New Delhi. 2025 Mahindra Thar has been launched in India, which starts at Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Since its return in 2020, Thar remains a style and off-road icon. The new update includes feature enhancement and minor styling changes, while engines and mechanicals are kept the same.
At first glance, it is difficult to identify changes. Thar continues with its signature boxy shape and three-to-door layout, Mahindra has kept the visual updates minimal. A visible change is that the front grille is now body-colored, although its shape and size are the same. The back is now integrated into a parking camera spare wheel hub, and a washer with a rear wiper is also added, which were not earlier.

New paint shades
Mahindra has also added Tango Red and Battleship Gray as new paint shades. The rest of the exterior includes existing elements such as halogen headlamps, fog lamps and 18-inch alloy wheels. A silver insert on the bumper, which was removed a few years ago, is now back.
What are the new features in 2025 Thar?
More clear changes can be seen in the cabin. The power window switch has been swapped with traditional door pads, which has made access more comfortable. Grab handles now appear on A-Pillars, and a sliding center armrest is added. The steering wheel is new and is taken from Mahindra's latest SUV. The infotainment system has now grown with a 10.25-inch display, which changes the old unit.
What are the engine and gearbox options in the new Thar?
Mechanically, Mahindra has kept things stable. There has been no change in suspension, brakes and chassis. Paurtrain is available in petrol (2.0-liter) and diesel (1.5-liter and 2.2-liter) options, with both manual and automatic gearbox, and the layout includes rear-wheel drive and 4×4.
