Mahindra Thar 3-Door Facelift: Rugged Design, Powerful Engine, Advanced Features, and Modern Comfort Combined SUV
The Mahindra Thar 3-Door 2025 Facelift has arrived with a bold new attitude and a refined sense of comfort. Famous for its rugged off-road ability and adventurous spirit, the latest version of the Thar adds premium upgrades to make it not just a capable SUV, but also a stylish and comfortable daily drive. Mahindra’s goal with this facelift was simple — keep the iconic Thar DNA alive while enhancing everyday usability.
Exterior Design: Tougher and More Modern
The Thar’s 2025 facelift keeps its signature boxy, muscular stance, but Mahindra has added modern design elements that make it even more appealing. The new front grille, revised LED headlamps with DRLs, and reworked bumper design give the SUV a stronger, more sophisticated appearance.
The SUV also gets updated alloy wheels, wider fenders, and new dual-tone color options, including Everest White, Desert Sand, and Napoli Black. These subtle but noticeable changes add to its road presence and make the Thar look more premium without losing its tough, off-road-ready charm.
Mahindra has officially unveiled the much-awaited Thar 3-Door 2025 Facelift, blending its legendary off-road DNA with a dose of premium features and refined design. Known for its adventure-ready stance and go-anywhere attitude, the latest Thar takes things a notch higher with modern tech, fresh looks, and smarter interiors — all while keeping its tough soul intact.
At first glance, the new Mahindra Thar 3-Door looks even more muscular. The front grille now sports a refreshed design with dual-tone silver inserts and a body-coloured finish. The bumpers — both front and rear — have been reworked for a more aggressive stance, while the fog lamp housings and wheel arches feature subtle styling tweaks.
Adding to the road presence are two new colour options — Tango Red and Battleship Grey — giving buyers more choice to suit their adventurous persona. The rear section also sees practical updates like a rear-wiper and washer, plus a full-size alloy spare wheel mounted on the tailgate for a rugged yet premium touch.
Engines & Performance: The Same Proven Power
Under the hood, Mahindra continues with the tried-and-tested engine lineup. The facelift retains the 1.5-litre diesel (RWD), 2.2-litre diesel (4WD), and 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engines. Transmission options include both 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearboxes, depending on variant.
While there’s no mechanical overhaul, the Thar’s ladder-frame chassis and 4×4 system with low-range transfer case remain its strongest suit — ensuring it still dominates in mud, sand, or rocky trails. Ride quality and off-road articulation are as impressive as ever, making it one of India’s most capable off-roaders.
Price & Variants
The 2025 Thar 3-Door Facelift starts at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base RWD diesel variant and goes up to around ₹16.99 lakh for the top-spec 4WD automatic. That makes it competitively priced against rivals like the Force Gurkha and Maruti Jimny, offering a perfect mix of capability and comfort.
The new Thar 3-Door Facelift doesn’t reinvent the wheel — but it smartly polishes it. With upgraded interiors, a larger touchscreen, and a few key comfort features, it becomes a better everyday companion without losing its off-road toughness. For enthusiasts who love rugged adventures but want a modern driving experience, the 2025 Thar Facelift strikes the right balance.
