Mahindra has updated the Thar RWD for 2025, making it more comfortable and easier to live with. The SUV keeps its bold and rugged design but now feels more modern inside. With prices starting at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Thar RWD remains the most affordable way to own a Thar in India.
This facelift is aimed at buyers who love the Thar’s look but mostly drive in the city. The focus is clearly on convenience, comfort, and everyday usability.
What’s New in the 2025 Facelift
The updated Thar RWD gets small but noticeable design changes. A body-coloured front grille gives it a cleaner look, while new colour options like Tango Red and Battleship Grey add freshness. Mahindra has also added five alloy wheels, including one for the spare tyre.
Inside the cabin, the biggest upgrade is the new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It replaces the older 7-inch screen and makes the interior feel more premium. Other useful additions include door-mounted power window switches, rear AC vents, a rear-view camera, and a rear washer and wiper.
Engine Choices and City-Friendly Drive
Mahindra continues to offer two engine options with the Thar RWD. Buyers can choose a 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 119 hp or a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with 152 hp. Both engines are available with a 6-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Since this is a rear-wheel-drive model, it is lighter and more comfortable for daily use. It is best suited for city driving and highway trips, especially for buyers who do not need four-wheel-drive capability.
Price, Variants and Availability
The 2025 Mahindra Thar RWD is priced between ₹9.99 lakh and ₹12.19 lakh (ex-showroom). It is offered in AXT and LXT variants and now comes only with a hard-top body style. Convertible versions have been discontinued.
Thanks to higher production, waiting periods have reduced in many cities. In some areas, buyers can get delivery in around two months, making it an even more attractive option.
Conclusion
The 2025 Mahindra Thar RWD facelift makes a strong lifestyle SUV even better. With more features, a modern interior, and a competitive price, it fits perfectly into daily city life while still looking tough and stylish. For buyers who want the Thar experience without the cost of a 4×4 system, the updated Thar RWD continues to be a smart and popular choice.
