General information and overview

The 2025 Mahindra Thar AXT RWD Diesel is a refreshed version of Mahindras iconic three-door SUV, known for its off-road heritage and utilitarian build. It is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine producing 118 PS of power and 300 Nm of torque, paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The AXT variant focuses on essentials, omitting the 4WD option available on higher trims, which positions it as the entry-level Thar for buyers prioritizing price and fuel economy. The facelift brings subtle cosmetic changes, two new colors, and feature upgrades such as improved interiors and updated infotainment, enhancing daily usability without compromising the rugged character. Despite its compact rear cabin and limited luggage space, the Thar stands out with its legendary off-road ability, modern safety features, and strong road presence. It appeals to buyers looking for a lifestyle SUV with a diesel powertrain that is both affordable and true to the Thars adventurous spirit in the Indian market.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Mahindra Thar AXT RWD Diesel impresses as a rugged, no-nonsense SUV best suited for enthusiasts who value classic off-road capability combined with affordability. The 1.5-litre diesel engine paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual and rear-wheel drive keeps things simple, reliable, and fuel-efficient, though it limits traction in tougher terrain compared to 4WD variants. The Thars strong torque delivery and refined diesel clatter enhance the driving experience on both urban roads and light off-roading, but the suspension still feels a bit firm and bouncy, compromising ride comfort somewhat on rough surfaces. The refreshed 2025 model brings subtle cosmetic updates and necessary feature improvements, maintaining its iconic design while addressing some ergonomic issues. However, the limited rear seat access and modest luggage space remain downsides. The Thar AXT RWD Diesel is a compelling pick for buyers who prioritize character, ruggedness, and value over urban SUV luxuries or advanced drivetrains, especially in Indias evolving SUV market.

The Mahindra Thar AXT RWD Diesel is positioned as the entry-level variant of the Thar lineup in India, targeted at buyers seeking core off-road capability without many frills. It features a 1.5-litre turbocharged D117 CRDe diesel engine producing around 118 PS and 300 Nm of torque, paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive setup. This combination gives it a competent yet straightforward driving experience, suitable mainly for urban and light off-road use. The fuel efficiency is claimed to be about 9 to 11 km/l in city and highway conditions respectively, with a fuel tank capacity of 45 litres. The AXT RWD Diesel is priced attractively at around ₹9.99 lakh ex-showroom, making it one of the most affordable ways to own a Thar in India.

Price

Pricing details and changes

The Mahindra Thar AXT RWD Diesel ex-showroom price in India starts at around Rs 9.99 lakh, making it the most affordable variant in the updated 2025 Thar lineup. On-road prices will vary by state due to differing taxes and fees but typically hover between Rs 11.5 to 12.5 lakh depending on registration charges, insurance, and optional accessories. This pricing appeals to buyers looking for a capable, iconic off-roader without stretching their budget into the pricier LXT and 4WD diesel variants. The recent GST rate cut on SUVs has further softened prices, adding to its appeal as an accessible lifestyle vehicle. For buyers wanting the Thar experience with essential features and decent city usability, the AXT RWD diesel strikes a good balance between affordability and ruggedness. However, its limited drivetrain options mean buyers must accept rear-wheel drive only, which may not suit those prioritizing occasional serious off-roading.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The 1.5-litre diesel engine in the Thar AXT RWD offers a commendable fuel efficiency for its class, typically delivering around 16-18 kml under mixed driving conditions in India. This makes it a practical choice for users concerned about running costs and mileage, as diesel fuel also tends to be more economical in India. The manual transmission complements fuel efficiency by allowing better control, especially in city and highway use. If you prioritize mileage alongside rugged utility, this variant offers a balanced compromise.
