Mahindra Thar has passed the safety crash test conducted by the global safety rating agency Global NCAP with four-star ratings. Mahindra Thar 2020 received four-star ratings for both adult and child occupants in Global NCAP’s new round of crash tests. The 2020 Thar offers double frontal airbags as standard.

According to the Global NCAP test report, the driver and passenger's head and neck showed good protection. The report also concluded that the driver's chest offered adequate protection and the passenger's chest showed good protection.

The structure of the Thar SUV was rated as stable but the footwell area was rated as unstable. Both adult knee areas were optimized to reduce significant injuries. Also, the child dummy occupants received almost full protection during the test.

The side impact UN95 test was also performed on the Mahindra Thar and it passed it comfortably. The side impact test is mandatory to reach five stars but it was not considered in the scoring as the Thar did not reach the required points in the frontal impact to achieve a five-star result.

“Mahindra’s commitment to safer cars is once again displayed for consumers and shows that it is possible to offer good safety performance in the Indian market. It is encouraging to see manufacturers that also offer high levels of protection for children traveling in their vehicles. The Thar demonstrates the capacity of Mahindra to improve its fleet safety," said Alejandro Furas, Secretary General of Global NCAP.

The new generation Mahindra Thar was officially launched on October 2. It comes with a long list of safety features which include airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP with rollover mitigation, hill hold, hill descent control, built-in roll cage, three-point seatbelts, ISOFIX mounts on the rear seats.

All-New Thar Design

The All-New Thar stays true to the iconic 2-door silhouette but adds purposeful and contemporary touches and design elements to it. With a wider, better-balanced stance and a choice of hard top and convertible rooftop options, the All-New Thar imposes its presence wherever it goes.

This design approach flows into the interiors as well. While retaining the commanding driving position that is an integral part of the Thar’s DNA, the All-New Thar has a completely redesigned interior that mirrors the robust, retro-styled cues of the Thar’s exteriors.

The second-generation Thar is significantly bigger than its predecessor but will retain its boxy silhouette. Then there are the familiar elements like circular headlamps but they're now surrounded by LED DRLs which give the Thar an upmarket look and it's not overdone too.

The All-New Thar is also equipped with advanced off-road hardware that seriously improves its capability to go wherever and do whatever the driver demands of it.

Everyday Comfort & Convenience Features

Nissan on Friday confirmed that its Magnite sub-compact SUV will launch in India on December 2.

With a maximum power of 72 PS and maximum torque of 92 Nm, the all-new Nissan Magnite will also be available with the B4D naturally aspirated petrol engine. Magnite will be getting two powertrain options - a 1.0-litre B4D dual-VVT and a 1.0-litre HRA0 turbocharged engine. The transmission options will include a 5-speed manual unit as well as the company's popular X-Tronic CVT box.

Nissan is also promising several segment-first features which include a large 10-litre glovebox, multiple camera displays on the eight-inch infotainment screen, a large footwell area, and a Tech pack at launch which will bring in wireless charging, ambient lighting, air purifier and other such highlights.

Magnite is going to be offered in four grades - XE, XL, XV and XV Premium, and as many as 20 variants.

Nissan has now confirmed that prospective customers will be able to take a look at Magnite at all its showrooms to come December and that the full price list of the vehicle will be revealed on December 2. As the previous leak suggested that the Magnite could get an extremely lucrative price structure which ranges from INR 5,50,000 and INR 10,00,000 (ex-showroom). If SUV launched at the above-mentioned starting price, it will not only undercut the segment leaders like Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Hyundai Venue but also recently launched Kia Sonet SUV by a good margin. While this will only be confirmed on December 2.

We are expecting Nissan Magnite will be launched in Nepal first week of Jan 2021.
