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.
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.
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).
