Mahindra Thar Electric Spotted: What Does It Look Like?
The test mule is heavily camouflaged, but it looks very similar to the Vision T concept that Mahindra showed in August 2025. It is a five-door SUV with a boxy design, a flat roof and upright pillars.
At the front, we can see a wide grille with vertical elements arranged in two levels. It gets squarish headlamps, a flat bonnet and large rectangular mirrors similar to the current Thar. The wheel arches are flared, and the wheels look like 17- or 18-inch units. The tyres seem road-biased rather than off-road. At the rear, the test mule lacks a spare wheel on the tailgate. The tail lamps look like temporary units. Also, the biggest giveaway that it’s an EV on test is the missing exhaust/tailpipe.

Not much of the cabin is visible. We can see a digital instrument cluster and big grab handles near the A-pillars. The Vision T concept had a portrait touchscreen, so the production model could get a similar screen, possibly shared with the new Scorpio Lifestyler. However, nothing is confirmed yet. Moreover, Mahindra has filed design patents for both the Vision T and the Vision SXT, suggesting the designs are nearing production.
