The Mahindra Thar 3-Door is now available with discounts of up to Rs 3 lakh as consumer interest shifts towards the recently launched Thar Roxx, a five-door variant with enhanced practicality and appeal. Since its August 2024 debut, the Thar Roxx has surged in popularity, leading Mahindra to boost discounts on the original Thar to manage inventory. These discounts vary across dealerships, with the highest savings on the special Earth Edition.

Mahindra has announced significant discounts on its Thar 3-door model, offering up to Rs 1.6 lakh during the festive season to boost sales amid a recent decline in demand. The introduction of the larger Thar Roxx has led to fewer customers opting for the smaller version. Along with attractive discounts, buyers will receive a complimentary accessory kit valued at Rs 25,000. The Thar Earth Edition, featuring a unique matte finish and enhanced interior design, enjoys the highest discount.

The Tata Curvv Diesel and Hyundai Creta Diesel are two strong contenders in the mid-size SUV market. The Tata Curvv, priced between Rs 11.49 lakh and Rs 17.69 lakh, offers a 1.5-litre engine with 116bhp and 260Nm of torque, available with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT. It features a spacious boot and competitive pricing. The Hyundai Creta, starting at Rs 12.56 lakh and reaching up to Rs 20.15 lakh, has a 1.5-litre engine producing 115bhp and 250Nm of torque, with options for a 6-speed manual, automatic, or IVT.

While the Hyundai Creta is praised for its fuel efficiency and ease of driving, and the Scorpio N stands out for its spaciousness and road presence, the Thar Roxx's blend of durability and practicality makes it a standout option. The Jimny, though valuable for its price, is considered less competitive in this comparison due to its smaller size and limited engine options.

The Mahindra Thar Roxx 5-door has been revealed ahead of its official launch, showcasing significant updates from its 3-door predecessor. This new model features a fresh design with a triangular rear quarter glass, angular wheel arches, and a slanted roof. It offers two engine options: a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol and a 2.2-liter turbo-diesel, both with multiple power outputs and transmission choices.

Mercedes-Benz, a name synonymous with luxury and innovation, has a rich history tied to its name and logo. The brand began in 1886 with Karl Benz’s Benz Patent Motorwagen.

The iconic three-pointed star logo, inspired by a postcard from Gottlieb Daimler, symbolized the company's ambition for land, sea, and air transportation.
