Mahindra Readies Second Facelift for 3‑Door Thar

Reports say the update will modernize exterior styling and cabin tech while retaining the Thar’s ladder‑frame chassis and current engine lineup.

Overview

  • The facelift is expected to be revealed around September 22, 2026, according to industry sources and recent test‑mule images seen on public social channels.
  • Spied prototypes show Roxx‑inspired exterior revisions including a new grille, projector LED headlamps with C‑shaped daytime running lights, redesigned tail lamps and new alloy wheels.
  • Journalists report selective cabin upgrades are likely and could include a wireless phone charger, a 10.25‑inch digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control and a rear‑view camera.
  • All current engines are expected to carry over: the 2.0‑litre turbo‑petrol (about 152 hp), the 1.5‑litre diesel (about 119 hp) and the 2.2‑litre diesel (about 132 hp) with the same gearbox and drivetrain pairings.
  • Sources say Mahindra will likely revise prices modestly and may target on‑road ride comfort—reports mention possible electric power steering and suspension tuning—while official specifications remain unconfirmed.
