Mahindra will unveil the long-awaited Thar 5-door at its annual Independence Day event in South Africa on August 15, where the Thar is expected to be one of the brand's global markets.
The 5-door Thar is a logical extension of the Thar product line, as it will appeal to a broader audience seeking a tough, go-anywhere SUV with added comfort and practicality for the entire family.
The Thar 5-door is expected to be powered by the same engines as the 3-door version, which means a 2.2-litre diesel and a 2.0-litre turbo petrol. It is also expected to have the same off-road capabilities as the 3-door, with features such as a low-range transfer case and a locking rear differential.
The Thar 5-door is expected to be priced slightly higher than the 3-door, but it is still likely to be a relatively affordable option for those looking for a capable off-roader.
The unveiling of the Thar 5-door is a significant moment for Mahindra, as it shows the brand's commitment to expanding its off-road SUV range. The Thar is already a popular vehicle in India, and the 5-door version is sure to appeal to a broader audience, both in India and abroad.
Here are some additional details about the Thar 5-door:
- It will be 300 mm longer than the 3-door Thar, giving it more interior space and a larger boot.
- It will have a wider track and a longer wheelbase, improving its stability on-road and off-road.
- It will have a more comfortable interior, with features like a touchscreen infotainment system and climate control.
- It will be available with a variety of off-road accessories, such as a roof rack, winch, and side steps.
The Thar 5-door is expected to be launched in India in early 2024.
