2026 Mahindra Thar Facelift: The Mahindra Thar was introduced in the country in 2010, and it has remained one of the most popular cars in India ever since. After Thar RWD and Thar Roxx, the brand is now planning to launch the facelift model of the Mahindra Thar in the country. The prototypes of the 2026 Mahindra Thar have been spied testing on several occasions in the country. Thus, we expect the brand to launch it by the end of this year. Let’s take a look at the expected design, features, and specs of the upcoming Mahindra Thar Facelift.
Mahindra Thar Facelift 2026: Expected Design
While the overall silhouette of the SUV will remain the same as the current model on sale, it will feature a new front fascia, along with a new rear section. The Mahindra Thar 3-door facelift is expected to feature a new rectangular slat-based grille at the front, along with the new LED projector-based headlamps. The upcoming Thar 3-door facelift is also expected to feature the round LED DRLs, similar to the ones we have seen on the Mahindra Thar ROXX. It is also expected to feature a new rear-end.
