Mahindra Thar

The Mahindra Thar price starts from ₹10.32 lakh, and rises to ₹18.00 lakh, ex-showroom, with 7 variants on offer. The second-generation Mahindra Thar marked a clear step up over its predecessor, improving performance, comfort and everyday usability without compromising its off-road capability. The 3-door Thar slots below the 5-door Mahindra Thar Roxx. 

The Thar facelift continues with the 119hp 1.5-litre diesel, 132hp 2.2-litre diesel and 152hp 2-litre petrol - the former only available on the 4x2. All 3 engines come mated to a 6-speed manual, while the latter two can be had with a 6-speed torque-converter automatic. A 4WD option is available with both the 2-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines. The Thar mileage will depend on driving style, road conditions and several other factors. The 1.5-litre engine has a claimed 15.2kpl mileage.

With the 2025 mid-lifecycle update, the Thar received a body-coloured front grille, rear wiper and washer and a rear camera. New exterior colour options - Tango Red (which replaces Red Rage) and Battleship Grey - have been carried over from the Thar Roxx colour palette. The Thar interior has been upgraded with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a new steering wheel, rear AC vents, door-mounted power window switches, individual centre armrests for the front passenger and driver with storage, a grab handle on the A-pillar and a fuel-lid opener button.
