Which Mahindra Thar variant gives the best mileage?
The AX(O) 1.5 Diesel RWD MT variant is the most fuel-efficient, returning approximately 14.2 km/l in real-world conditions against an ARAI rating of 16.9 km/l.
What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mahindra Thar?
The Mahindra Thar holds 57 litres of fuel, giving a usable range of roughly 502 km per full tank at real-world efficiency.
Why is my Mahindra Thar giving less mileage than the ARAI figure?
ARAI testing happens in a lab on a chassis dynamometer with the air conditioning off, no passengers and no traffic. Real Indian driving adds AC load, stop-go traffic, passenger weight and cold starts, which together cost 20-30%. A Mahindra Thar owner seeing 14.2 km/l is getting an entirely normal result.
What is the running cost of the Mahindra Thar per kilometre?
At Delhi prices, the Mahindra Thar costs approximately ₹6.17 per kilometre on diesel at its real-world efficiency of 14.2 km/l. Use the fuel cost calculator on this page for your own country, city and driving pattern.
