With the 3-door Thar, Mahindra gained immense popularity, and the upcoming 5-door Thar is one of the most eagerly anticipated launches in India. The Mahindra Thar 5-door has been spotted numerous times and expected to make debut in January 2023. The present 3-door model provides the foundation for the 5-Door.

The engine and specifications should also stay the same.
Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5 Door
Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5 Door is the another eagerly anticipated launch in India. The Jimny will directly compete with the Thar 5 Door and it is expected to break covers on 11 January 2023 in Auto Expo.

We've already posted multiple stories on test mules of it being spied on in India. Going by them, the Jimny is expected to become one hot-seller in the market due to its design.
