The new-gen Mahindra Thar will be bigger and more feature loaded than its predecessor
The latest set of spy pictures gives a clear glimpse of what we can expect from the upcoming Thar SUV in terms of exterior and interior. Notably, this is not the first time we are seeing the spy images of the SUV revealing interior details. However, the pictures indicate that Mahindra will be stressing more on comfort this time around, without compromising on the off-roading characteristics of the SUV.
The upcoming off-roader SUV will continue to sport a boxy silhouette, circular headlamps with LED DRLs, long bonnet, LED tail lights, tailgate-mounted spare wheel, alloy wheels and more. The leaked image also reveals 'Thar' engraving on the LED taillights. The new Thar will also be offered with multi-spoke alloys, which appear to be 18-inch wheels. The carmaker will be offering the SUV in both hard-top and soft-top configurations. This will be the first instance when the SUV will be made available in both the setups.

New-Gen Mahindra Thar will get all-blacked paint-scheme on the inside giving a premium appeal
As it can be seen from the spy images, the SUV will boast a black-themed cabin with contrast white stitching on the seats, adding to the upmarket feel. It will also sport plenty of premium features including a large touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Moreover, the round-shaped air conditioning vents are neatly positioned below the touchscreen and climate control buttons, giving a premium appeal to the cabin. The SUV will also get a new instrument panel featuring analogues dials on either side along with digital display in the center.
