Mahindra Thar 5-Door Engine & Drivetrain
The upcoming Thar 5-door is expected to get the same 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine as the Thar 3-door version. The former produces 150PS of power while the latter produces 130 PS of power in the 3-door version. This time the brand might tune the engines differently for the 5-door version. The 5-door version is expected to be launched in both RWD & 4WD drivetrain.
Verdict
The 5-Door Mahindra Thar is long awaited in the Indian market. The current Thar does not offer the practicality for a family but the 5-dooe version will make the Thar more practical. The 5-door Thar will compete with the upcoming Force Gurkha 5-Door which is also anticipated to be launched in the coming months.
