Mahindra is now preparing to introduce the Thar in a new and extremely powerful avatar. The company’s new model, the Mahindra Thar Diesel Hybrid, is generating a lot of buzz in the market because it will offer a hybrid powertrain alongside a diesel engine for the first time. According to reports, this Thar will not only offer higher mileage than before but will also strengthen its rugged off-road capabilities. The biggest attraction is its 24kmpl mileage, which is considered a major change in the off-road SUV category.

Design and Look
The Thar Diesel Hybrid’s exterior has been made more muscular while retaining the Thar’s iconic look. It features a new LED light pack, wider fender lines, and a refreshed grille. The hybrid variant also features distinctive styling elements like a Green Hybrid Badge, a black-matte roof, and new alloy wheel options. Inside, the cabin features premium materials, a dark-themed interior, and an updated touchscreen infotainment system, giving the SUV a more modern look.
Mileage and Performance
The Mahindra Thar Diesel Hybrid is expected to feature a 48V mild hybrid system with either a 1.5L or 2.2L diesel engine. This system reduces engine load and makes fuel use more efficient. This technology will allow the SUV to deliver a mileage of approximately 24 km/h, which is impressive for a heavy off-road SUV like the Thar.
The hybrid powertrain increases low-end torque, making off-roading easier. Furthermore, the Thar’s 4X4 system, locking differential, and robust suspension make this model capable of handling any terrain.
Interior – Luxury now, previously only ruggedness.
Sitting inside the old Thar felt like driving a tractor. Now, in 2025, Mahindra has listened. A new 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, a 360-degree camera, automatic climate control, cruise control, wireless charging, premium leather seats (water-washable), rear AC vents – it’s all here. The dashboard is now in a black and brown dual-tone, which feels very premium.
The best part – even the rear seats are spacious. Previously, rear passengers would cry, now they laugh. Boot space has also been increased. The hybrid battery has raised the floor a bit, but Mahindra has been so smart that the boot still holds up to 600 liters of luggage. The sound system is now a 9-speaker Harman, which makes it fun even in the jungle.
Features and Technology
The Thar Diesel Hybrid will be offered with updated features. It is expected to include a 10.25-inch touchscreen system, wireless connectivity, a digital instrument cluster, and connected-car technology. For safety, it will also include advanced safety systems like six airbags, ESC, Roll Stability Control, and rear differential lock.
The hybrid system will feature advanced technologies like Auto Start-Stop, Battery Boost Mode, and Engine Assist Acceleration, making the Thar a smoother and more fuel-efficient drive.
Pricing and Launch Details
The Mahindra Thar Diesel Hybrid is expected to start at a price between ₹12 lakh and ₹14 lakh. The company plans to launch it in 2026. Upon launch, this SUV will be particularly attractive to customers who like the Thar but want better mileage and lower running costs.
Conclusion
The Mahindra Thar Diesel Hybrid 2025 is the car that will take you to the office in the morning, to the mall in the evening, and to Ladakh at night. It’s not just an SUV, it’s a companion that understands that life isn’t just in the city, it’s also about life outside. If you have adventure in your blood and wisdom in your head, this car is made for you.
