Mahindra has recently introduced new colour options for the Thar’s 4×2 rear-wheel drive variants – Everest White and Blazing Bronze – exclusively for this new powertrain option. However, the former colourway will now be offered on the 4×4 Thar as well. Mahindra’s official social media channels leaked this update and then removed it shortly after.
In this new shade, the Everest White body panels contrast nicely with the dark grey and black details found on the roof, cladding, and side mirrors. With the introduction of this new white exterior hue, the Mahindra Thar 4×4 will be offered in a total of five colour options, including Napoli Black, Red Rage, Galaxy Grey, and Aquamarine. The Blazing Bronze shade will continue to be limited to its 4×2 variants only.

Aside from introducing the new white colour option, the Mahindra Thar is expected to remain unchanged. It will continue to be offered in two variants: AX Opt and LX, which can be had with either a fixed hard top or a convertible soft top roof.
Mahindra offers the Thar with three engine options: a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel, and a 2.2-litre diesel. Here’s a look at their specifications: –
| Engine | 1.5-litre Diesel Engine | 2-litre Petrol Engine | 2.2-litre Diesel Engine |
| Max Power | 118PS | 152PS | 130PS |
| Max Torque | 300Nm | 300Nm(MT)320Nm(AT) | 300Nm |
| Gearbox | 6-speed MT | 6-speed MT/AT | 6-speed MT/AT |
| Drivetrains | RWD | RWD / 4WD | 4WD |
Mahindra currently retails the Thar between Rs 9.99 lakh and Rs 16.49 lakh (ex-showroom). In the lifestyle utility vehicle category, it goes against the likes of the Force Gurkha and the upcoming 5-door Maruti Suzuki Jimny.
