Mahindra is getting ready to introduce a facelifted version of its 3-door Thar SUV, and it has once again been seen during testing. The new version is expected to come with multiple feature updates and a refreshed design inspired by the Mahindra Thar Roxx edition.
The 3-door Thar has gained popularity due to its off-road capabilities and unique styling. With the facelift, Mahindra aims to make it more appealing, especially to young SUV lovers who are looking for rugged design mixed with modern features.
Spotted Again During Testing
The test model was seen covered but revealed some important updates. According to media reports, the facelifted version will carry new styling cues both inside and outside the SUV. These include a full black exterior and upgraded cabin features.
Features Inspired by Thar Roxx
One of the major highlights is that the dashboard and infotainment system will be inspired by the Thar Roxx model. The power window switches will now be placed on the door panels instead of the center console for better convenience.
Other design elements such as headlights, front grille, and bumper are also expected to take cues from the Roxx variant, giving it a more aggressive and sporty appeal.
No Change in Engine Options
As per reports, the facelift will not include any changes to the engine lineup. The SUV will continue to offer the existing engine options:
- 1.5-litre Turbo Diesel
- 2.2-litre mHawk Turbo Diesel
- 2.0-litre Turbo Petrol
Transmission options will remain the same, offering both manual and automatic choices. These engines are already known for offering strong off-road performance and solid fuel efficiency for an SUV of this size
Expected Price Range
While the company has not officially announced pricing, sources suggest there might be a slight increase in price due to the new features and styling upgrades.
