The Mahindra Thar facelift will be launched in September 2025, with the Thar Rock-like exterior, 10.2-inch infotainment, the same engine option and better off-road features.
Mahindra Thar facelift: exterior
Prior to the launch, Mahindra Thar facelift has been seen during testing, and the spy image has exposed several details about the upcoming model. Starting from the exterior, the Thar now has the same vertical slat grill in Thar Rocks. It will also adopt a headlight design from a five-door Rocks, including LED projector and C-shape's de time running lights (DRLs). Apart from this, front bumper, fog lamps and LED turn indicators are also similar to Rocks.
In the interior, the Thar face will have an important upgrade, which will have a 10.2-inch freestanding infotainment display that will support wireless Android auto and Apple carplay, which will replace the earlier 7-inch variants. In addition, the steering wheel will be similar to the Thar Rocks, which will be placed in front of the 10.2-inch Digital Instrument Cluster. However, it seems that it still has a manual inside rearview mirror (IRVM), and no camera is present, which shows that ADAS will not be included.
Engine and power
Talking about mechanical aspects, the current features in Mahindra Thar facelift will remain without any change. This will continue to introduce the same 1.5-liter diesel, 2.2-liter diesel and 2.0-liter petrol engine. Transmission options will be from manual to automatic, which will be available in rear-wheel drive (RWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) configuration. This enhances the off-road capabilities of the ladder-on-frame SUV.
