Mahindra Thar Facelift Interiors Spied- Check Similarities With Thar Roxx
The Mahindra Thar has been one of the best-selling models in the brand's arsenal, and the range started accumulating even more numbers with the launch of the Thar Roxx. However, the SUV has been around for 5 years and is now in need of an update. Taking note of the situation, the automaker has started testing the facelift version of the SUV. This iteration is expected to bring some major updates, many of which will likely be borrowed from the Thar Roxx, which is leaps and bounds ahead in terms of features.
Before the launch, the Mahindra Thar facelift has been spotted testing. These pictures reveal several details about the upcoming model. Starting with the exterior, the Thar now gets the same vertical slat grille as the Thar Roxx. It will also borrow the headlight from the five-door version, carrying the same name. This unit consists of an LED projector setup with C-shaped DRLs. Additionally, the front bumper and the fog lamps, along with LED indicators, are the same as Roxx.

Similarly, on the inside, Thar facelift gets a major upgrade with a free-standing 10.2-inch infotainment screen that enables wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It replaces the older 7-inch unit. Furthermore, the steering wheel is the same as the Thar Roxx placed in front of the 10.2-inch fully digital instrument cluster. Meanwhile, it still seems to have manual IRVM, and there are no cameras, indicating that there will be no ADAS.
In terms of mechanics, the Mahindra Thar facelift will likely have no changes. It is going to carry forward the same 1.5-litre diesel, 2.2-litre diesel, and 2.0-litre petrol engine. Transmission options will include a manual and automatic with RWD and 4WD configurations.
Meanwhile, Mahindra & Mahindra is also working on other models like Bolero facelift, Bolero Neo facelift, and XUV 700 facelift. All of these models have been around for some time and now need an update.

No supply issues for EV magnets, monitoring geopolitical risks closely: N. Chandrasekaran
Tata Motors chairman N. Chandrasekaran on Friday told shareholders at the company's 80th annual general meeting that the company is accelerating its electric vehicle (EV) strategy, even as it closely monitors supply chain and geopolitical risks that could affect growth. EVs accounted for 15 per cent of the company's passenger vehicle sales in the last financial year. Tata Motors now aims to reach 30 per cent electric vehicle penetration well before 2030. 'We already have a portfolio—with Nexon EV , Punch EV, Tiago and Tigor—and we have several more models in the pipeline,' Chandrasekaran said. Tata Motors continues to lead the Indian EV market with over 50 per cent share, although this has declined from 79 per cent two years ago as Mahindra & Mahindra, Hyundai Motor India and MG Motor India expand their offerings. 'Yes, competition has increased, but we remain fully committed and have a runway,' he said. Supply chain, tariff impact under watch Chandrasekaran said the company is monitoring supply chain and geopolitical risks, including the sourcing of rare earth magnets used in EVs. 'We are not facing any issues. We are able to source the magnets we need and have the right level of inventory,' he said. 'We're also working with the government on alternative resources. This is something we are watching very carefully.' He addressed concerns around increased US tariffs on UK-made vehicles, which would affect Jaguar Land Rover . 'If the tariffs had gone to 27.5 per cent, the impact would have been £1.6 billion. With the UK-US trade deal , that's coming down to 10 per cent, and JLR's mitigation steps will reduce the impact to around £600 million,' he said. Tata Motors will participate in the government's EV bus programmes through its mobility business and is testing 12 hydrogen buses and trucks. 'The cost of production and operations for hydrogen is still high. This won't scale in the near term,' he said. The company's plan to demerge its passenger and commercial vehicle businesses remains on schedule. Both units are expected to list separately in the December quarter. 'All three businesses have balance sheets and cash flows. There is no need for large-scale debt unless a strategic opportunity arises,' Chandrasekaran added.
