Looks good. No news on SA pricing at this stage.
From the article...
So, what about engine options? Well, while the outgoing Thar is powered by a 79 kW/247 N.m 2,5-litre turbodiesel, the new model will be offered with either a box-fresh 2,0-litre mStallion TGDi petrol engine or the firm’s familiar 2,2-litre mHawk turbodiesel unit. The turbocharged petrol unit makes 112 kW and 320 N.m, while the oil-burner offers 97 kW and 320 N.m.
Transmission options will include a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed torque converter automatic cog-swapper (both with a 4x4 manual shift transfer case with a low ratio).
Mahindra says the Thar has gained an “all-new” (independent front and multi-link rear) suspension setup, offering “class-leading” approach, departure and ramp-over angles of 41,8 degrees, 36,8 degrees and 27 degrees, respectively. Ground clearance comes in at 226 mm, while wading depth is rated at 650 mm. The off-roader furthermore features a mechanical locking differential on the rear axle as well as a brake locking differential.
So both the Diesel & Petrol models will offer 320NM - obviously the Diesel peaks will be at lower revs.
6 Speed boxes & a locking rear diff.
The writer refers to " ...a brake locking differential" he is probably unaware this is TC.
It seems yopu'll have a rear locker & TC on the fronts - like [only] the Amarok offers...
