The Mahindra Thar is a compact, mid-sized, four-wheel drive, off-road Jeep CJ-like SUV manufactured by Indian automaker Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd.

The Thar has been voted one of the top-10 SUVs available in the Indian market. Three variants - DI 2WD, DI 4WD, and CRDe, are available with soft-top versions. The Thar also comes with a seven-seater option, though it can be converted into a two-seater.
