What it costs to run

Fuel only — change any figure to your own

Prices are Delhi's, read 2026-11-04. Fuel duty is set per state, so they are the state's figure rather than Delhi's.

Fuel only. It does not price servicing, insurance, tyres or what the Mahindra Thar OG is worth when you sell it — a diesel usually costs more to maintain, and we publish no figure for that rather than estimate one. 7 of these variants have no certified efficiency, so type your own to see a cost.

What this car's data leaves out

All 15 variants Mahindra prices, in both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive. Mahindra publishes no certified efficiency figure for this car, so none is shown.

Data notes — where these figures come from

Drivetrain is modelled for the first time on this car: powertrainKey now carries it, so a rear-wheel-drive variant is never laddered against its four-wheel-drive twin — the ZXT 2.2 diesel automatic is ₹17,49,000 in RWD and ₹18,99,000 in 4WD and the difference is a transfer case, not equipment. Terrain modes are credited only on 4WD, which is how the brochure marks them; the 'Zip and Zoom' drive modes are marked 'Only in RWD of 2.2L mHawk & 2L mStallion' and are credited only there. Under-credited rather than guessed: the brochure lists 'HVAC' without calling it automatic climate control; 'Adventure Statistics Gen II' is not clearly the connected-car suite the registry prices, so connected car technology is credited nowhere; the rear seat is a 50:50 split, not the 60:40 the registry prices; the steering tilts but does not telescope; and the AXT's R18 wheels are steel with no cover listed. The ZXT's R19 alloys are credited at the 18-inch tier, the nearest rung at or below. Electronic locking differential, front axle driveline disconnect, washable floor with drain plugs, roll cage and brake locking differential are real four-wheel-drive hardware the registry has no entry for, so none of it earns anything. SEATS (10 Oct 2026): 4, from every variant card on Mahindra's own THRN model page ('4 Seater'). EFFICIENCY (12 Oct 2026): none stored. Mahindra publishes no certified efficiency for the Thar OG, on its model page or in its brochure. REVERSING CAMERA (re-read 29 Oct 2026): the maker describes the camera without saying its guidelines move with the steering, so the camera entry (moving guidelines) is not credited.
