Mahindra Thar 3-Door Facelift Spotted Testing In India

A camouflaged version of the Mahindra Thar three-door has been spotted testing, leading to reports that the popular off-roader is all set to receive a facelift soon. If true, this will be the first significant update to the Thar three-door, which has only received incremental updates since its launch in 2020. While the images only give us a glimpse of the SUV’s rear end, it looks like the latest iteration of the vehicle will receive an array of new styling cues to bring it visually in line with the Thar Roxx, in addition to a few new features.
