Mahindra Confirms Thar 3‑Door Facelift for September 22 Launch

The facelift is a styling and equipment refresh that keeps the current engines.

Overview

  • Mahindra will launch the Thar three-door facelift on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, and has released official teasers that preview the revised exterior.
  • Visual changes shown in teasers and spy shots include a reworked grille and bumpers, projector LED headlamps with C-shaped daytime running lights, new dual-tone alloy wheels and updated taillamp detailing.
  • Reporters expect cabin upgrades such as a 10.25-inch digital driver display, automatic climate control and leatherette trim, with optional items like a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats and wireless charging reported but not confirmed.
  • Mahindra is expected to retain the existing engine and transmission lineup, including the 2.0-litre mStallion petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and 2.2-litre mHawk diesel with six-speed manual and six-speed automatic options.
  • Analysts forecast a modest price rise over the current Rs 10.32–18.00 lakh ex-showroom range to roughly Rs 11–19 lakh, a positioning move to keep the Thar competitive with the Maruti Jimny and Force Gurkha while testing buyer appetite for the added features.
