Mahindra Thar OG variants, features and all prices explained

Mahindra Thar OG variants, features and all prices explained

Mahindra Thar OG is the new three-door SUV that replaces the previous Thar in India, with a revised three-variant range and major mechanical changes. The lineup brings the AXT, LXT and ZXT variants, while Mahindra has also introduced more powerful engines and significant chassis changes.

Mahindra Thar OG variants

The new Thar OG is available in three variants: AXT, LXT and ZXT. This gives buyers three equipment levels to choose from rather than carrying forward the previous model’s variant structure.

The AXT, LXT and ZXT names are the key differences in the new range. The available information confirms the three-variant lineup, but does not provide a complete feature-by-feature equipment list for each variant.

Thar OG price and positioning

Mahindra introduced the Thar OG with an introductory price starting at Rs. 10.32 lakh (ex-showroom). The reported starting price applies to the range, while the individual prices for the AXT, LXT and ZXT variants are not specified in the available information.

For buyers comparing the new SUV with the outgoing Thar, the important change is that this is a replacement model rather than a minor update. The three-door format continues, but the mechanical package has been revised.

What changes on the Thar OG

  • Mahindra Thar OG gets a three-variant AXT, LXT and ZXT lineup.
  • The new model replaces the previous three-door Thar in India.
  • Mahindra has introduced more powerful engines for the new range.
  • Major chassis changes are part of the new Thar OG package.

Should you consider the new Thar OG?

The Thar OG is aimed at buyers looking at Mahindra’s new three-door SUV and wanting the latest version rather than the outgoing model. The starting price of Rs. 10.32 lakh (ex-showroom) gives the range a clear entry point, while the three variants provide different equipment levels.

The available details do not establish the exact features or prices of each variant, so buyers should check the variant-specific equipment and final pricing before making a purchase decision.

TT Score

7/10

A relatively strong-value SUV on the supplied data, with a ₹10.32 lakh entry price, available petrol and diesel powertrains, and both RWD and 4WD options, but its 4-seat, 3-door layout limits everyday practicality.

Who it suits

  • Budget-conscious SUV buyer — The ₹10.32 lakh starting ex-showroom price and roughly ₹11.56–₹12.28 lakh estimated entry-level on-road cost across the listed states keep the entry point comparatively accessible.
  • Buyer wanting drivetrain choice — The range includes petrol and diesel engines plus manual and automatic transmissions and both RWD and 4WD configurations.
  • Buyer prioritising compact passenger cap — The 4-seat, 3-door layout can suit someone who does not need frequent access for more than four occupants.

Worth knowing

  • · The 3-door, 4-seat configuration limits passenger-access and everyday practicality compared with larger multi-door SUVs.
  • · The price rises to ₹18.99 lakh ex-showroom at the top end, a substantial increase over the ₹10.32 lakh entry price.
  • · No fuel-economy figures or owner-rating data were supplied, so running-cost and ownership scores are omitted rather than guessed.
