Latest Company Updates:
August 2023- Mahindra has unveiled the Vision Thar.e at its Futurescape event in Cape Town, South Africa. Designed at the Mahindra Advanced Design Europe (M.A.D.E) Studio, the Vision Thar.e is a radical departure from the traditional I.C.E. Thar aesthetic. Although it is far from production, the Vision Thar.e previews the design language that will shape the electric Thar lineup for years to come. The design of the Mahindra Vision Thar.e concept is unlike any previous Mahindra S.U.V. Although it has been thoroughly modernized, it still retains an authentic retro off-road S.U.V. aesthetic. It has a distinctive monolithic form that gives it the appearance of being carved out of a block of metal. The Vision Thar.e has been designed with modularity and practicality in mind; for instance, the front headlamps and rear taillights are essentially the same modules. The same applies to the front and rear bumpers, fender flares, side sills, and steps, which are interchangeable from front to rear and side to side. Mahindra says that there will be a large frunk under the front bonnet, which is locked using flush bonnet clamps. There are also clever details like the integrated slots to easily add or remove roof racks and neatly integrated door handles.
October 2023- Hyundai Australia looks to be laying the groundwork to release a series of toughened-up S.U.V.s soon following our discovery of two trademark applications relating to the X.R.T. nameplate. For those scratching their heads, 'X.R.T.' is most seen in the North American market, where the nameplate adorns the back of more rugged and rugged-themed Hyundai S.U.V. models, specifically the Tucson, Santa Fe, and Palisade.
