In a series of exciting announcements, Mahindra & Mahindra has set the stage for a thrilling August with a global event scheduled in South Africa on August 15th, 2023. The highlight of this eagerly anticipated occasion will be the unveiling of the Scorpio N pickup truck concept and the Thar.e concept. To ignite enthusiasm among enthusiasts, the automaker has released the first teaser of the Mahindra Thar.e concept, offering a glimpse of LED lights adorned with distinctive squircle design elements. The teaser video, adorned with the “Born Electric” lettering, unequivocally confirms that the Thar electric will be developed on a novel and dedicated EV platform.
Earlier, it was speculated that the Thar electric version will share the foundational characteristics of its conventional internal combustion engine-powered counterpart, featuring a sturdy ladder-frame chassis.

Anticipated Features and Innovations
With the Mahindra Thar.e concept, the brand is resolute in retaining its renowned off-road prowess by preserving the 4X4 drivetrain setup. Insights from industry insiders hint at the concept embracing a quad-motor arrangement, a departure from the conventional dual-motor setup.
This innovative approach could potentially grant the vehicle a remarkable crab walk capability, enabling all four wheels to turn at a 45-degree angle, greatly facilitating parking in tight spaces. Furthermore, reports suggest that the concept may possess the ability to execute a seamless 360-degree turn when required, further enhancing its agility and adaptability.
More details on the Mahindra Thar.e will be revealed in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned to IndiaCarNews for further updates.
