In its latest iteration, the demand is at an all-time high. In certain cities, prospective buyers face nearly a year-long waiting period for specific models. The classic Thar has been a fixture in the market for quite some time, and it remains the top choice for off-road enthusiasts, primarily due to the absence of any serious competitors.

Thankfully, the locals saw this and rushed to the rescue. They are seen on the roof of the SUV. In fact, they have even tied the SUV with a thick rope to some large boulder to prevent it from flowing away. The man on the roof gets large stones and breaks the rear windshield of the lightweight SUV. He clears the glass with the headrest of the car. That is how the occupants come out. Thankfully, no one was injured in this stupid activity. We can hope that our readers understand to never perform such acts with their cars.

What We Think
We recognize that many Thar owners are passionate about engaging in rugged off-road excursions. However, it’s imperative that we exercise caution and responsibility. While the Thar is engineered for demanding off-road scenarios, there must be boundaries. Engaging in off-road adventures shouldn’t come at the expense of our safety. Reckless behaviour on the road already results in the tragic loss of thousands of lives each year. It’s about time we begin treating these matters with the seriousness they deserve. In conclusion, we earnestly implore our readers never to attempt extreme stunts, even if they possess a capable SUV like the Thar.
