Mahindra is getting ready to launch the 2025 Mahindra Thar facelift, and it brings a bunch of updates that go beyond just a few cosmetic tweaks. Known for its rugged looks and off-road abilities, the Thar is now aiming to offer more comfort and features without losing its iconic identity.
Refreshed Design, Still Bold
The overall silhouette of the Thar remains familiar, but Mahindra has made subtle design changes to modernize its look. Expect a revised front grille, new alloy wheel design, and updated LED headlamps and tail-lamps. The bumpers look slightly more sculpted, giving it a more refined but still muscular appeal.
Mahindra may also introduce a new hard-top roof option and more color choices to appeal to a wider range of buyers.
Interior Gets a Needed Upgrade
One of the biggest changes is on the inside. The 2025 Mahindra Thar Facelift is expected to feature a larger touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, improved dashboard layout, and new upholstery for better comfort. Top variants may also include a sunroof, rear AC vents, and added storage areas—features that make it more practical for daily use.
Same Engines, Better Tuning
The facelift is likely to continue with the 2.0L turbo-petrol and 2.2L diesel engine options, paired with 6-speed manual and automatic gearboxes. However, Mahindra is expected to tweak the tuning for smoother power delivery and better mileage. Expect mileage figures to improve slightly, with the diesel delivering around 15–16 km/l under mixed driving conditions.
Safety & Ride Quality Improvements
The updated Thar may get additional safety features like six airbags, 360-degree camera, and ADAS functions in top trims. Mahindra is also expected to work on improving ride comfort, especially for rear passengers, which has been a common user concern.
Final Verdict
With meaningful updates to both design and features, the 2025 Mahindra Thar facelift looks ready to appeal to both adventure lovers and city drivers. It keeps its off-road DNA while becoming more usable for everyday driving.
Price & Launch Timeline
The facelifted Thar is expected to launch by late 2025, with prices starting from ₹11 lakh and going up to ₹17 lakh (ex-showroom). It could be a strong choice for those wanting a versatile SUV with real presence.
