Mahindra Thar Earth Edition Exterior 

For starters, the Thar Earth Edition is finished in a Desert Fury shade, which is basically satin matte beige. You can also notice that the grille and the ‘Thar’ branding on the ORVM and alloys are finished in this new body colour. To dial up the stealth, the logos and ‘4X4’ badging have been blacked out, while you get body decals as well. Lastly, there is a ‘Earth Edition’ badging on the B-pillar to denote the variant you’re driving.

Mahindra Thar Earth Edition Interior 

Inside, the Thar Earth Edition gets black and beige leatherette upholstery seat covers with the headrests featuring a design embossing that mimics sand dunes in a desert. Also, the steering wheel, AC vents, center console inserts and the Thar branding on doors are all finished in the same Desert Fury body colour.

Another cool touch is that the Thar Earth Edition’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) plates on the dashboard is finished in an unique design with the serial number starting in ‘1.’ And lastly, chrome elements such as the steering wheel badging is finished in dark chrome while the AC controls are finished in piano black.
