Earth Edition of Thar is available in four variants (all 4×4) in the price range of Rs 15.40 lakh to Rs 17.60 lakh
Mahindra recently introduced the Thar Earth Edition, as a tribute to the mighty Thar Desert. The SUV and the desert connect beyond names, as each has multiple unique characteristics that are difficult to find elsewhere. With the Earth Edition, Thar now has a total of 5 colour options.
Thar Earth Edition – What’s Unique?
Available in a brand-new Satin Matte Desert Fury colour shade, Thar Earth Edition exudes power and influence. The earthen colour also ensures a sense of being strongly rooted to the ground. The matte finish complements the new colour, as it further enhances the overall look and feel.
Thar Earth edition gets exclusive dune-inspired decals on the sides, which make the SUV a lot more likable. The dune-shaped decals depict a special quality of Thar Desert, where sand dunes are constantly changing and can reach up to 150 meters (490 feet) in height.

There are some other unique aspects to Thar Earth Edition. For example, the vertical slats on the grille are done in the Desert Fury colour shade. In comparison, other colour variants have the slats in black finish. Desert Fury colour accents have been applied on the alloy wheels and rear-view mirrors as well. Furthermore, there’s exclusive Earth Edition badging on the B pillars. At the rear, there aren’t any unique changes to the Earth Edition.
Thar Earth Edition interiors
On the inside, the Satin Matte Desert Fury colour has been used as accents on the AC vents, steering wheel and front doors. These accents are used in combination with chrome accents, which creates an exciting contrast. Thar Earth Edition gets beige and black leatherette seats with unique badging and dune patterns. The beige shade is a close match to the exterior Desert Fury colour. The second row is largely the same as other standard variants of Thar. As for the features, they are the same as available with the standard model.
