Mahindra has given its Thar 3 door a comprehensive update and also added the OG name. The new Thar 3 door OG gets a new platform and new suspension plus finally electric power steering. Prices start at Rs 10.3 lakh. Off-road enthusiasts will like the fact that it is still a ladder frame SUV. Design wise there is more muscle added to the Thar and it's closer to the Roxx now here with new headlamps and new bumpers. It looks much more premium too.

There are also bigger 19 inch wheels and new colours on offer. Inside, there is a new upholstery, cupholders and a new front camera. The new Thar OG would be quieter now and has better braking. Crucially there is now the M Glyde suspension and Davinci Dampers seen on the larger Mahindra cars. This means expect better ride quality and a new driving experience. There is also FDD or frequency dependent damping.
