Bigger than before:

Obvious from the countless spy images seen till date. The new-gen Thar has a wider, bolder stance with more prominent wheel arches and taller height. It looks slightly bigger than the model it replaces and that should make it a more aggressive looking SUV. Unlike the previous model, this time Mahindra will launch the Thar in both soft as well as hard roof top options.

Front facing rear seats:

The new-gen Thar will feature a safer and more comfortable front facing second row unlike its predecessor. This update will make world of a difference to the passengers in the second row.
