Showing 15 of 15 variants
The bare-bones Thar: dual airbags, ESC and hill descent, but no screen and no speakers. Hard top only, RWD diesel only.
The Thar most people mean: 10.25in touchscreen, reverse camera, cruise and 18in alloys, with every engine and the 4WD hardware on offer. Hard top only since the convertible was dropped in April 2025.
The one to have if you want the safety kit: six airbags and disc brakes on all four wheels, plus 19in alloys, LED headlamps and the softer-riding dampers. The step up from the same LXT runs from about Rs 50,000 to about Rs 1.3 lakh depending on which engine and gearbox you pick, so it is worth checking your own combination rather than assuming.

Why there is no overall score
Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.

What the Mahindra Thar OG trim names mean
- What do the Mahindra Thar OG trim names mean?
- A trim is a level of equipment, and Mahindra uses 3 names for them on the Thar OG: in its own order they run AXT, LXT and ZXT. The name is not the car, though: LXT alone covers 7 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox rather than in equipment, so the trim you settle on still leaves you a choice. Between them the 15 variants cost ₹10.32L to ₹18.99L, ex-showroom Delhi.
- AXT
- 1st of 3, one variant, ₹10.32L
- LXT
- 2nd of 3, 7 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox, ₹12.99L to ₹18.00L
- ZXT
- 3rd of 3, 7 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox, ₹13.99L to ₹18.99L
How the Mahindra Thar OG is sold, and what each way costs
