Mahindra Thar OG Variant Wise Price

All prices are introductory ex-showroom prices. Mahindra says these prices apply to deliveries until November 30, 2026.

Mahindra Thar OG Variants Explained

The new Thar is offered in AXT, LXT and ZXT trims. This is where things get interesting because each trim has a different role in the range.

Thar OG AXT

The AXT is the entry point to the New Thar Variants. It comes only with the 1.5L diesel engine, a 6 speed manual gearbox and RWD.

It is priced at Rs. 10.32 lakh, making it the only Thar OG variant below Rs. 11 lakh. So, if you mainly want the Thar design and lifestyle SUV experience without 4WD, this is where the range begins.

Thar OG LXT

The LXT sits in the middle and brings much more choice. It gets all three engine options, along with manual and automatic transmissions depending on the engine. You can also choose between RWD and 4WD with the larger petrol and diesel engines.

Some key combinations include:

• 1.5L diesel MT with RWD
• 2.0L petrol AT with RWD
• 2.0L petrol MT with 4WD
• 2.2L diesel MT with 4WD
• 2.2L diesel AT with RWD
• 2.0L petrol AT with 4WD
• 2.2L diesel AT with 4WD

The LXT range starts at Rs. 12.99 lakh and goes up to Rs. 18 lakh.

Thar OG ZXT

The ZXT is the new top trim of the Thar OG range. It also gets all three engines, with several manual, automatic, RWD and 4WD combinations.

The range starts at Rs. 13.99 lakh for the 1.5L diesel MT RWD and goes up to Rs. 18.99 lakh for the 2.2L diesel AT 4WD.

The ZXT also brings some of the Thar OG's more premium equipment. Depending on the configuration, this includes features such as frequency dependent dampers, larger alloy wheels and additional cabin and safety equipment.

New Thar Engine and Drivetrain Options

Mahindra has kept three engine choices for the Thar OG, but the larger petrol and diesel units now produce more power.

The 1.5L diesel remains at 119 PS and 300 Nm. Meanwhile, the 2.0L petrol now produces 162 PS and 330 Nm, while the 2.2L diesel makes 152 PS and 330 Nm.

Here's the catch: not every engine is available with every drivetrain. The 1.5L diesel remains a RWD only option, while the larger petrol and diesel engines give buyers the choice of RWD or 4WD.

What Features Do You Get With the New Thar?

Apart from the revised mechanical setup, the Thar OG also gets changes inside and outside.

Some notable additions include:

• New grille with Thar branding
• LED headlamps with C shaped DRLs
• LED fog lamps with cornering function
• Revised front and rear bumpers
• New R19 alloy wheels
• New LED tail lamps
• Truffle Brown leatherette seats
• Second row armrest with cupholders
• Six airbags
• Front parking sensors
• All four disc brakes
• New terrain modes
• Electronic locking differential

Mahindra has also added Artemis Silver and Jeans Blue to the colour palette, along with the existing shades.

Are Thar OG Variants Same Like Before or Completely Changed?

The New Thar Variants are not exactly the same as before. The familiar AXT and LXT names continue, but Mahindra has added the ZXT as the new top trim.

The bigger change is the powertrain spread. The 1.5L diesel remains available across all three trims, while the 2.0L petrol and 2.2L diesel are reserved for LXT and ZXT. So, the variant structure is still easy to understand, but there is now more choice higher up the range.

For buyers, it broadly works like this:

Conclusion

The Mahindra Thar OG Launch has brought more than a styling update to the three door SUV. Mahindra Thar OG price starts at Rs. 10.32 lakh, while the new range now stretches to Rs. 18.99 lakh.

The three trim levels keep the range fairly easy to understand. Meanwhile, the LXT and ZXT offer several combinations of petrol, diesel, manual, automatic, RWD and 4WD.

For buyers, the biggest thing to remember is simple. The AXT is the entry point, LXT opens up the wider powertrain choices and ZXT sits at the top of the New Thar Variants range.
