Going off-road in a Mahindra Thar is easier than you might think!
PIECE OF CAKE

The Mahindra Thar has had a lion’s share in democratising off-roading in the country! It has made the sport accessible unlike other SUVs have, and has pretty much single-handedly introduced enthusiasts to off-roading as a leisure activity. It also commands immense respect, especially in off-roading communities. Launched first in 2010, the Thar boasts an unbeatable reputation when it comes to desirability and the macho feel associated with hardcore SUVs, given its combination of looks and ability.

The second generation version of the Thar has only seen it get more desirable, coming across as a great alternative to crossovers and front wheel drive SUVs with its comfort, besides offering an even better blend between practicality and go-anywhere abilities. No surprises then, Mahindra has moved over 1,00,000 units of the second generation Thar alone, in less than three years, a record in itself! But despite all this, a lot of buyers and enthusiasts still feel they need to be ‘qualified’ to go off-roading in the Thar.

There’s a distinct belief that unless and until you get trained to go off-roading, you cannot take a Thar off the beaten path. Yes, Mahindra has its own academy, which by the way has some of the finest instructors (who will help you make the Thar dance to your tunes like you’d never imagine!), but the Thar makes off-roading so easy, you could just head out on your own and still get back home without getting stuck in the middle of nowhere. Now, most of us at TURBOCHARGED have cut our teeth in offroading and experienced the Thar’s prowess in some unbelievable scenarios. But I was really keen on seeing what happens when you put someone who hasn’t really gone off-roading behind the wheel of the Thar.
