Mahindra Thar OG 2026 Review Highlights Updates and Off-Road Performance
Mahindra's 2026 Thar OG update enhances its off-road capability and on-road comfort with features like electric power steering, a wider track, and improved suspension. Visual upgrades include a new grille, LED lighting, and 19-inch alloys. Engine options range from a fuel-efficient 1.5-litre diesel to powerful 2.2-litre diesel and 2.0-litre petrol variants. While the SUV remains rugged and capable in desert terrain, some traditional body-on-frame traits cause noticeable suspension noise on rough roads and wind noise at higher speeds.
