He first shows the front end of the SUV and mentions the differences between the higher-spec variants and this variant. The new Thar three-door gets the same front grille as before, but it is now painted in gloss black color. It also gets the same halogen headlights, and being the base variant, it misses out on the fog lights.
Apart from these, the base variant also gets halogen-based turn indicators as well. Following this, he then moves to the side profile of the Thar three-door and mentions that it gets 16-inch silver steel wheels. It also gets tubular metal sliders/footsteps instead of the black footsteps that the higher variants get. Apart from this, it looks the same as the previous model.
As for the rear, the vlogger mentions that it now gets a rear defogger, and higher variants also get a rear wiper and washer setup as well. Apart from this, the new and more expensive variants get a rear camera placed on the spare wheel mount as well, but the base trim only gets two rear parking sensors. He also shows the fuel filler cap, which now does not get a keyhole as it is electronically operated.
Interior Updates
As for the interior, the host mentions that the new base variant also gets updated door pads with power window switches on them. However, it misses out on the joystick for ORVM control. Additionally, the SUV also gets a new Thar ROXX, XUV700, and Scorpio-N-like steering wheel but does not get any controls on it.
The newly updated top-of-the-line variants also get a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. However, the base variant does not get any infotainment system.
