The new Mahindra Thar.e will be based on the Indian automaker's INGLO-P1 EV platform. The platform will ensure a large battery pack for the SUV while keeping it light weight. The Thar.e will have an increased ground clearance and all-wheel drive capabilities. Mahindra revealed that the Thar.e electric concept SUV's wheelbase will range from 2,776 mm to 2,976 mm, with a ground clearance of roughly 300 mm.

The Thar.e stands apart visibly from the ongoing Thar SUVs offered on the Indian market in terms of appearance. The grille has LED bars that are reminiscent of the automaker's signature slat pattern, and the front end features revised LED headlamps with a square form. Notably, the concept EV has a strong front bumper and conspicuous Thar.e badging on the blacked-out grille. Additionally, the vehicle is mounted on sizable all-terrain wheels.
Mahindra has kept quiet on the exact details of the battery capacity or estimated range of the next electric SUV. Likewise, the automaker has not yet specified a debut date. However, based on industry predictions, Thar electric SUV production might start as early as 2025.
