2025 Mahindra Thar Facelift - Expected Changes

The updated Thar SUV is likely to share features with the new Thar Roxx, which is already loaded with several equipment. The SUV is expected to receive a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Adding to it, the SUV gets a 10.25-inch digital instrument console, which we have already seen on the Thar Roxx.

On the outside, the SUV is likely to get a slightly revised front fascia that houses new grille, new front bumper, LED lighting system with new LED daytime running lamps and newly designed alloy wheels. 

Moreover, the Mahindra Thar facelift is most likely to get 6 airbags as standard safety feature. The higher trims could get a 360-degree surround view camera and Level 2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) with features like adaptive cruise control, lane assist, collision avoidance system, blind spot monitoring and others.
