The Mahindra Thar has received a 4-star safety rating from Global NCAP for both adult and child occupant protection (3-door model). The newer 5-door Thar Roxx variant has achieved an even higher 5-star rating from Bharat NCAP.

The Mahindra Thar provides a ground clearance of 226 mm (unladen) across its variants, including both the 3-door model and the newer 5-door version. This high clearance makes it well-suited for tackling rough terrain and off-road conditions.

Yes, a sunroof is available in the Mahindra Thar lineup, but only on the 5-door Thar Roxx in higher variants, where it comes as a panoramic unit. The standard 3-door Thar does not include a sunroof and instead offers hardtop or soft-top options.

The standard Mahindra Thar is a 4-seater SUV with two seats in the front and a rear bench for two passengers. The newer Thar Roxx version, however, is available as a 5-seater.

The number of airbags in the Mahindra Thar varies by model. The standard 3-door version is equipped with 2 airbags, while the newer 5-door Thar Roxx offers 6 airbags as standard across all variants.

The Mahindra Thar offers different boot capacities depending on the model. The 5-door Thar Roxx provides a spacious 644 litres of boot space, while the 3-door version has a smaller and less practical cargo area behind the rear seats.

The Mahindra Thar delivers fuel efficiency ranging from around 8 kmpl to 15 kmpl, depending on the engine and transmission. Diesel manual variants are the most efficient, offering up to about 15 kmpl, while petrol automatic versions typically return lower mileage. In real-world conditions, petrol models average around 7–10 kmpl, while diesel variants deliver approximately 10–13 kmpl.
