2025 Mahindra Thar recently arrived on the Indian market with a starting price of Rs 9.99 lakh. Meanwhile, the top-of-the line variant retails for Rs 16.99 lakh. Both mentioned prices are ex-showroom figures. The update is focused on practical fixes — a larger 10.25-inch infotainment screen, rear AC vents, relocated door switches, and improved ergonomics — rather than mechanical changes. Mahindra now offers the Thar broadly in two trims (AXT and LXT) with RWD and selectable 4x4 layouts, and multiple transmission choices. Here’s the straight, variant-by-variant read to help you pick the right Thar for your use case.

2025 Mahindra Thar: Engines Options
The Thar remains available with Mahindra’s petrol (2.0-litre) and diesel (1.5-litre and 2.2-litre) options and is offered in both RWD and selectable 4x4 layouts with six-speed manual and automatic options — choose based on intended use. If you mostly drive in the city and want the Thar for looks plus occasional touring, the AXT or RWD LXT (manual or auto) is sensible. If you plan serious off-roading or frequent rural use, opt for a 4x4 LXT with the diesel and a manual gearbox for control and torque. Always confirm exact feature lists and on-road pricing with your dealer before booking.
In short, you can pick AXT for budget and brand name, LXT for everyday comfort and true 4x4 capability. Verify your preferred fuel/drive combo, check stock and get a firm on-road quote before you commit.
