π A Popular SUV Gets an Update
The Mahindra Thar has been very popular in India since it launched in 2020. Over the years, Mahindra added more versions like the cheaper 2WD Thar and the five-door Thar Roxx. Both have done well in the market.
Even now, people wait 4 to 6 months to get their Thar because of the high demand.
π Facelift Launch Soon
It has been almost five years since the current 3-door Thar was launched. Mahindra is now making an updated version of this SUV. Test models have already been seen on roads.
The new 3-door Thar facelift is expected to launch on September 1, 2025.

- Updated fog lamp area
- Slightly different front grille
- C-shaped LED lights
