Exterior And Colour
The Thar Earth Edition stands out with its unique Desert Fury exterior colour, a matte beige hue. In contrast to the standard Thar's colour options of Red Rage, Galaxy Grey, Napoli Black, and Everest White, this edition adds exclusivity.
It features standard body decals, customizable in the regular Thar with a different design. Additionally, Desert Fury-colored inserts and dedicated styling details further distinguish this special edition.

Earth Edition Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) plates
Mahindra is offering a special VIN plate for each Thar Earth Edition SUV. These plates will be uniquely numbered and serve as decorative additions to the vehicle. Every plate will have a serial number, starting from 1.

Accessories designed for the regular Thar can also be incorporated into the Earth Thar, albeit with a distinct colour palette.
Powertrain Options
The Earth Edition of the Thar offers two engine options: a 150 PS 2-litre turbo-petrol and a 130 PS 2.2-litre diesel, with no 1.5-litre diesel choice like the standard Thar.
Both editions have a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. Unlike the standard Thar, the Earth Edition only comes with four-wheel-drive, while the LX variants offer rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive options.
Verdict
The Earth Edition elevates the Thar, giving it an extra touch of luxury and style for those who want an exceptional off-road adventure. However, sticking with the LX versions of the regular Thar still gives you strong performance and flexibility.
