The Mahindra Thar is expected to borrow some features from the Thar Roxx, while the Scorpio and XUV700 are also likely to receive significant feature updates
Mahindra recently confirmed that it will bring model year updates to three of its popular SUVs – Mahindra Thar, Mahindra Scorpio N, and Mahindra XUV700 – in 2025. The updates could likely be based on the features borrowed from recently launched electric SUVs from Mahindra: BE 6 and XEV 9e. Let’s have a look at what to expect from these models in the upcoming model year updates.
Mahindra Thar: To Borrow Features From Thar Roxx
While Mahindra will not make any changes to the design of the 3-door Thar, its feature set will be updated. The Thar could borrow features like a bigger 10.25-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, auto AC, a wireless phone charger, and ventilated front seats from the Thar Roxx. There’s a possibility that it will also gain some safety features including 6 airbags (as standard), a 360-degree camera, and a level 2 advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). Currently, the 3-door Thar is being offered with a smaller 7-inch touchscreen and manual AC.
The powertrain options for the Thar are expected to be the same as before. The specifications are as follows:

Mahindra Scorpio N And XUV700: Feature Updates
The Mahindra Scorpio N and XUV700 will receive model year updates only, but the feature list could be significantly revised.
Scorpio N
Mahindra already offers the Scorpio N with premium features like an 8-inch touchscreen, a single-pane sunroof, dual-zone AC, and a 6-way powered driver’s seat. However, as a part of the MY25 update, it could additionally get a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a bigger 10.25-inch touchscreen, a 360-degree camera, and level 2 ADAS.
XUV700
The Mahindra XUV700 could borrow new features from the recently launched XEV 9e. The list could include a triple screen setup, augmented reality-based heads-up display, and a more powerful 1400 W 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. The XUV700 is already being offered with a 360-degree camera, 6 airbags (as standard), a 12-speaker Sony stereo setup and level 2 ADAS.
The powertrain options will likely remain unchanged for both SUVs. The specifications are as follows:
