2025 Mahindra Thar Facelift Key Features Explained

Mahindra Thar has always been popular in the Indian market; it's not just an SUV but is now being associated with lifestyle and status symbol.

So, what does this new facelift have on offer? Let's find out in this article.

Internally Opening Fuel Lid

One of the most useful new features for Thar owners addresses a small but practical issue. Earlier, to refuel the Thar, you had to step out and manually open the fuel lid with a key. With the 2025 facelift, Mahindra has addressed this inconvenience by adding an electronic fuel lid release button inside the cabin.

Competitors with Same feature

• Both the rivals, the Maruti Jimny and Force Gurkha, come with an internally operated fuel lid.

Rear AC vents & Sliding Front Armrest

Another thoughtful addition in the 2025 Mahindra Thar facelift is the Rear AC vents and a sliding front armrest. The rear AC vents finally make the cabin more comfortable for backseat passengers, ensuring better airflow and cooling throughout. Meanwhile, the sliding front armrest adds to the driver and co-passenger's comfort, offering improved ergonomics and extra convenience during long drives.

Competitors With Same feature

• Maruti Jimny misses out on both the front armrest and the rear AC vents as well.
• The Force Gurkha, on the other hand, offers two individual armrests for both front passengers.

Power Window Switches On Door Handles

Competitors With Same feature

• Maruti Suzuki Jimny offers power window switches in the centre console itself.
• The Force Gurkha also offers the power window switches in the centre console.

Rear View camera

This feature greatly enhances convenience and safety, especially for those who frequently take their Thar on long drives or off-road adventures.

The 2025 Thar facelift now comes with a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, replacing the older 7-inch unit. The new display offers better integration with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
