The Mahindra Thar 2025 continues its legacy with a bold, retro-modern design that stays true to its off-road DNA. Its upright stance, flared wheel arches, wide grille, round headlamps, and signature boxy silhouette give it a tough and timeless appeal.
Cabin Gets Touchscreen, Cruise Control, and More Utility Without Losing Toughness
Inside, the Thar offers a durable yet tech-savvy cabin that balances practicality with lifestyle features. The 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay sits at the center of the dashboard, flanked by tactile controls and circular AC vents. The digital MID display, steering-mounted controls, cruise control, USB ports, and roof-mounted speakers enhance usability. The Thar’s cabin is washable and water-resistant, designed for those who love open-top adventures and rugged terrains. While the rear seats offer decent space for short trips, the 2-door layout still emphasizes front-seat comfort and off-road focus over family practicality.
Multiple Powertrain Choices With RWD for City Use and 4×4 for Hardcore Adventures
The Mahindra Thar 2025 comes with three engine options: a 2.0L mStallion turbo-petrol (150 PS), a 2.2L mHawk diesel (130 PS), and a smaller 1.5L diesel (118 PS) offered with RWD variants. The 4×4 variants are available with a manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, while the RWD versions are aimed at urban buyers looking for the Thar’s appeal without the off-road commitment. The RWD Thar is more fuel-efficient and affordable, delivering up to 16.5 kmpl. The 4×4 versions come with a low-range transfer case, mechanical locking differential, ESP with rollover mitigation, and hill hold and descent control—making the Thar a beast on trails, dunes, and mountains.
High on Safety With Built-In Strength, Dual Airbags, ESP, and Crash-Test Ratings
The Thar’s ladder-on-frame chassis, reinforced body shell, and high ground clearance of 226 mm make it ideal for rough terrains and unpredictable roads. It comes equipped with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability program (ESP), ISOFIX mounts, and roll cage protection. Mahindra has engineered the Thar with off-roading in mind but has not compromised on basic safety. The RWD variant now appeals to daily drivers who want SUV looks without the bulk of a 4×4 system. The Thar also comes with rear parking sensors, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and built-in rollover protection in higher trims.
India’s Most Iconic SUV Now Appeals to Both Adventure Lovers and Urban Buyers
The Mahindra Thar 2025 is no longer just a niche off-roader it’s evolved into a multi-role SUV that appeals to adventure enthusiasts, young professionals, and even urban lifestyle seekers. With multiple drivetrain options, improved features, a refined cabin, and Mahindra’s strong after-sales network, the Thar remains a dream buy for many Indians. Whether you’re looking for a weekend companion to Ladakh or a daily SUV with serious attitude, the Thar continues to dominate with its charm, toughness, and brand value. Its road presence, convertible appeal, and rugged engineering make it one of the most iconic Indian SUVs ever made.
