Mahindra launched the 3-door Thar OG in India with a revised body-on-frame, updated suspension, new styling from the Thar Roxx and multiple engine and drivetrain options. Prices start at Rs 10.32 lakh (ex-showroom).
New chassis and suspension: M_Glyde 4G platform, Watts linkage and Da Vinci dampers on a body-on-frame.
Three engine choices: 1.5L diesel (119 bhp/300 Nm), 2.2L diesel (152 bhp/330 Nm) and 2.0L turbo petrol (162 bhp/330 Nm) with 6-speed manuals standard and a 6-speed torque-converter automatic on the 2.2L diesel and 2.0T petrol.
Interior upgrades include Truffle Brown leatherette, second-row armrest, improved NVH and retained connectivity and safety kit (wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, 6 airbags, ESP).
# What changed with the Thar OG
Mahindra has introduced the 2026 Thar OG — a refreshed 3-door Thar that combines cosmetic changes inspired by the Thar Roxx with mechanical updates to the chassis and suspension. The model is built on Mahindra's M_Glyde 4G platform and uses a body-on-frame layout.
# Prices and variant spread
Ex-showroom prices listed at launch span a broad range, reflecting drivetrain and transmission choices:
# Styling and exterior updates
# Interior and equipment
Safety features list is comprehensive for the segment: six airbags (described as a 4-head pelvis thorax shoulder arrangement), electronic stability program (ESP), hill-hold control, traction control, vehicle dynamics control and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
# Powertrains and drivetrains
A 6-speed manual gearbox is standard across the range. A 6-speed torque-converter automatic is offered with the 2.2-litre diesel and the 2.0-litre turbo petrol. Buyers can choose between RWD and AWD options depending on variant.
# Chassis and suspension
Mahindra updated the chassis and suspension to improve ride quality. The Thar OG uses a Watts linkage and Da Vinci dampers on a body-on-frame for the first time. This revised suspension is paired with the M_Glyde 4G platform, which also underpins the Thar Roxx.
# How this matters to buyers
If you want a compact, lifestyle off-roader with refreshed styling, multiple powertrain options and improved ride setup, the Thar OG delivers those updates without removing the core Thar features (connectivity, basic safety equipment and a choice of RWD/AWD). The launch pricing covers entry-level diesel to fully equipped 4WD automatic variants, giving a range of choices for different budgets and use cases.
