This is the same placement as the Thar ROXX, which is the Thar’s more practical five-door version. The rest of the exterior looks the same as the current model.
Interior upgrades
The interior of the new 2025 Thar is where the most changes have taken place. The SUV now gets new Thar ROXX-like door cards, and the window controls have been moved from the centre to the doors. There is also a new grab handle on the A-pillar. Coming to the main highlights, the biggest change is the new Thar ROXX/Scorpio-N/XUV700-style steering wheel.
