The teaser suggests it could preview a closer-to-production electric version of the legendary off-roader, blending Mahindra's off-road DNA with cutting-edge electric vehicle technology.

The concept of the Thar.e was unveiled at Mahindra's Futurescape event in Cape Town, South Africa on 15 August, 2023. The event also saw the unveiling of the global tractor brand OJA and the Scorpio-N based pickup truck.
The Mahindra Thar.e stands out as a distinctive SUV, featuring modular components that can be swapped or adapted as needed, allowing it to transform from a rugged off-roader into a more urban-friendly vehicle in theory. Although it strongly resembles a concept car, it carries signature Thar family elements, such as squircle-shaped headlamps with LED DRLs and a vertically slatted front that echoes the Thar's iconic grille. The SUV rides on the INGLO platform, introduced last year, but for the Thar.e, it has been specially modified and is known as the INGLO P1.The Thar.e sports sharp, geometric body panels that lend it both a futuristic look and off-road capability. It's equipped with large off-road wheels, short overhangs, and spacious wheel arches, and distinguishes itself from the current-generation Thar with its five-door configuration. Inside, the cabin is designed to be minimalist yet practical, featuring straight lines complemented by grab handles, a smartly positioned rotating display, and an uncluttered layout.
While the Thar.e is still in development, Mahindra has revealed that its wheelbase will range between 2,775mm and 2,975mm. The SUV is expected to offer a ground clearance of 250mm to 300mm, with a front overhang measuring between 640mm and 680mm, and a rear overhang ranging from 640mm to 740mm. Although specific powertrain details are yet to be disclosed, the Thar.e will feature a dual-motor setup with identical motors at each axle. More information will be shared closer to the debut of the production-ready model.Could this be the much-awaited AWD platform?
