Mahindra Thar EV

The Mahindra Thar EV could become the first electric off-roader in the mainstream car market. Equipped with an all-electric powertrain, the Thar EV was showcased as the Thar.e concept at Mahindra's Futurescape event in Cape Town, South Africa.

The Thar EV will feature a four-wheel-drive (4WD) setup, an advanced battery pack, and an off-road-focused electric powertrain. With a boxy yet futuristic design, the Thar EV will have LED lighting, a modernized interior, a digital driver display, and a large infotainment system. Built on Mahindra’s INGLO platform, the Mahindra Thar EV will compete with upcoming electric off-roaders. The SUV is expected to launch in late 2025, and should appeal to eco-conscious off-road enthusiasts.
