The Mahindra Thar has stayed one of India’s most photographed SUVs, not because it competes on features, but because its silhouette is instantly recognisable and its cabin is built for use rather than show.
Explore the latest Mahindra Thar images to get a complete visual overview of the SUV’s design, cabin, and styling. This image gallery covers the current 3-door Thar in its latest updated form. The key highlights are the body-coloured front grille, the redesigned dashboard with a larger touchscreen, the four-seat layout, and all the colour options available.
The images feature the model offered with the 2.0-litre mStallion turbo petrol, the 1.5-litre D117 CRDe diesel and the 2.2-litre mHawk 130 CRDe diesel. This update brought a body-coloured grille, a new 10.25-inch touchscreen and washable interiors compared to the version that came before it.
Mahindra Thar Exterior Images
The Thar’s exterior is built around a shape Mahindra has deliberately left alone, because the boxy proportions are the product. At 3985 mm long, 1820 mm wide and 1844 mm tall on a 2450 mm wheelbase, it sits inside the sub-4-metre bracket while standing taller than almost anything else in that space, which is what gives the exterior shots their upright, planted look.
Key Highlights
| Features | Details | Availability |
| Front grille | Body-coloured with six vertical slats | All variants |
| Drive type | 2WD or 4WD depending on variant | Varies by variant |
| ORVMs | Electrically adjustable | Higher variants |
| Roof | Fixed hard top | All variants |
| Body height | 1844 mm on 4WD, 1850 mm on 2WD | Varies by drivetrain |
Front Profile
The Thar’s front is defined by the body-coloured grille with its six vertical slats, flanked by round headlamps that carry the design straight back to the original. A high, flat bonnet line and squared-off wheel arches sit above a bumper designed for approach angle rather than aerodynamics, which is visible in any straight-on shot.
Side Profile
The side profile shows the short 2450 mm wheelbase and the near-vertical windscreen that define the Thar’s stance. The three-door layout means one long door on each side, and the images make clear how much the flat sides and exposed hinges contribute to the look. Higher variants get alloy wheels and electrically adjustable mirrors.
Rear Profile
At the rear, the Thar carries a side-hinged tailgate with the spare wheel mounted on it, vertical tail lamp clusters set into the corners, and a high loading lip. The spare wheel placement is worth noting in the images, because it affects how the tailgate swings and how much room you need behind the vehicle to open it.

Mahindra Thar Interior Images
The Thar’s interior is built around a principle most SUVs abandon, which is that a cabin should survive being hosed down. Mahindra lists washable interiors as a headline feature, and the drain plugs, hard-wearing surfaces and exposed roll cage members are all visible in the interior shots. The layout is functional, with a physical HVAC switch bank sitting below the touchscreen.
Key Highlights
| Features | Details | Availability |
| Infotainment | 10.25 inch HD touchscreen | Higher variants |
| Instrument cluster | TFT multi-information display | Higher variants |
| Rear seats | 50:50 split bench | All variants |
| Roll cage | Built-in interior roll cage | All variants |
| Speakers | Roof-mounted | Higher variants |
Dashboard and Front Seats
The Thar’s dashboard carries a 10.25 inch HD touchscreen with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and USB connectivity, paired with a TFT multi-information display in the cluster. Below it sits a physical HVAC switch bank. The front seats are contoured for lateral support, and higher variants add cruise control, steering-mounted audio and phone controls, and an always-on tyre monitoring display.
Rear Seats
The Thar is a four-seater, with a 50:50 split rear bench rather than a full-width one. The split lets you fold one side for cargo while keeping a seat usable, which is the practical answer to a three-door layout. ISOFIX child seat mounts are fitted, and the interior roll cage members are visible around the rear occupants.
Boot and Loading
Behind the rear seats, luggage room is limited by the short 2450 mm wheelbase, which is why the 50:50 split bench matters more here than in a larger SUV. Mahindra does not publish a boot volume figure for the 3-door Thar, so the images are the better guide to what will actually fit.
Mahindra Thar Colour Options
The Thar is available in six body colours, weighted towards muted, outdoor-appropriate shades rather than bright ones. The palette suits the vehicle’s positioning, with two greys, a deep green and a single red as the only strong colour in the range.
| Colour Name | Type | Availability by Variant |
| Everest White | Solid | Listed for the range |
| Stealth Black | Solid | Listed for the range |
| Galaxy Grey | Metallic | Listed for the range |
| Battleship Grey | Metallic | Listed for the range |
| Deep Forest | Metallic | Listed for the range |
| Tango Red | Metallic | Listed for the range |

Summary
The gallery shows what the Thar is actually selling, which is a shape and a capability set rather than a feature list. The body-coloured grille, round headlamps, tailgate-mounted spare and squared arches carry the exterior, while the washable cabin, 10.25 inch touchscreen, HVAC switch bank and visible roll cage explain why the interior looks unlike anything else at this price.
It is to be noted that the Thar is a four-seat three-door SUV, so images can undersell how much the single long door and short wheelbase affect daily use. Colours also read very differently outdoors, and rear seat access and boot space are things you can only judge by getting in.
If you’re considering a used Thar, you can browse inspected, fixed-price options on Spinny and book a test drive to see how the actual vehicle feels and compare it with what you’ve seen in the Thar images.
