Moreover, the Bolero Neo will also get a new lease of life as the updated model is ready to be launched in the country. 

Thar 3-door and Bolero Neo Facelifts

Both lifestyle SUVs have been caught testing multiple times, revealing interesting details. Our sources confirm that these two SUVs in their upgraded form will be introduced this week. The new Mahindra Thar 3-door facelift will receive significant design and interior changes inspired by the Thar Roxx. The front will have a new grille, signature round LED projector headlamp unit and a revised lower bumper. The SUV will get new LED tail-lights and new 5-spoke alloys. 

Inside the cabin, the Thar 3-door facelift will get a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit. The power window switch control panel will be positioned on the door panels instead of the centre console. The engine options will remain the same, a 1.5L diesel, a 2.2L diesel and a 2.0L turbo petrol. 

The Bolero Neo facelift is expected to receive several major interior changes. It is likely to get a revised dashboard layout, featuring a larger 10.25-inch infotainment screen with wireless connectivity. On the outside, the SUV could get a modified grille with prominent horizontal slats, and a new lower bumper that houses a revised air intake with horizontal slats. It will continue to be offered with the 1.5L, 3-cylinder mHawk 100 turbo diesel engine that produces 100hp and 260Nm of torque. Transmission choices could include a 5-speed manual and an AMT unit.

The SUV has been spotted testing for the first time, suggesting that launch could take place in near future. The spied vehicle was completely covered in thick cloth, but it reveals key details.
