Mahindra Thar, XUV700 Facelift: Mahindra isn’t just tweaking the dials—it’s spinning the style wheel all the way around. Both the Thar and the XUV700, two of India’s SUV darlings, are scheduled for a facelift in 2026. And no, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill chrome polish and a new badge kind of update. We’re talking full-blown SUV glow-ups. Thar Facelift The new 3-door Thar (code-named W515) is borrowing a page straight out of the Thar Roxx’s playbook. Expect C-shaped LED headlamps that look like they’re perpetually raising an eyebrow, a meaner grille with stacked slots, and fresh bumpers that scream off-road swagger. Plus, new alloys to keep things rolling in style. Inside? It’s getting a glow-up too. A bigger touchscreen, new steering wheel, rearranged controls (because why not shake things up), and maybe—just maybe—a sunroof on the hard-top variants. Because nothing says “rugged yet refined” like sunlight on your dashboard. XUV700 Facelift Codenamed W616, the XUV700 facelift is reportedly sipping design juice from Mahindra’s futuristic EVs, the BE 6 and XEV 9e. That means sharper lines, LED-connected headlamps, and squared-off cladding that looks like it could bounce moon rocks. Inside, tech upgrades will likely be front and center—think bigger screens, smarter features, and a sprinkle of spaceship vibes. Under the hood? Business as usual. Both SUVs will retain their current engine options. No shocking surprises here—just reliable performance wrapped in a shinier, bolder package. So, if you thought facelifts were just vanity projects, Mahindra’s about to prove otherwise. Come 2026, the Thar and XUV700 won’t just be back—they’ll be back in style.
