The Mahindra Thar has long been synonymous with rugged off-roading in India, and the latest generation takes this legacy to an all-new level. Combining classic SUV DNA with modern comforts, advanced features, and powerful engines, the 2025 Mahindra Thar appeals to both adventure enthusiasts and urban drivers alike.
Rugged and Bold Design
The Mahindra Thar retains its iconic boxy silhouette while incorporating contemporary styling elements. The signature seven-slat grille, round headlamps, LED DRLs, flared wheel arches, and muscular bumpers give it a robust and aggressive stance. Available in hard-top, convertible, and soft-top variants, the Thar offers multiple personalization options to suit different lifestyles.
Powerful Engine Choices
Under the hood, the Mahindra Thar comes with two capable engine options – a 2.0L mStallion turbo-petrol and a 2.2L mHawk diesel. Both engines deliver excellent low-end torque, making the SUV perfect for challenging terrains as well as city driving. Transmission choices include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic, offering flexibility for different driving preferences.
True Off-Road Capabilities
The Thar is built on a ladder-frame chassis with a 4×4 drivetrain, low-range transfer case, and high ground clearance, ensuring it can conquer rocky trails, muddy paths, and sandy dunes with ease. Features like mechanical locking differentials and water-wading capability further enhance its off-road prowess.
Modern and Comfortable Cabin
While the Thar is primarily an off-roader, its interior is surprisingly modern and comfortable. It comes with a touchscreen infotainment system, smartphone connectivity, premium upholstery, and roof-mounted speakers. The cabin is designed to be weather-resistant, making it easy to clean after off-road adventures.
Safety and Technology
The Mahindra Thar is equipped with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP with rollover mitigation, hill-hold and hill-descent control, and ISOFIX mounts. The strong build quality ensures safety even in extreme conditions. Modern features like a digital MID, steering-mounted controls, and cruise control make driving more convenient.
Comfortable Ride with Versatility
Despite its off-road focus, the Thar offers a smooth ride on city roads as well. The suspension is tuned for comfort, while the seating provides good support for long journeys. Its versatile nature makes it suitable for both adventurous trips and daily commuting.
Conclusion
The Mahindra Thar remains the ultimate choice for adventure lovers who also want modern comfort and technology in their SUV. With its powerful engines, unmatched off-road capabilities, and stylish design, it strikes the perfect balance between ruggedness and sophistication. Whether you’re exploring untamed trails or cruising through city streets, the Mahindra Thar is a companion built to handle it all.
