Just wait a little! Mahindra Thar 3 Door coming in a new avatar, know what will be new

Just wait a little! Mahindra Thar 3 Door coming in a new avatar, know what will be new

New Delhi. Mahindra launched a new chapter in her passenger vehicle (PV) industry when she launched the Second Jane Thar in late 2020. The car was more developed and powerful than its appearances, yet the fundamental strength of a ladder-on-frame off-roading SUV remained in it. Thar has been on the streets for almost five years and so far it has not received a single facelift update, but, now this situation is going to change. Come, learn in details.

Testing starts
Mahindra is preparing to launch the Thar facelift in the near future. In the last few years, on several occasions, the Test Mules of the updated 3-door Thar have been seen. Now, a production-model has been captured in camera, which is reaching a dealership yard, which shows that the launch in the market is close.

Mahindra Thar facelift

Styling updates can be seen in the YouTube video posted by Shivuz Garage, taking out a production-spec Mahindra Thar out of a trailer and parking in a dealership yard. In the video, there is a wrapping on the new 3-door Thar front grille that points to some updates in this part. Originally, the Thar 3-Dore facelift will come with an updated grille that will have vertical slats, which are similar in its 5-door cybuling Thar Rocks.

How is the look?
At the back, it has a rear wiper and washer. We also see five alloy wheels that include mounted spare wheels on the tailgate, which was converted into a steel unit some time ago. Apart from this, there was no visible change in the latest image.

Mahindra Thar facelift

Inside the cabin, some very important updates are found in the facelifted 3-door Thar. It has a new steering wheel and a free-standing 10.2-inch infotainment screen, which has been shared with Thar Rocks. The touchscreen infotainment system is more advanced and easy than the current unit.

Mahindra Thar facelift: powertrain specifications
Mechani, facelifted Mahindra Thar will probably be unchanged. Therefore, it will continue to give three engine options: 1.5-liter MHAWK Diesel (117 bhp and 300 Nm), 2.0-liter Mstallion turbocharged petrol (150 bhp and 300–320 nm), and 2.2-liter MHAWK Diesel (130 BHP and 300 Nm).

As soon as we are entering the calendar in the last quarter of 2025, many major automobile manufacturers are ready to launch their new cars and SUVs in the Indian market. Due to the decrease in GST rates and the upcoming Diwali festival, the emotion of the market is high, which is usually considered auspicious for the purchase of new vehicles. Therefore, many much awaited cars and SUVs will be launched in the next 2-3 months. Here, we will talk about this year's upcoming car launch of other major auto brands including Tata, Hyundai, Mahindra and Skoda.

1. Tata Sierra: Tata Sierra is expected to come on Indian roads in November 2025, which is making a comeback after a long gap of more than two decades. The pre-production model of this SUV was displayed at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in January 2025. Since then, it has been captured on camera several times during the Test run, in which Spy Images have revealed most of the details of the production ready version.

2. New Generation: The Hyundai Venue will be launched in the domestic market on 24 October 2025. The new generation SUV will have a cosmetic overhaul in terms of design, cabin and features. It has been seen several times as a test mule and most styling cues have been borrowed from large Hyundai SUVs such as Creta and Alkazar. For the first time in the segment in the new generation Hyundai Venue, there is expected to have Andevance Safety Features with Level 2 ADAS suits. Mechanically, it has been claimed to have the same petrol and diesel engine set.

3. 2025 Mahindra Thar facelift: The 3-Dore Thar off-roader will get a mid-cycle facelift that will have micro design updates, new cabin upholstery and upmarket features, as it will go for sale in the country in October 2025.

The cabin will have other additional features including new 2-spoke steering wheels, 6-airbags and 8-speaker music systems. We hope that the same transmission options will remain in the SUV with the same petrol engine and CNG kit.
