Mahindra Thar 3-door facelift could debut in Nepal with new grille and lights

Mahindra's Thar 3-door SUV facelift has been caught testing in India again. The latest spy shots give a clearer look at the updated front end.

Design changes spotted

  • The test vehicle carries a new five-slot front grille with circular LED headlamps on either side.
  • The front fenders look reworked, with new position lamps added.
  • Spy images also show a new five-spoke alloy wheel design. This points to a mild cosmetic update, not a full overhaul.

Engines and drivetrains

The facelifted Thar 3-door is expected to keep its current engine range:

  • 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine
  • 1.5-litre diesel engine
  • 2.2-litre diesel engine

These are likely to stay paired with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearboxes. Four-wheel drive will remain available on selected variants. The update looks focused on styling and features. The mechanical package stays the same.

What it means for Nepal

The Mahindra Thar is one of the most anticipated off-road SUVs among Nepali buyers. No official Nepal launch or pricing has been announced yet. Until a local distributor confirms plans, Nepali enthusiasts can only track the facelifted Thar 3-door through updates from India.
