As of my last update in October 2023, there is no official confirmation or detailed information about the Thar EV (Electric Vehicle) from Mahindra. However, based on industry trends and Mahindra’s announcements, here’s what we can speculate:
When is it going to come?
Mahindra has been actively working on electric vehicles, and the Thar EV is likely to be part of their future lineup.
It could be launched by 2025 or later, as Mahindra is currently focusing on other electric SUVs like the XUV400 and the upcoming Born Electric range (e.g., XUV.e8, XUV.e9).
How is it going to look?
- The Thar EV is expected to retain the iconic, rugged, and boxy design of the current Thar, but with some EV-specific tweaks:
A closed-off grille (common in EVs for aerodynamics).
Sleeker LED lighting and modern touches.
Unique badging or design elements to differentiate it from the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) version.
What features is it going to have?
- Performance:
Dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup for off-road capability.
High torque output for better off-roading and acceleration.
Expected range: 300-400 km on a single charge (depending on battery size).
Battery & Charging:
Lithium-ion battery pack (likely 60-80 kWh).
Fast charging capability (0-80% in 30-40 minutes).
Off-road Features:
Retainable 4×4 capability with electric motors.
Hill descent control, terrain modes, and waterproofing for wading.
Interior & Tech:
Modern infotainment system with touchscreen.
Connected car features (via Mahindra’s AdrenoX platform).
Premium upholstery and EV-specific displays.
At what pricing can it come?
The Thar EV is likely to be positioned as a premium offering due to its off-road capabilities and EV technology.
Expected price range: ₹25-35 lakhs (ex-showroom), depending on the variant and battery size.
Key Challenges: Mahindra Thar electric version
Balancing off-road capability with EV range and weight.
Competing with other electric SUVs in the market.
Ensuring affordability while maintaining the Thar’s rugged appeal.
