Overview
- The facelift is due to be revealed on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, and Mahindra has already released official teasers that preview the new look.
- Exterior changes reported from teasers and spy shots include a revised grille with honeycomb pattern, projector LED headlamps with C‑shaped DRLs, tweaked bumpers and new alloy wheel designs that echo the Thar Roxx.
- Multiple outlets say the cabin will gain more tech such as a 10.25‑inch digital driver display, a 360‑degree camera, ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging and automatic climate control, though Mahindra has not confirmed fitment by variant.
- All reports indicate no major mechanical changes: the current engines and transmissions are expected to carry over, keeping the 2.0L turbo‑petrol, 1.5L diesel and 2.2L diesel choices with six‑speed manual and available six‑speed automatic units.
- Analysts expect a small price rise versus the outgoing three‑door Thar (current range Rs 10.32–18.00 lakh ex‑showroom) and the facelift will keep the model positioned against rivals such as the Maruti Jimny and Force Gurkha while possibly returning a soft‑top in select reports.
