As mentioned earlier, several prototypes of the Mahindra Thar 3-door have been spied so far. While the previous test mules were spied with a grille that resembles that of Mahindra Thar Roxx, the recently spied prototype was spied with a 5-slot grille with an extended horizontal piece on the left side, which might be used as a badge. This suggests that the upcoming Thar 3-door will be offered in two different editions. The recently spied test mule was also running on a new 5-spoke alloy wheel design.
