I booked the Thar Diesel RWD MT a couple of seconds after booking started and took delivery on 16 th March 2023. It has been a very happy two years. The speedo stands at 28750 kilometres.
After reading through the forum, I got the AVO suspension installed by Arka Motosports, Coimbatore. A very very needed modification, I must say. Highway drives are much more comfortable after the modification. This was done at 4500 kilometres
I swapped out the speakers, put in a subwoofer, an amplifier for the speakers, a monobloc for the subwoofer and a DSP for tune. This was done at 5000 kilometres.
I also got the seat covers done in black, and swapped out the headlight and fog lamp bulbs with warm LED bulbs. Rear camera was fixed after a software update.
For what ever it is worth, I got 3M ceramic coating done. Barring regular service maintenance, nothing else was required till date. The wiper blades were changed after 1 year, before the last monsoon season.
I am totally happy with the Thar. On a full tank to full tank basis, I have managed a fuel efficiency of 16.25 kmpl. I get my tyre rotated, aligned and balanced every 5000 kms.
I have done a few non-stop highway runs with my mother as co passenger and she did not complain much. A couple of trips were to and from trips to Bengaluru and back to Erode with a break of just 15 mts. No complaints there as well.
Some pictures of the journey, the modifications, the accessories used and the interiors. I am planning to change the front grill and get a better head unit shortly.
Cheers
