Mahindra Thar 5 Door Spied With New Details
Some notable modifications include the incorporation of LED headlights and LED tail lights in the Thar 5-door, elevating both its visual appeal and functionality. While maintaining the overall rugged charm of the Thar, potential cosmetic adjustments are under consideration to align with the preferences of the target audience. You can notice the change in grill design with six slats and its more prominent existence than the current 3 door variant.
The spy shots provide a sneak peek into the interior, capturing the dashboard undergoing vibration tests. Revealing a dual-tone brown and black color theme, the cabin exudes sophistication, departing from the all-black theme observed in the standard 3-door Thar to give the 5-door variant a unique identity.

Moreover, observations of the dashboard suggest its adaptation for a larger infotainment screen, possibly a 10.25-inch touchscreen, contrasting with the 7-inch version found in the current model. The anticipated upgraded touchscreen is set to showcase Mahindra's latest user interface. Inside, added features encompass a sunroof, a new front armrest, and the inclusion of grab handles on the A and B pillars. As the 5-door Thar undergoes crucial vibration tests to ensure a quiet and comfortable ride, it is poised to offer enhanced driving experiences.
Powertrain
Powering the extended Thar will be the same engine options as the standard variant. The 2.0-litre petrol engine delivers a robust 150 PS of maximum power and 300 Nm of peak torque. Meanwhile, the 2.2-litre diesel unit produces 130 PS and 300 Nm. Both engines offer transmission choices, including a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic.
As for the anticipated pricing, the 5-door Thar is projected to fall within the range of Rs 16 lakh to Rs 20 lakh. To provide context, the current 3-door Thar starts at Rs 11.25 lakh for the RWD variant, with the top-spec diesel AT 4WD variant priced at Rs 17.2 lakh.
Verdict
As production is scheduled to kick off in mid-2024, automotive enthusiasts and prospective buyers anxiously anticipate the official unveiling of the Mahindra Thar 5-door. The vehicle is poised to deliver an upgraded driving experience, coupled with a captivating fusion of style and functionality. However, it will carry the typical Thar design statement, albeit with elongated wheelbase.
