The Thar has been discontinued in SA, but the last ones sold for around R380000 to R420000.
In India the Force Gurkha was only slightly cheaper.

Last I heard from Mahindra the new gen Thar will be on sale soon - but the company is confused on what they doing, so this might not happen.

So Force motors will open it's doors next month.
No word on pricing yet, but in India the Gurkha sells for 15Lakh & the Jimny goes for R12lakh.
So, in India, it costs a lot more than the Jimny...

Well, seven months later & nothing.
So it's safe to say you were right.
It may not happen...

And for that extra 3Lakh you get 4 times more traction
