Anand Mahindra had gifted a Thar to Sindhu

Mahindra may gift another car
As Mahindra is working to launch the all-new XUV700 in the Indian market, we may see him announcing the all-new vehicle as a gift to the new champions. The all-new Mahindra XUV700 will be revealed in the Indian market on around 15th August and the launch is expected to happen in the following weeks.
The all-new Mahindra XUV700 will come with some state-of-the-art technology and many segment-first features. The seven-seater will become the new flagship of the manufacturer. The all-new XUV700 will be positioned as a premium product from the brand and will offer a plethora of luxurious features.
However, the all-new Thar remains high in demand in the market and depending on the city and the variant you choose, you may have to wait for months and even more than a year.
The all-new Thar is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that generates a maximum power of 150 Bhp and a peak torque of 320 Nm. The 2.2-litre diesel engines offer a maximum of 130 PS and a peak torque of 320 Nm. Both the engine options are available with a manual as well as an automatic transmission option.
The SUV is available with three rooftop options. There is a hardtop, a soft rooftop and a convertible soft top. The cabin also gets a slew of new additions like front-facing rear seats, a touchscreen infotainment system, ABS, airbags, and two airbags, cruise control, traction control, VSM and more. Mahindra Thar is the first off-road vehicle in India that has scored a 4-star safety rating.
