Mahindra’s Thar is set to hit Indian roads on September 22, with a price bump that buyers should note. The base 3‑door model starts at ₹10.32 lakh and tops out at ₹18 lakh ex‑showroom; the facelift is expected to push those figures up a bit.
The new look begins at the front. Spy‑shots and a mud‑covered grille reveal a Thar‑Roxx‑style face with vertical slats, mesh inserts, and LED circular projectors. The bumper and fog lamps have also been tweaked, and the wheels sport a fresh pattern that keeps the same 17‑inch size.
Inside, the rumours are louder than the teaser. A digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, and an auto‑dimming rear‑view mirror are likely, alongside a 360‑degree camera and ventilated front seats. Nothing’s been officially confirmed yet, so keep an eye on the next reveal.
Under the hood, nothing major changes. The Thar will still offer a 1.5‑litre turbo diesel that stays manual and RWD, a 2.0‑litre petrol, and a 2.2‑litre diesel, all with automatic options and 4WD on the larger engines. The unchanged engines mean the power output remains the same, but the price hike could push the top model past ₹18 lakh.
The launch will roll out in major metros first, with full availability expected by late October. Until then, Mahindra is likely to drop more images and specs, so keep your eyes on the official channel for the final details.
