Minor interior changes likely

The Mahindra Thar is due for an update, and wrapped test cars have been spotted quite a few times by now. This three-door sub-four-metre SUV has been teased, ahead of its launch. We anticipate an arrival during the festive season.

The teaser goes with the tagline – Off-road adventure now gets muddier. The teaser does not hint at a specific launch timeline. While technical specifications are not currently known, we have seen an updated five-slat front grille, projector headlights (elements from the Roxx), and changed alloys. Interior updates could include a larger infotainment, analog + digital instrument cluster, and 360° cameras.

No mechanical changes are anticipated, and the facelifted version could carry over the same 2.0-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre diesel motors, with each churning out 150bhp/300Nm and 117bhp/320Nm, respectively. Both 2WD and 4WD will be offered. Transmission duties will be handled by six-speed manual and six-speed torque converter automatic gearboxes.
