Mahindra Thar Facelift 2025 – What’s New and Why It Matters 



Few SUVs in India have a fan following as strong as the Mahindra Thar. Whether you’re a hardcore off-roader, a weekend traveler, or simply someone who loves road presence, the Thar has always delivered. Now, Mahindra is gearing up to launch the Thar Facelift (3-Door) around September 2025, and the buzz is already electric. Let’s break down what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and why this update feels exciting.

A Fresh Face, Inspired by the Roxx

At first glance, the upcoming Thar looks familiar but sharper. Mahindra has taken design cues from the recently introduced Thar Roxx, giving the facelifted version a more modern yet rugged personality. Expect a new grille with horizontal slats, C-shaped LED DRLs, and projector headlamps that instantly make the SUV feel premium. Reprofiled bumpers, tweaked skid plates, flared fenders, and refreshed alloy wheels complete the look. Even the rear tail-lamps are getting a sleeker makeover. It’s still the Thar we love, but with more polish and attitude.

A Cabin That Feels 2025-Ready

If you’ve ever sat inside the current Thar, you’d know it’s practical and tough, but not exactly tech-savvy. That’s about to change. The facelift promises a free-standing 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Add to that a fully digital instrument cluster and a steering wheel borrowed from the Scorpio N and XUV700, and suddenly the Thar feels less barebones and more feature-rich.

Rumors also suggest automatic climate control, wireless charging, premium upholstery, and Mahindra’s connected car tech (AdrenoX). While it won’t get ADAS just yet, the overall package will make daily driving more comfortable without losing the SUV’s rugged DNA.11222

Engines That Still Pack a Punch

Here’s where Mahindra isn’t fixing what isn’t broken. The facelift will continue with the proven set of engines:

  • 1.5-litre diesel (budget and efficiency-friendly)

  • 2.2-litre mHawk diesel (torque king)

  • 2.0-litre mStallion petrol (for the enthusiasts)

These will be paired with 6-speed manual and automatic gearboxes, with both 2WD and 4WD options. That means whether you’re a city driver or an off-road junkie, there’s still a Thar for you.

Why This Update Makes Sense

The Thar has always been about raw capability and character. But with lifestyle SUVs gaining popularity, buyers now expect more comfort, convenience, and tech. Mahindra seems to be striking the right balance here—keeping the soul of the Thar intact while upgrading it for 2025.

Expected Launch and Price

Mahindra is likely to reveal the facelift in September 2025, with deliveries starting by October, just in time for the festive season. Prices are expected to see a slight bump over the current model, but given the upgrades, that premium seems justified.

Final Thoughts

The 2025 Mahindra Thar facelift is shaping up to be more than just a cosmetic upgrade. With fresh styling, modern tech inside, and the same tried-and-tested engines, it’s clear that Mahindra wants to make the Thar appeal to both adventure seekers and everyday drivers. What makes this update exciting is how it balances rugged off-road DNA with the creature comforts today’s buyers expect.

If you’ve been waiting for a Thar that feels just as at home in the city as it does in the mountains, this facelift might be the perfect fit. It’s still the SUV that turns heads, climbs trails, and makes weekend getaways memorable—but now with a dose of modern flair.

Trump’s 50% Tariffs on India Spark a Global Storm

The Trump administration shook New Delhi in August 2025 when it raised duties on Indian goods by 50%. What was earlier a 25% “reciprocal” tariff has now been doubled, even as India continued to import cheap Russian oil. This move immediately sparked sharp diplomatic friction and sent shockwaves through global trade corridors. Many analysts have warned that this step could derail decades of U.S.–India economic cooperation. This sudden hike immediately created tension in the relations between Washington and New Delhi. For India, the step was considered highly punitive and unfair, as it delivered a major blow to the economic and strategic partnership that had been developing between India and the U.S. for years. Indian officials described the U.S. move as “unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable” and emphasized that India has the full right to secure affordable energy to meet the needs of its huge population and growing economy. Economists and trade experts have also warned that this co...

Russian oil discount to India

  Russia Offers 5% Oil Discount to India Amid Trump’s Tariff Pressure”   Donald Trump , on behalf of the U.S., has imposed tariffs of up to 50% on India — starting with 25% and then an additional 25% penalty — because India continues to buy oil from Russia. In response, both Indian and Russian officials have defended the deal, calling the tariffs “unfair” and stressing India’s right to act on the principle of “strategic autonomy.” Russia further stated that if U.S. tariffs make it difficult for Indian exports to enter the American market, then the Russian market will remain open for Indian goods. A Russian representative even remarked, “friends don’t behave like that.” These statements clearly indicate that, despite U.S. pressure, India and Russia’s strategic ties will remain strong .
