After replacing the XUV 700 with the XUV 7XO in January, Mahindra to introduce a major facelift for two more hot-selling models this year
With demand for rugged SUVs on the rise, the body-on-frame Mahindra Thar and Mahindra Scorpio-N have become top picks among enthusiasts. Mahindra is planning a facelift for both models this year to keep the momentum going and further elevate their appeal.
Between the two, the Mahindra Scorpio-N, which was launched in June 2022, will be the first SUV to get an update this year. The facelifted version of the Scorpio-N may have a new radiator grille, a new lower air intake, and a new front bumper, aimed at creating a more powerful and confidence-inspiring look.
Redesigned headlamps, new 18-inch alloy wheels, and tweaked tail lamps could also be among the exterior changes on the Scorpio-N. Mahindra may introduce a new paint option as well. Inside, changes could be limited to a new colour scheme and a few new or upgraded features, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. No changes are expected to the engines or transmissions with this update.

As for the second-generation Thar, originally launched in August 2020, Mahindra already gave it a small update in October last year. However, while that update was largely focused on the interior, the upcoming refresh will likely be more about the exterior. Mahindra is unlikely to roll out any mechanical changes with the facelift, though.
The new Mahindra Thar will have a more upmarket front, while carrying over the familiar brawny character. Spy shots have revealed that the latest look will be derived from the larger Thar Roxx, meaning it would have a six-double-slot grille flanked by LED headlights featuring LED C-shaped daytime running lights. Larger, 19-inch alloy wheels could also be in the tow, although smaller wheels would also be offered, aimed at off-road adventurers.

Although the previous update brought considerable improvements on the inside, the Mahindra Thar still has plenty of room for enhancements. Key features such as passive keyless entry, push-button start/stop, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, a wireless smartphone charger, and ventilated front seats remain missing. Mahindra may introduce some of them, if not all, with the facelift this year. The company will likely launch the new Thar sometime between July and September.
