The engine and power output details of the new Mahindra Thar 4x2 variant have been leaked on the internet. The leaked document suggests that the entry-level 2WD variant will not carry forward the same 2.2-litre mHawk diesel motor but a new 1.5-litre diesel unit instead.

Going by the leaked document, the Thar 4x2 two-wheel drive will be powered by a smaller displacement 1,497cc, four-cylinder, turbocharged diesel unit making 118PS at 3,500rpm and 300Nm of torque between 1,750 and 2,500rpm. This motor will be coupled to a six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the 2.2-litre mHawk produces 130PS and 300Nm of torque.

Furthermore, the 4x2 version of the SUV will continue to be powered by the same 2.0-litre, inline-four, turbocharged mStallion petrol engine that makes 152PS and 300Nm of torque (320Nm with AT).

The new smaller capacity 1.5-litre engine and the two-wheel drive setup, along with a tax benefit for being under four metres in length, are likely to bring down the cost of the Thar significantly. With this, the new entry-level variant could become cheaper by Rs 2-3 lakh compared to the current model. However, it is hard to say whether Mahindra will only offer the new engine and 2WD options in the form of entry-level variants.
