It goes without saying that the risk of the car being swept away by the water exists with such a powerful force. Therefore, especially during such intense flooding, it is strongly advised against driving any vehicle in the water. No vehicle, no matter how capable you think your SUV is, is built to withstand such disasters. Thank goodness, in this instance, the Thar appears to have overcome this obstacle unharmed. We strongly advise our readers to NEVER attempt such stunts without justification.
On YouTube, the video has been posted. It depicts a Mahindra Thar moving swiftly through a wide stream of water. It appears hazardous for a number of reasons. First of all, there is absolutely no visibility. The SUV must spend a considerable amount of time submerged in the vast area of water. Second, there is always the chance of a hydrostatic lock in such circumstances, in which the car’s electronics could fail and the doors could lock or become jammed. The travellers would become stranded as a result.

Two engine choices are available for the Mahindra Thar: a 2.2-liter turbo-diesel and a 2-liter turbo-petrol. In the most recent model, the gasoline engine’s maximum output is 150 PS/320 Nm, while the oil-maximum burner’s output is 130 PS/320 Nm. Both of the powertrains have a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic with a low-range box as available transmissions. A transfer case and a mechanically locking centre differential are also included. Prices start at Rs 13.53 lakh and go as high as Rs 16.03 lakh, ex-showroom. Multiple instances of the Thar’s 5-door variant being spotted in testing suggest that the vehicle will soon be released.
