Expected to go on sale in the first week of September 2025, the Mahindra Thar facelift will get an updated exterior design, revised interiors and new features
Mahindra & Mahindra has been on a roll since the launch of the Thar back in 2020. The rugged off-road SUV is quite a popular choice among new car buyers, thanks to its road presence, high ground clearance, potent powertrain and go-anywhere capability.
Over the years, the Thar nameplate has seen an expansion with the launch of the pocket-friendly RWD (rear-wheel-drive) version and the more practical Thar Roxx with a proper 5-door setup. Now, the second-generation Thar 3-door is due for a mid-life facelift update, as after 5 years of its initial debut, the SUV needs a fresh appeal in order to continue its momentum in the market.
The Thar 3-door facelift will most likely be launched in the first week of September, with the bookings expected to start soon after. The delivery timeline cannot be confirmed as of now, however, going by Mahindra’s typical launch strategy, we could expect the deliveries of the new model to commence in the month of October.

Talking about the updates, the facelifted Thar will get an all-new front fascia, inspired by the Thar Roxx. A new front grille, LED headlamps with integrated C-shaped DRLs and a revised front bumper will be a part of the package. It will get a new set of alloy wheels, and the tail lights will get a new pattern, albeit in the familiar housing.
The highlight of the Thar facelift will be its overhauled cabin layout, which will see the addition of a free-standing 10.25-inch infotainment system. It will most likely get the Mahindra’s AdrenoX connected car tech, with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Moreover, it will get a new steering wheel seen on the Thar Roxx, Scorpio N and XUV700.

The centre console will likely be tweaked to accommodate a wireless charger, and it could also get an automatic climate control system. In addition to this, we expect the updated model to come with a fully digital instrument cluster. The Mahindra Thar 3-Door facelift will continue to be powered by the familiar 1.5-litre turbo diesel, 2.2-litre mHawk diesel and 2.0-litre mStallion petrol engines.
It will be available in both RWD and 4WD configurations. The Indian SUV manufacturer discontinued the soft-top roof variants of the Thar earlier this year, standardising the hard-top roof across the line-up. It will be interesting to see whether the upcoming facelift model will get the option of a soft-top roof or not.
