Mahindra Thar 2.2L ZXT 4WD Diesel

Mahindra’s latest Thar update expands the 2.2L diesel to the new ZXT trim, with the 4WD automatic positioned as the top variant at ₹18.99 lakh ex-showroom, making it the most feature-rich choice for buyers who want the diesel Thar with off-road hardware and automatic convenience.

The 2.2L diesel in ZXT 4WD is now part of a broader Thar lineup refresh that adds more trim choice across engines, so buyers can compare the ZXT against LXT on equipment and pricing rather than being limited to the older higher-spec diesel setup alone.

For 2026, the 2.2L ZXT 4WD Diesel continues with the stronger 152 PS, 330 Nm diesel tune and remains available with both manual and automatic transmissions in 4WD form, which keeps it the right pick for buyers prioritising torque, highway usability, and serious off-road capability in a single package.

The Mahindra Thar 2.2L ZXT 4WD Diesel is generally listed at 15.2 kmpl on ARAI figures for the diesel manual, while real-world use is typically lower and depends heavily on traffic, terrain, and driving style. Recent listings also show the 2.2L diesel 4WD as a top-spec, 130 hp, 300 Nm setup, with updated September 2026 market pricing and mileage references around the same 15.2 kmpl figure.
