2026 Mahindra Thar Roxx Spotted on Test Run Ahead of India Launch
Mahindra rolled out the first major update for the current-generation Thar in October 2025, bringing subtle exterior tweaks along with a few feature upgrades. The three-door SUV was expected to adopt design cues from the Thar Roxx, which is positioned a rung above, but it didn’t happen. Although a recently spotted test mule wearing partial camouflage now hints that these updates could arrive with another refresh for the Mahindra Thar, the launch timeline is unclear at the moment.
