Give a Thar, a Thar Roxx, or a Jimny more than a few months on the road and the stock look usually doesn't survive. Both vehicles have that boxy, upright shape that seems to invite tinkering — a different grill, better lighting, a bumper that can actually take a knock off-road instead of just looking tough in the showroom. At the core, that's what accessories are for: closing the gap between what the factory sends you and what the vehicle can genuinely do.
We've split this guide by model, mostly because Thar owners and Jimny owners tend to shop in a different order. Thar and Thar Roxx accessories are covered first, Jimny accessories after that, and then a comparison and a few buying notes at the end. Jump to whichever part is relevant.
Thar and Thar Roxx Accessories
Most Thar and Thar Roxx buyers have off-roading somewhere in the plan, even if in practice it's a couple of weekend trips a year. That intent shows up in what gets modified first — usually the useful stuff before the good-looking stuff.
Grill Options
The grill tends to be the first thing people change, and it's arguably the one part that does the most to alter how the front end looks. Popular right now: the Thar Roxx Angry Bird grill for something more aggressive, the Thar Roxx Rubicon grill if you're after a Jeep-adjacent look, and the Thar Wrangler grill, which has held its popularity mostly because it's simple and slatted and doesn't try too hard. Swap in a decent Mahindra Thar grill and the whole vehicle reads differently from across a parking lot — it's a bigger change than you'd expect from one part. Worth browsing the full range of Thar and Thar Roxx grills if you're torn between gloss black, matte, or two-tone.
One thing though — don't buy a grill off a product photo alone. Fitment tolerance matters more than most people think, and a grill that doesn't sit flush against your bumper cutouts looks worse than the stock unit did. Check compatibility for your exact variant first. Saves a return, and an argument with whoever installed it.
Fog Lights and Lighting
Lighting is one of the few upgrades where looks and actual usefulness line up. Fog lights and auxiliary LED kits aren't just there to look good after dark — on an unlit rural stretch or a night trail, they genuinely change how far ahead you can see and react. There's a decent spread of options: fog lamp upgrades, LED conversions, light bars built to survive vibration and a monsoon without quitting halfway through the season.
Worth being blunt about: rewiring or relay work should go through a mechanic, not a Sunday-afternoon DIY session. Even the "plug and play" kits can cause grief if grounded wrong, and a short circuit is a far bigger headache than losing a day to get it done properly.
Bumpers and Body Protection
Take a Thar somewhere genuinely rough and the stock bumper starts feeling like more of a liability than protection. That's the appeal of Thar Roxx bumper upgrades — ABS bumpers and steel underbody-shielded variants both help with approach angle and keep vulnerable parts out of harm's way on uneven terrain. Worth comparing bumpers across the Thar and Thar Roxx lineup before deciding, since ground clearance and shield coverage vary more than people expect.
Bonnet Scoops and Smaller Styling Details
Little things matter too. A bonnet scoop adds some visual weight and, depending on the design, a bit of extra airflow to the engine bay — though on the Thar it's more about looks than function, if we're honest. Paired with a new grill and bumper, it's usually the last piece that makes a build feel done rather than half-finished.

Jimny Accessories
The Jimny is smaller and lighter than the Thar, but that's not the same as being less capable off-road — its off-road reputation is well earned, and plenty of owners genuinely put it through real trail use. What's different is that far more Jimny owners also drive it daily, so cabin comfort and styling get just as much attention as anything trail-related.
Front Grill Options
The Jimny front grill category has taken off over the last couple of years, largely because owners are tired of every Jimny looking identical. Fit the right Suzuki Jimny front grill and the car's whole character shifts — it stops being cute and starts looking like it means business. There's a solid range of Jimny front grills worth a look, everything from mesh inserts to full replacements. Same rule as the Thar: confirm your variant's fitment before ordering, because a grill that doesn't line up with the bumper cutouts ends up looking worse than the factory piece.
Jimny Cup Holders
Sounds trivial until you've actually driven a Jimny with the stock cup holder in place. It's one of the most complained-about things in the ownership community — the factory design just doesn't hold a standard bottle steady once the road gets bumpy. A decent aftermarket cup holder sorts this out without looking like it was glued in as an afterthought, which is more than can be said for some of the cheaper ones floating around.
