Mahindra Thar 3-Door Exterior Updates
From the exterior, the Mahindra Thar 3-Door still has its old-school rugged face, but has been treated to some discreet revisions that give it a more contemporary look. The radiator grille now comes in body-colored paint, providing a new face-lift. The bumper has silver trim added to it, and coupled with the twin-tone finish, the SUV’s stance becomes aggressive.
There has also been an addition to features in the rear part, like a rear washer-wiper and a parking camera. It is now convenient to open the fuel lid using a switch from the driver’s seat. And perhaps most intriguingly, Mahindra has added two new colors – Tango Red and Battleship Gray, which will entice young customers.
Mahindra Thar 3-Door Interior Updates
The inside provides a new feel. Grab handles mounted on the pillars have been added to facilitate entry and exit. The power window switches have been moved to the door panel to make them smoother.
The most significant upgrade is a steering wheel and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment screen, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This screen is ideal not just for entertainment but also for adventure enthusiasts since it has the Adventure Stats feature. Using this, you can see parameters such as altitude, pitch, yaw angles, and bank angle.
Rear AC vents have also been provided for rear passengers, and a sliding armrest has been provided in the front, which further adds comfort. Overall, the interiors of the Mahindra Thar now feel both premium and practical.
Mahindra Thar 3-Door Engine & Mileage
When performance is concerned, the Mahindra Thar 3-Door stays mechanically unaltered. This SUV keeps going with its robust engine variants – a 1.5L diesel, a 2.2L diesel, and a 2.0L turbo-petrol. The gearbox options are a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic.
When it comes to mileage, the Mahindra Thar 3-Door still provides decent fuel efficiency to the owners. The diesel variant is more efficient on fuel, and the petrol variant is for the performance-focused buyers.
Mahindra Thar 3-Door vs Mahindra Thar 5-Door
Everyone wants to know if the Mahindra Thar 5-Door would cut into demand for the 3-Door once it launches. But then again, the Mahindra Thar 3-Door is special. Its small size, aggressive design, and off-road-readiness lifestyle SUV gives it a certain appeal. The Mahindra Thar 5-door will be family-oriented, but the 3-door model is ideal for off-roading enthusiasts and weekend off-roaders.
Mahindra Thar 4×4 Price and Off-Roading Capability
Wherever the Thar is mentioned, its off-roading capability always comes into focus. The price of Mahindra Thar 4×4 ranges from ₹14.69 lakh to ₹16.99 lakh. This 4WD system turns the Thar into a monster which can conquer any road. Whether it is muddy roads, rocky roadways, or sandy dunes, the Mahindra Thar 4×4 is always prepared with its powerful capability.
Conclusion
The 2025 Mahindra Thar 3-Door is an ideal combination of tough looks, contemporary features, and unmatched performance. The price range is appealing to customers, the interiors now have an even more luxurious look and feel, and this SUV is an off-road enthusiast’s dream machine. Following in the footsteps of the Thar, this model is set to once again conquer the Indian SUV market.
