What's new about the Mahindra Thar RWD?

Although it lacks the 4x4 insignia on the rear fender, the 2WD Thar is otherwise aesthetically identical to the 4WD variant. In addition, Mahindra has added Blazing Bronze, which is also offered on the XUV300 TurboSport, and Everest White, bringing the total number of exterior colour options for the Thar to six. Only the hard-top option will be offered for the Thar 4x2 model.