Jimny Spoilers and Exterior Styling
If you want a sportier rear end, a spoiler is a cheap way to get there. It won't do anything for how the car drives, but it does change the silhouette, and it's the kind of upgrade that photographs well even if its real-world impact is mostly cosmetic.

Thar vs Jimny: Where Accessory Priorities Diverge
Owners of both vehicles are usually after the same thing at heart — a car that feels like theirs, not just another unit off the lot. Where they part ways is in what gets bought first.
Thar and Thar Roxx owners tend to handle the functional stuff early: bumpers, underbody protection, lighting. Grills and cosmetic add-ons like a bonnet scoop tend to come later, often after the vehicle's already proven itself on a trail or two.
Jimny owners, more often than not, start with the grill, maybe a spoiler, a cup holder — and that's not because the car can't handle rough terrain. It can, easily, and plenty of Jimnys see real trail use. It's more that a lot of owners are running it as a daily driver first and a weekend off-roader second, so the shopping order just follows how the week actually breaks down between tarmac and dirt.
Neither way is more correct. It's really just two different vehicles fitting into two different routines.
A Few Things Worth Checking Before You Order
Some practical points before committing to any Thar or Jimny accessory:
Variant compatibility. Thar, Thar Roxx, and the different Jimny trims often have different mounting points. Don't assume one size fits all — it usually doesn't.
Material quality. ABS plastic, mild steel, and powder-coated finishes age differently under Indian heat and monsoons. Factor your local climate into the decision.
How hard it is to fit. Bolt-on parts like spoilers and cup holders are manageable at home. Grills, bumpers, and anything electrical are better handled by someone who does it for a living.
Warranty and support. Ask the seller directly whether they'll help if fitment turns out to be an issue. Better to ask before you pay than after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will a Thar Roxx grill fit on the older, standard Thar?
A: No — the Thar Roxx uses different mounting points and bumper geometry, so grills generally aren't interchangeable between the two without modifying something.
Q: Does an aftermarket grill on a Jimny void the factory warranty?
A: Usually not, if it's a bolt-on cosmetic piece that doesn't involve cutting or rewiring. Still worth a quick check with your dealer, especially if the car's under coverage.
Q: Does the aftermarket Jimny cup holder need drilling?
A: Most are built to fit directly into existing cabin space — no drilling required. Confirm with the seller before you install one, just in case yours is the exception.
Q: Can I fit LED fog lights on a Thar myself?
A: The physical mounting, sure. The wiring and relay work is better left to a mechanic — it's the difference between a clean install and troubleshooting a mystery battery drain a week later.
Q: Steel or ABS bumper for serious off-roading on a Thar Roxx?
A: Steel with underbody shielding holds up better and gives more clearance for real off-road use. ABS is lighter and cheaper if you're mostly staying on the road.
Q: How much ground clearance can I actually gain from a suspension and tyre upgrade on the Thar?
A: Depends on the kit, but a lift kit with larger all-terrain tyres usually improves approach and departure angles noticeably. Talk to a fitment specialist first — the real gain depends a lot on your variant and current setup.
Q: Does the Jimny's stock suspension cope with bigger off-road tyres, or does that need upgrading too?
A: It handles a modest size increase fine. Go considerably bigger, or run off-road often, and pairing new tyres with a suspension upgrade tends to pay off in ride quality and durability over time.
Q: Do roof racks affect how stable a Thar or Jimny feels?
A: Yes, to some degree — extra weight up top raises the center of gravity, which shows up in handling through tight corners or strong crosswinds. Staying within the manufacturer's roof load limit and spreading weight evenly keeps it manageable.
Q: Do aftermarket accessories come with their own warranty?
A: Depends on the seller and the part. Most reputable sellers offer something separate from whatever came with the vehicle, so ask about the specific terms rather than assuming your vehicle warranty covers it.
Bottom Line
Whether you're building a trail-ready Thar Roxx or just want your Jimny to feel a bit more like yours, the right accessories change how a vehicle looks, feels, and holds up — often more than you'd expect from a part that costs less than a service. From grills and lighting to bumpers and small fixes like a proper cup holder, every upgrade should work for how you want the car to look and how you actually use it. There's no shortage of options out there. The trick is picking what fits your vehicle and how you drive, not just what looks good in a photo.
