Bold New Design
The updated Thar gets major styling changes while staying true to its macho identity. Up front, a new grille inspired by the Thar Roxx gives it a stronger, bolder presence. The addition of LED projector headlamps with C-shaped DRLs and redesigned alloy wheels adds to its modern appeal. Inside, the cabin has been refreshed with soft-touch materials, a redesigned dashboard, and better ergonomics. The power window switches are now moved to the doors, adding to the premium feel. The Thar still looks rugged but is now more refined, making it equally attractive for off-roaders and urban buyers.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the facelifted Thar gets Mahindra’s 2.0L mStallion turbo-petrol engine, delivering strong performance across terrains. Buyers also get the option of a 2.2L mHawk diesel and a 1.5L diesel, making the lineup versatile. Mileage figures remain practical, with the petrol variant expected to return around 13–15 km/l. The SUV is available in both rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD) versions, ensuring it appeals to both city commuters and hardcore adventure lovers.
Tech and Features
The star of the cabin is the new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A fully digital instrument cluster further enhances the modern driving feel. Premium features include a 360-degree camera, ventilated seats in higher trims, wireless charging, rear AC vents, and upgraded audio.
