Mahindra teases Thar.e concept, global debut on 15th August

The Thar.e will likely be based on Mahindra’s new born-EV platform.

NEW DELHI

Mahindra has provided a tantalising preview of the upcoming Thar.e electric off-roader concept, scheduled for a global unveiling on August 15 in South Africa. This reveal confirms earlier speculations about the cutting-edge electric vehicle.
The Thar.e is anticipated to be founded on Mahindra’s new born-EV platform, as indicated by the Born Electric lettering seen in the teaser. This innovative approach avoids the weight and space issues that the current Thar’s ladder-frame could present, providing the Thar.e with a potential advantage in range and battery space.
Styling clues suggest that the concept will feature unique Squircle design elements in the LED lights, as well as a pixel structure similar to a pickup concept Mahindra will also display at the event. These features reflect a blend of modern design with the robust character of an off-roader.
The adoption of a new dedicated EV platform aligns with Mahindra’s exploration of electric commercial vehicles. This is a feasible direction, as exemplified by electric adaptations of ladder-frame platforms like the Ford F150 Lightning pickup.
While specific details regarding range and powertrain remain undisclosed at this time, this teaser has stirred interest and anticipation in the automotive community. Industry experts and enthusiasts alike will be eagerly awaiting more information on the Thar.e as the date of the global debut approaches. Stay tuned for further developments.
