Upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-Door
The Scorpio N's platform is anticipated to be shared by the 5-door Thar. Additionally, it will have a longer wheelbase than the 3-door version. There will be additional seating space owing the long wheelbase. Although the Thar 5-door seating configuration is still a mystery, we can expect it to include a variety of seating options. One of them can have a 6-seat configuration with captain chairs in the front and second row, and the other can have a 7-seat layout with benches on the second and last rows.

Additionally, instead of being focused on the off-road riding conditions, we anticipate the suspension and other gear will be more road-focused. The brand might utilize the Scorpio N's Penta-link suspension to enhance the ride comfort of the car.

To preserve a similar silhouette, features, exterior design, and exterior character traits are anticipated to be carried over from its 3-door sibling. It might have a fresh interior design while maintaining the same atmosphere as the 3-door model. A touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, steering-mounted audio controls, cruise control, USB charging outlets, automatic climate control, and other features will be included in the feature list.

Upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-Door Engine
Engine specifications are probably going to stay the same. The 2.0-liter petrol and the 2.2-liter m-Hawk diesel engine options will be available for the 5-Door Thar. A selection of manual and automatic transmission choices will be available with both of these engine combinations. In addition, a full 4X4 option will be available, but the ordinary models might only have a RWD.
Verdict: Mahindra has been quiet about the Thar 5-door's introduction, although thorough testing suggests that the company could do so in early or mid-2023. Competitors of the 5-Door Thar, however, are also seen on testing and may make debut at the same time.
