were released here ... Australia Tax would take them northwards of $30k. Cheap cars are a thing of the past for us.
Don't worry Indian taxes are even more ridiculous. Some cars even have like 50%
@@ujjwalchandel9530did you forget the 100% tax on the imported ones ? Like the Toyota LC which is almost 1.5Cr or more is just 50 lakhs in UAE
Nah indian taxes are much much more ridiculous, It would be much cheaper in Australia ... most likely Mahindra would assemble them in Australia itself. Imported cars for example are up to 300% more expensive than in their country of origin, thats why Germans brands like Mercedes, Audi and BMW all assemble in india itself.
If you want to buy the cheapest car in India the taxes alone costs over 100%. It includes GST, Cess, and Road tax specific to states. I own a Suzuki Baleno. The price without taxes is about INR 400000. On road without insurance was about INR 900000. Insurance is about INR 20000. This is for cars made in India. You guys are living the dream. Why do you think many Indians wants to come to your country!
@@zenjm6496 It's crazy as most countries only have their normal consumer taxes on cars like 8% - 19%

Chill dude
The fact that the handbreak was on all that time😮
Rule Number 1 : Never Disrespect Thar 🙌
Rule no. 2 :- never forget rule no. 1
Rule 3: don't copy other cars
Please bro don’t embarrass us
Rule no 4 dont sell overpriced Car.
Thar 250,000 Jeep 8,000 in India@@tea5092
Don't worry these are known as "chapris" in the country. There are good number of educated right thinking citizens in India too but those make up 98% of the population so you'll obviously see all these.😂 Don't believe a word!
Use hill hold, although i didnt see the button for it
So sad to see that the whole time the handbreak was down😂... Or it could be a full fledged experience ❤. Owning Mahindra Thar is like owing Iphone in india. In terms of challenging situations it is the best option in current India. ❤
Too bad they haven't launched this beast in the UAE. It's already in my to buy bucket list.
Import it
@@prathappoojari5415 What about servicing then? Will I keep importing the parts too? Not a wise option. It's always better to buy the cars that are launched in your country... that way, you'll get full service coverage.
I was travelling in Dehradun Uttarakhand I saw the 5 door
Your content is like a ray of sunshine.
Thanks Jacob a proud offroader of thar
Excellent car with strong off roading capabilities
Sir u see this modified one its awesome 💓🔥🔥
In India we only buy Automatic for elders, we love manuals more then Automatic
That's not completely true..... Even though I agree with the love for manuals Before 12 yrs Indian companies never gave us the option to choose auto
@@Raghu22360ye bhi hai
New generation love automatic broo🤡
@@mavi6122 hey bro I'm going to change gears 1000 times in Mumbai traffic 🤡
The thar just drove so much with the handbrake on that shows the torque
Waiting for Thar EV version coming in 2025. That's gonna be insane and no doubt as per design and features been revealed bit it's going to be one of the most desirable car in it's segments. Please guys stay tune and bring it's detail review too.
TATA & Mahindra 🧡🤍💚
Jai Hind.. Jai Bharat 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Vande-Mataram 🇮🇳🇮🇳
No handbrake alarm ? Or sign ?
These survive the Himalayan roads of North India and Nepal. Strong car.
Bro , you have not chosen black colour with modification which gives a gangster look to the thar .❤️🇮🇳🇦🇺
Use l1 release clutch more comfortable
Check out other indian cars also like harrier, hexa, safari storme and gurkha
Go also try force gurkha if you want a 4×4
Feeling proud as an Indian ❤
Hope, in future mahindra stand straight against jeep and i also want they could buy thier share and partnership like tata jaguar&landrover❤
Great
Power of indian audience❤
The fact that the car could get past the harsh off-road track with the handbrake on...
Will these be available in Canada sometime ?
It’s right side drive cars
Very good bro

Love from India ❤❤❤
u know it’s a gem, If it’s made in Bharat 🇮🇳
That is beast
Love from India 🇮🇳❤🎉
The real auto enthusiasts suhail kasargod 😍
So many reviews but we can’t have one :(.
9:58 Most important part of the video. He had handbrake applied in the previous part of the video 😅
Indian cars are made tough... If the car brakes down, we dont buy from that company again- very hard earned money here 😂😂😢
Also our terrain in very diverse, tropical jungles, deserts, snow, high altitude (highest in the world), mud/ clay, stones , gravels.. road or dirt paths 😂😂everything
I wish you could've experienced the FORCE GURKHA
Best one if FORCE GURKHA... as off roader
Must review harrier also.
Yes landroverxtata
Mahindra redesigning it for international market.
Don't buy 4X2 in 1 year waiting just buy old 4X4 in same price ✌🏻
Absolutely, there are tons available on OLX.
