Launched with a focus on lifestyle buyers, the Thar 2025 cements its reputation as the go-to 4×4 for those who want versatility and rugged appeal.
Aggressive Design and Road Presence
The new Thar 2025 carries forward Mahindra’s authentic SUV DNA with a modern twist. The facelift offers a restyled grille, dual-tone bumpers, and premium LED headlamps paired with round DRLs that give Thar an unmistakable muscular stance. Multiple roof options, including convertible soft-top and hard-top variants, add customisation flexibility for open-air adventures. Strong body lines, 18-inch alloy wheels, and tweaked tailgate details reinforce the Thar’s signature off-road charm, making it a showstopper on both city streets and mountain trails.
Premium Cabin and Digital Infotainment
The interior has seen a major upgrade. The Thar 2025 now features a blacked-out dashboard, integrated rear AC vents, and plush upholstery for improved comfort. The highlight is a slick 10.25-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system supporting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, with off-road graphics for trail enthusiasts. Features like cruise control, automatic climate control, steering-mounted controls, and electrically adjustable ORVMs ensure a driver-friendly experience. Washable interiors and detachable roof panels make the Thar ready for real adventure, while split rear seats increase boot flexibility for family trips or luggage.
