Mahindra Thar Sports – New Small SUV Launching on August 15

Mahindra will unveil 4 new concept vehicles and a brand-new compact SUV on August 15, 2025. This SUV will also introduce Mahindra’s new front-wheel-drive NU platform. While many thought it might be the next-gen Bolero, reports suggest it will be called Mahindra Thar Sports.

The Thar Sports will be built on a modern monocoque platform, offering better comfort, safety, and refinement compared to the traditional ladder-frame Thar models. Its design will be inspired by the Thar-e electric SUV concept and will have rugged styling like the Scorpio-N and Bolero.
