Conclusion
Mahindra has faced a few hurdles in the past, due to the design similarities between Thar and Jeep Wrangler. Changing the design of Thar is probably part of the plan. This major shift in design language will play a pivotal role in increasing Mahindra’s global presence by exporting Thar (ICE and EV) with this new design language. Just like the magic spell Thar has cast on Indian buyers, it is likely to have a similar effect in global markets. Our 2025 Mahindra Thar Electric render looks export-ready and packs the company’s new INGLO born-electric platform. Battery pack could be in the range of 60-80 kWh with dual motor setup enabling AWD.
