Two color options are available: Tango Red and Battleship Grey.

New pillar-mounted grab handles ease cabin entry. Power window switches are located on the door panels. Features such as the steering wheel, a 10.25-inch touchscreen unit with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a sliding front armrest, and rear AC vents have been carried over from the larger Thar Roxx. The touchscreen also displays adventure stats, including altitude, bank angle, pitch, and yaw angle.

The new Thar maintains the same engine-transmission options, suspension setup, and drivetrain as before. There are three engine choices: a 1.5-liter diesel, a 2.2-liter diesel, and a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol. Gearbox choices include a 6-speed manual (MT) and a 6-speed automatic (AT).
