Mahindra Thar Now Available In Deep Forest Colour Option

The Mahindra Thar is now available in a new exterior shade: Deep Forest green, available for both the AX(O) and LX variants. This new captivating body hue, already popular with the Scorpio N and the recently launched XUV 3XO, adds a fresh and adventurous vibe to the Thar off-roader.

With the introduction of the new Deep Forest option, Mahindra Thar’s colour palette now has six choices, including Red Rage, Deep Grey, Everest White, Stealth Black, and Dessert Fury. The latter is limited to the Thar Earth Edition.
