Mahindra Thar Discontinued AX Std and AX
Mahindra launched the second-gen Thar in October 2020 with four variants – AX Standard, AX, AX Opt and LX. The base-spec AX and AX Std variants were quite almost like the previous-gen model with jump-seats within the back for a 6-seater layout. However, the more practical, safer and better-equipped variants of the new Thar happened to be much more popular. The carmaker first stopped taking orders of the bottom variants and has now discontinued them entirely.
