About

The Mahindra Thar LXT 4WD is a 3-door compact SUV designed primarily for rugged terrains and adventurous driving in India. It is powered by a 2.0-litre mStallion TGDi petrol engine producing 150 bhp and 300 Nm torque, paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission and a capable four-wheel-drive system. Its off-road cred is supported by double wishbone front suspension, multi-link solid rear axle, and hydraulic steering. The 2025 facelift update adds refinement with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, rear AC vents, improved dashboard layout, and fresh exterior styling such as a body-colored grille. Safety features include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking camera, and brake assist. With 18-inch alloy wheels, the Thar combines bold design, modern tech, and true off-road durability tailored to Indian terrain conditions. However, it balances ruggedness with compromises in rear seat space and ride comfort, making it ideal for enthusiasts rather than large families. It is priced around 14.69 lakh ex-showroom, catering to buyers seeking an iconic lifestyle SUV with genuine four-wheel-drive capability and charismatic presence on Indian roads.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mahindra Thar LXT 4WD stands out as a robust and capable off-roader with a strong petrol 2.0-litre mStallion engine producing 150 bhp and 300 Nm torque, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox and 4WD system. Its rugged build, hydraulic steering, and sophisticated suspension setupincluding double wishbone at the front and multi-link solid axle at the rearoffer commendable ride and handling on rough terrains. The updated 2025 facelift adds creature comforts such as a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, rear AC vents, a redesigned steering wheel, and better ergonomics, improving usability for Indian buyers. While it is lively and fun for urban use, the bulk and stiff suspension make it less ideal for long highway drives or tight city traffic. The vehicle excels best for buyers prioritizing style, off-road prowess, and a tough build rather than outright ride comfort or fuel efficiency. Overall, the Thar LXT 4WD remains a niche SUV that confidently commands attention on Indian roads with its iconic design and capable engineering, making it ideal for enthusiasts and adventurous lifestyles.

Price

The Mahindra Thar LXT 4WD petrol manual variant is priced around 14.69 lakh ex-showroom in India. On-road prices vary across cities but typically fall in the range of 16 lakh to 16.50 lakh depending on state taxes, insurance, and registration fees. When compared to competitors in the lifestyle off-road SUV segment, the Thars pricing is competitive given its premium equipment, strong engine, and 4WD capability. The 2025 facelift comes with a price increase of approximately 30,000 to 40,000, which is justified by added features such as the larger infotainment screen, better interior trim, rear AC vents, and updated styling. While it carries a premium over basic SUVs, the value proposition holds well for buyers seeking a rugged, authentic off-road SUV with modern amenities. The pricing reflects its unique positioning in the Indian market as a lifestyle vehicle rather than a conventional family SUV.

Mileage

Thursday, 09 October 2025 01:30 PM The petrol 2.0-litre Thar LXT 4WD delivers mileage figures of about 15-16 kml under optimal conditions on Indian roads. Real-world driving, especially in city traffic or off-road, will be lower. While this mileage is average for a 4WD petrol SUV, running costs could be higher compared to diesel alternatives or smaller SUVs. Prospective buyers should consider fuel economy secondary to the vehicles off-road capability and ruggedness, balancing lifestyle appeal with mileage expectations.
