The Thar.e concept, riding on its elevated Baja-style suspension, appears to boast significant ground clearance and wheel travel.
Mahindra is currently undergoing a transformative journey, and a crucial aspect of this transformation includes the creation of a completely fresh stylesheet.
The rear portion of the concept has been darkened to create a more compact appearance. From this angle, you can distinctly observe the broad track, with the wheels extending beyond the vehicle's main body line.
The battery used will be common with other INGLO SUVs with the 60kWh being the most likely one.
The upright silhouette, angular dimensions, and particularly the squared-off fenders contribute to its rugged, off-road-ready appearance.
The crisp, geometric surfaces embody the robust 'explore the impossible' ethos, while innovative features like near-vertical windows maximize space and create a commanding presence.
Similar styling cues have also been used on the Land Rover and the early Land Cruisers.
With fabrics made of 50% recycled PET and a commitment to uncoated recyclable plastics, Thar.e aligns with a philosophy where simplicity serves sustainability.
The redesigned front of the Thar showcases a set of segmented square headlight units, nestled within a rectangular "grille" featuring three LED 'slat' elements on one side. This bold look is complemented by a robust, substantial front bumper.
The Thar EV won't utilize a ladder-frame chassis, as seen in the current Thar. Instead, it will adopt a modified iteration of Mahindra's innovative INGLO dedicated EV platform, referred to as the P1.
Inside the Thar.e concept, you'll find a sleek, flat dashboard with grab handles at both ends. The minimalist yet rugged aesthetic is enhanced by a flat three-spoke steering wheel, a central touchscreen, and a prominent central tunnel.
Unlike its INGLO stablemates, the Thar doesn't feature an abundance of touchscreen interfaces, but it does sport a fighter aircraft-inspired live 'status' pictogram on the instrument panel.
