Mahindra Thar 5-Door Spied Testing In Srinagar- Check Road Presence

The upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-Door has been spotted again, but this time, in the lap of Himalayas, Srinagar. On the road to its launch in 2024, this highly anticipated SUV has been spotted on multiple occasions already. While quite a lot of info is now in the open ( although from under the wraps), it keeps on rolling with heavy camo.

Let's move straight into the pictures and you can look at how it appears running on open roads.

Mahindra Thar 5 Door Test Mule Road Presence

The spy video of the 5-door Thar, captured during its test run on the Qazigund to Anantnag National Highway, reveals an SUV that's poised to offer a versatile driving experience. In its 5-door configuration, the Thar appears to be evolving into a more conventional SUV, making it suitable for daily commutes and providing ample space for weekend adventures and holidays.

Also, previous spy shots hint at a larger touchscreen, potentially reserved for the top-tier variants. Meanwhile, the lower trim levels might stick with the 7-inch touchscreen seen in the current 3-door Thar. With the 5-door Thar aimed at a more family-oriented market, the addition of new features seems likely, enhancing its appeal as a versatile and accommodating SUV option.

A look at the SUV flying on the road, obviously imprints a more imposing stance, courtesy of its longer wheelbase. While it adds to the appeal of Thar, as buyers will have more options to choose from, it has more to do with the family-oriented masses. As such, Thar 3-door is a good second vehicle for someone who is an enthusiast as well as a family person.

With the 5-door version, the brand aims to position it as a primary vehicle, which will boost the sales of the Thar moniker, with added practicality and the same ruggedness.

New Aesthetics, More Features

Previous spy shots have revealed a new grille design along with a single-pane sunroof on this upcoming SUV. While it largely retains its signature styling to stand out as a Thar, a bigger footprint means easily accommodating new features. Meanwhile, the recent spy shots have revealed a bigger infotainment unit as a separate standout unit at the center of the dashboard. A new upholstery, cabin theme, and some more advanced features are bound for this upcoming SUV.

Mahindra Thar 5-Door: Engine Details

The engine choices for the Thar 5-door will mirror those available for the 3-door variant. These selections encompass a 2.2-liter diesel engine generating 130 BHP and 300 Nm of torque, as well as a 2.0-liter petrol engine with an output of 150 BHP and a torque range of 300-320 Nm. It is expected that both of these engines will be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
